What (else do you collect) : I also have tons of dolls that I've been collecting since I was a kid. I also love art toys and vintage toys.

How fun! Thanks so much, Jelene.

When (did you start) : I started collecting nutcrackers when I was a teenager.

Where (do you find them) : I collect them from all over. I have some from Germany, some my family and friends have given me.

How (many do you have?) : I have 25 of them so far http://www.cropdresses.net/Colored-Wedding-Dresses.html - purple wedding dress .

What (piece would you like to add): I've seen some nutcrackers that have costumes, or ones that look like chefs. http://www.speeddress.org/2013-Hot-sale-strapless-party-dresses-wedding-dresses-Free-Shipping-09292B3-beauty.html">
Those would be fun to have.

What (‘s a crazy/interesting story behind one) : I became fascinated with nutcrackers when I first saw the play The Nutcracker at age 11. http://www.pretdress.com/SLD30937-beauty.html">
I wanted one for Christmas, but they were really expensive… so unfortunately I didn't get one that year. I think during that time, most of them were around $150 or more http://www.pretdresses.com/Military-Ball-Dresses.html - cheap ball gowns . Since they have become more popular with Christmas, now they are easier to find.

For me http://www.raildresses.net/wedding-dresses-plus-size-wedding-dresses.html - special occasion dresses plus size , one of the most nostalgically captivating scenes of the year shines bright on the stages around the world as Tchaikovsky's ballet, The Nutcracker Suite, thrills children of all ages. This whimsical fairytale, where toys come alive and vivid color swirls all around, tells the story of a world filled with whimsy, festive fashions, and something glorious to capture the imagination of every child.

Happy Holidays, nicies!
And may all of your festive dreams come true!

What (are you collecting) : Nutcrackers

Why (do you love them) : I've just always loved them ever since I saw them as a child. I think of them as dolls http://www.raildresses.net/wedding-dresses-a-line-wedding-dresses.html - A line dresses , but just in wooden form. Some of them are really detailed http://www.raildresses.net/wedding-dresses-plus-size-wedding-dresses.html - plus size sexy dresses . I think it's funny how originally they were for cracking nuts http://www.speeddresses.com/Bridal-Party-Dresses.html - party dresses for juniors , but now they are just mainly for decoration.

Hope you'll just love this festive nutcracker collection with the pop art sensation, .

Where (do you keep them) : I keep them in my doll case http://www.pretdresses.com - discount prom dresses , but during Christmas, I have them out on display for everyone to see them.
