This amazing set of Christmas figures reminds me of a set once owned by my wonderful neighbor, Sally Eustis, who I loved dearly. Her's were French, I think, as that was the last country who could claim her before she moved to the US, although England was probably in there as a background pretty strongly. One of her English friends, when talking to her over the phone once said, "Sally, you sound so American!" She said back, "And you sound so English!" She had a wonderful set she brought out every Christmas, her Cresche figures. |
