This traditional white snowman wants to warm your heart and home all winter season long! Meadowbrooke is hand-crafted out of hard shell gourds by a small team of expert crafters. His smiling face is hand-cut, and he comes with a sweet “carrot” clay nose. This black felt top hat is adorned with white winter berries and green detailing that matches his green scarf.
Approximately (give or take a snowflake) 4" x 8"
The design sits on a wooden base with a hole to allow it to be lit with a standard battery-operated tea light (sold separately).
Because this design is crafted using a natural gourd, each piece is ever so slightly different to make for a unique artisan piece with natural variance in color and size.
Meadowbrooke
The story begins with one farmer and the seeds from two gourds he found by accident. This accident turned into a dream that has lasted more than twenty years. It was during a trip to New England that he first saw fresh gooseneck gourds. He brought them home to the Central Pennsylvania area to grow and sell fresh in the fall along with pumpkins.
Ben Bear, that farmer, also had a background in carpentry and in the off winter months he began using the wood tools on the hard-shelled gourds, he crafted his first creations – bells, tiny birdhouses, and snowmen. This was the beginning of this crazy dream called Meadowbrooke Gourds.
