Burr-tholemew

Meet Burr-tholemew, the seasoned snowman ready for whatever winter brings! With his broom in hand, pipe in mouth, and scarf tied snugly against the chill, Burr-tholemew isn't dreading the storm that Flake Jr. forecasted — he's welcoming it with cheerful anticipation.

Created in 2004 by David Simpich, Burr-tholemew was the first of the two snowmen in this charming series, followed by Flake Jr. the next year. This piece perfectly captures David's whimsical artistry and his lifelong love of snowmen, Christmas, and the storytelling spirit of the season.

From the vibrant blue scarf and red mittens to the dappled snow texture and playful grin, every detail reflects the care and imagination that define the Simpich legacy. Produced in very limited numbers, these snowmen have become highly sought-after collector's pieces, representing one of the final chapters of the Simpich studio's original holiday creations.

In Heirloom Condition, Burr-tholemew stands ready to bring warmth, humor, and a touch of winter wonder to any collection — a delightful reminder that the best storms are the ones that bring joy.

Flake Jr.

Things are looking up for Flake Jr. — with heavy snow in the forecast and plenty of cheer in the air!

This endearing adolescent snowman was designed by David Simpich, whose skill as a master puppeteer and storyteller shines through in every sculpted detail. Dressed in a cozy stocking cap, bright red mittens, and a cheerful red scarf, Flake Jr. gazes skyward with wonder, one mitten outstretched to catch the first flakes — no doubt double-checking the predictions in his trusty "Forecasting Made Simple" booklet tucked under his arm as he makes his own calls on the coming winter weather.

Whether displayed alongside the other beloved Simpich Snowmen or standing proudly on his own, Flake Jr. brings a touch of winter magic to any collection — a joyful reminder of the wonder and whimsy that define the Simpich legacy.

Better Together — A Complete Two-Piece Set

Some pieces simply belong together, and these two were made for each other — a year apart. Flake Jr. consults his booklet and announces the happy news; Burr-tholemew, broom in hand and pipe aglow, is already dressed for the occasion. One predicts the storm, the other welcomes it — and sold together as a complete two-piece set, the whole conversation comes home with you.

Finding both snowmen together, rather than gathering the pair one flurry at a time, is a rare delight for any collector. Displayed side by side, they carry on their little weather debate all season long — the forecast and the festivities, the wonder and the welcome — ready to greet every winter your family shares with them.
