Yes, since I finally got my Ideal Baby Jesus, the decorations and all in the room finally look complete. I wanted that little doll for so long but just never saw one anywhere or any doll show, antique mall or anyplace. Finally, it dawned on me I could find one on Ebay but the times I looked before, he wasn't for sale. Last year there were about three at the time I was looking and right after I got mine, another popped up on Ebay that included the whole set with the backdrop, etc., for about the same money! Still, glad I missed that one as I would have never used that old background and box, etc., as I am not that kind of collector. But he is so cute and yet has that wonderful look for old, traditional and classic religious art of old. He looks right at home under the tree.
With my sternum injury, I've hesitated to get out my Fontanini Nativity as it is in a large drum under a heavy table I have to move to get to it. It will hurt to get it out but I have to this week. I miss seeing it!
