It's amazing what you find

c0_ Kneeling Santa with Baby Jesus by Rudoph Vargas commissioned by Raymond P GauerWhile researching my Kneeling Santa statuette I blogged about here, I ran across someone who collects them. I was amazed how much I was able to learn about this gentleman, just by following the bread crumbs that public records and local news reports leave.

Thank you Ray Hartman for a wonderful journey. I wish I could sit in your home and talk about your collection over a cup of coffee.

What defines our collective kitsch? What are the moving pieces between tawdry and tasteful?
