Great Auction Finds


Hi Everyone,  The other night my son, grandson and I went to our local auction and I found these amazing Byers' Choice Carolers. You KNOW how expensive they are, so I was delighted that I was able to get them at a bargain price.  I already have one or two, so this will make a great Christmas display. The ones above are, I think, a butler with silver tray and tea cups (the way the photo is, he appears to be dropping them!) and the maid carrying poinsettias in a silver bowl.
The little girl is selling or maybe just bought some fish and the little guy is carrying an instrument to accompany his singing! Look how cute they are dressed!

Here's a close up view of a little girl in a red velvet coat and hat.  She is carrying snowballs.  I got eleven figures in all, and will show you my whole display when it is set up. Are you getting ready to decorate for Christmas, too? Byers' Choice Carolers are made in Chalfont, Pa., U.S.A. and you can check out their website at www.byerschoice.com

  2. These are amazing. I always wanted to collect a few, but they were too pricey. I hope you show us how you will use them. Great find, Egretta. Are you warm down there in Florida?

  3. I have not seen figurines like this before. They all look as if they are taking a sharp inward breath! "Pheeew"!
