Perfect for your vintage Christmas decor. Annalee is a once-upon-a-time story of a doll-making cottage industry that made it big . . . nationally big. But what makes this story different is that it’s infused with magic—a very special magic that is uniquely Annalee. Since the early 1950’s, her focus was on human figures. She continued to focus on human figures doing everyday things and had categories for occupations, sports and hobbies. She also introduced some animals into the line. The holiday and seasonal lines flourished, Santa, mice, elves and animals became the core of the collections. Annalee was inspired by the family holiday traditions. “The ideas emerged from research and reading,” Annalee said “After all, this is when people really show how much they care for each other.” Annalee’s designs reflected simpler times and her own sense of human nature and humor. Whether a Christmas elf or an Easter frog, one characteristic threads itself throughout the entire family of dolls: ”It’s the ‘positive-ness’ of the face,” said Annalee. “It’s the smile. If you smile, someone else has got to smile back.”
