My mantel village tribute to "Papa Ted" Althof

[Antoinette]

As many of us know, Ted Althof was the moving force behind the whole vintage "putzing" trend that has gained in popularity each year. His website, "Papa Ted's Place," was the place you went to with a cup of coffee every morning of the Christmas season, and the rest of the year besides. (Paul has archived Ted's site elsewhere here.) This year my mantel village and ongoing Christmas story pays tribute to this brilliant, multi-talented man, whose recent passing we all mourn. Please visit and, in the last scene of the village, join in a moment of sweet silence for this man who gave us so much joy and inspiration.
