I once loved Annalee!  Lived in NH close to where they were located.  Seems like you could always pick up an appropriate gift from their collection.

I still remember their shop, they had, my husband was in retail ,and he would order them for me ,and buyers choice, no longer use them,sold most of my buyers choice.

I think the faces on the older ones are cuter than the newer ones. Love your Santa.

They really lost that sweet expression now!

@I am stillkeeper of the   I didn't know that. I don't have any but have seen them in stores. You have a big collection of the older ones. Lucky you!

I hate it when things like that are changed but it seems they always are.

Thanks for sharing. Loving all your pics.

@I am stillkeeper of the

thank you for sharing all your beautiful decorations.  My grandmother, mother & aunts had many of these little "kewpie" dolls but now (thanks to your posts) I know they are called Annalees.

My younger son & new wife are into vintage -- I shared your molded outside decor with them...they are always on the hunt for them.  When I moved I gave them my Santa in the sleigh w/the reindeer.  They now have a home to display & enjoy them!  

Have a very merry & blessed Christmas🎄🙂
