Why You'll Love It
This delightful holiday housewife or grandmother by Falcon Miniatures, inspired by the artistry of Marcia Backstrom, perfectly captures the cheerful nostalgia of a Christmas kitchen in miniature. Cast in hand-painted resin, her face is full of warmth and personality — from her kind smile to her expressive eyes framed by neatly pinned grey hair. She wears a vintage red polka-dot dress trimmed in lace, tied with a crisp bow at the back, and carries a tray of sculpted Christmas cookies detailed with swirls, sprinkles, and icing.
Her scale and expression make her the ideal figure to place in a festive kitchen scene, beside a decorated tree, or sharing cookies with Santa. Whether part of a family holiday vignette or standing alone as a seasonal character, she brings a sense of story, humor, and heart to any display.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
