For This & That Gifts Owner, Annalee Collectibles Have Personal Appeal
Frankfort, IL – This & That Gifts owner Nancy Cartolano started collecting Annalee dolls over 20 years ago shortly after she got married.
“Once I saw that first Christmas one, that was it,” Cartolano shared. “I started with the big Mr. and Mrs. Claus the first year. Then I got a snowman. Then I got a gingerbread man. Every year I’d add something.”
As she collected them, she set them out with her Christmas china on her buffet as part of her holiday decorating. But then she began expanding her collection. She now has charming little figures which represent Easter, Valentine’s Day and more.
