DeDe Ogden has peopled her stockings
with a menagerie of fanciful Santas and Snowpeople. The Collection
of Santas Stocking incorporates all the elements of holiday magic.
About her Collection of Snowpeople Stocking, she says, "When
a child builds a snowperson, it takes on all the dreams and wishes
of the child, my people do that too!"
