WEE FOLK Series 2020
Holly & Molly Garland
The first set of twins to be born up at Santa’s Village.
Like all my Wee Folk they have special jobs that help keep the Spirit of Christmas alive.
Handmade & the largest of my WeeFolk at approximately 4 feet tall
Self standing and like all my “Works of Art” they are One Of A Kind!
HOLLY is the *Head Gardener
She can usually be found in the Poinsettia Green House trimming the trees and shrubs.Along with creating and breeding new colours. Her favourite is in the traditional RED & GREEN.
These are indigenous to Mexico, Central America all the way to southern Guatemala.
This is where she she first discovered them way back in the 1800’s
She alsew learned from the Aztecs how to use the plant for Traditional Medicine.
HOLLY is very busy during the Christmas Season for approximately 6 weeks she is getting the plants ready for the Annual “ After Christmas Festival “
Each year she tries to come up with a new colour for this event
to enter in the Wreath decorating competition. But her 1st Prize winning Wreath had had the traditional Red &White colours.
MOLLY, is a Confectioner and since the 1800’s she is the
Christmas Ribbon Candy Maker
She definitely has a sweet tooth and loves the rich flavours of Peppermint, Cinnamon & Cloves
Which is what we all think of from Christmas Past.
Originally she would create this beautiful Ribbon Candy by wrapping it around her thumbs.
She has taught this technique to the Candy Factory Elves in the North Pole
But…
In 1886 on a trip to Europe she met Dr Laskey who invented the first hand cranked mechanical Candy Crimper to make the Ribbons.
She still uses this Vintage machine that was created in the 1880’s. And it is safely kept in its original wooden box. It only came out at Christmas time when she would create just enough for the Festival and of course Santa and all the Elves looked forward to their Gift Tins each Year.
