Jim
Lutheran minister and collector of nativity scenes
My wife and I are "empty nesters" but our children (two sons, two daughters) are beginning to fill their own nests with offspring! We started purchasing a German handcarved nativity set (available piece by piece) almost 40 years ago, and added a few extra sets along the way, without realizing we were "collectors." Then we discovered the "Friends of the Creche," a US society of nativity collectors, and discovered the true nature of our "illness." We now have more than 200 representations of the nativity from around the world. We delight in having such a wide variety of ways in which the wonder of Christ's birth is expressed!
What I like most about Novica:
I like the wide variety of artistic styles, materials and methods represented by Novica artisans. I also appreciate knowing something about the artists and their craft! Finally, I support this method of marketing by which artisans receive fair value for their work.
