Snowman in the Making!

From the SNOW PEOPLE collection by Darling & Company, Seattle, WA.

Snowmen first came on the scene, according Bob Eckstein, in his "History of the Snowmen" in the 16th century. They became especially popular in the Victorian era. He writes, "The picturing of snow people flourished in the penny-postcard era (1890-1920) when many thousands of cards were made."

What could be more delightful than a freshly created snowman!

  6. Satta king Play Bazaar It very well may be about their contemplations on another item, their conclusion on how you're doing with client support or whatever else to which you'd like an answer.
