Citrus Snowman Kit?

19 years ago

Has anyone seen these at craft shows?

Saturday was "Christmas in our Town" day, here in the little NH town I live in. Crafters open their homes and the school has it's craft fair. There are about twenty homes open. It is a wonderful day.

Being the snowman nut that I am, I am always on the lookout for 'different or unusual' snowmen. I almost missed this one! Just as I was leaving one of the houses, I saw something in a clear plastic bag that looked like a snowman hat. So, I picked it up and was amazed! It was a Citrus Snowman Kit!

It consists of a 4"x 4"x 1/2" piece of wood, painted black, with a 1/4" hole drilled in the middle. A 12" long, 1/4" round dowel, with a wooden black hat on one end. A piece of material for a scarf. Two twigs about 4" long for the arms, and a little bag of whole cloves for the eyes and buttons. It came with a little card explaining how to put it together. You have to buy, a lemon, an orange, and a grapefruit!
You put the dowel through the lemon, holding the lemon sideways so the pointy end of the lemon is the nose. Then slide the orange on, then the grapefruit and then set the dowel in the 4x4 stand! Stick the twigs and cloves in and tie on the scarf. Walla, one of the most unusual snowman in my collection!!!!

I cannot beleive I paid $7 for it!!!! But.....it is the cutest!!

Just wondered if anyone else has seen these. Couldn't find any when I googled, except on the Sunkist site. It says there is a Citrus Snowman in their phamplet. Guess I will have to send for it.
