I had the pleasure of meeting Mark at the January 2005 Gift Show. I thanked him for tapping into the African American community with such quality products. I explained to him how much we as "African Americans" search year-round for unique and elegant Santa's. I can't wait for my collectors to see Mark's new 2005 Santa line. The picture to your right is the "Rocking Horse Santa" new for Christmas 2005. If you like the Rocking Horse Santa, you will fall in love with the Snow Skiing Santa!

All Mark Roberts Santa's and Fairies are unique, with the fabric being rich, beautiful, and luxurious. The charming life-like characters possess an heirloom quality that can be enjoyed from one generation to another. Mark introduced his first two African American Santa's in 2002 which have now retired. They are Santa at Work w/train and Santa w/cello.

Each piece exudes individuality and personality resulting from hand painting and fabrication by skilled artisans. All pieces are designed to move with ease for a magical and fanciful pose. All pieces come in a beautiful gift box with the registration card included. Mark Roberts Santa's and Fairies are limited editions and the price ranges from: $25 - $300 Look for this new line within the coming months.
