So this is what we all must do....
Drive to local thrift shops.
Stop.
Park.
Walk quickly to the decorating/household section.
Scan the shelves and isles for vintage Christmas decorations and dishes.
Trust me, there are treasures to be found!
Example of found treasure:
I just adore my vintage Annalee Rudolph. I found him looking so lonely in a plastic bag along with a couple of other discarded Christmas items at a thrift store in Alexandria, VA. Hold onto your seats ladies...I paid .49 cents for him!! He stand 9 inches tall, quite a handsome gentledeer! His tag reads:
U.S. A.
Annalee
Mobilitee Dolls Inc.
Meredith, N.H.
1965
He is actually older than I am!
Here he is in all of his glory.
I will treasure him and always provide a home for my wonderful Rudolph the Annalee doll.
So go forth my friends and find some treasures!!

Well...this little guy certainly deserved a good, new home. He is just precious.(-:
He is absolutely adorable! I never find those kinds of treasures at our thrift stores. Either that or it would have been $30 :-(
I'm so glad Rudolph the Annalee doll found a happy home where he will be loved, even if he did have to have a mug shot taken! It is so much fun to find treasures like this! Linda
Dang is he ever cute. Sometimes I wish that when I went into a thrift shop I had "Ann-o-vision" lenses in my glasses! They would help me see things so much more clearly -- and help me visualize The Possibilities and The Untapped Potential!!! :) xoxo
He's sooo cute!
He is just too cute! You did good in spotting him! I love thrift shops, they are like a fun treasure hunt every time! ;D
I LOVE him! Wish I could see him in person! :o(
You got him for what? Great deal. I'd go shopping with you any time!
