Who Created the Possible Dreams collection?

One Christmas evening in 1976, a group of friends set off to enjoy a dinner of celebration at a small country inn nestled in a quiet river town. As they rounded a bend in the road, they saw the small, old-fashioned village decorated for the holidays. The lights, like fairies, glowed and sparkled amid the freshly fallen snow. All evening, the conversation was full of Christmas memories and the visions the tiny town had evoked. Amidst the jovial banter and magical memories, the idea for, Department 56 was born.

In 2005, the popular Clothtique Possible Dreams collection was added to an already strong line-up of outstanding giftware. Every figure is handmade by a team of skilled artisans. It has become the No. 1 Santa brand in the world. The “Possible Dreams” Santas are each designed with a nod to the original Santa Claus who is a very busy man. Designed by U.S. artist, Ann Dezendorf, each figurine is hand sculpted with unique facial expressions and poses, personality and sometimes, humor – no two Santas are the same!
