The 2003 ornament series featured the historical girls in their birthday finery with their pets.
Heeeeere's Molly:
She comes in just under 4 inches, from base to tip of her crown.
Although it's hard to see in my blurry photo, her glasses are grey and protrude just slightly. That adds some dimensionality to her face. She is portrayed wearing her white ruffled birthday pinafore and crown, and is holding her new puppy Bennet. Squee, doggie! Bennet is rendered quite nicely (note to self to get better photos).
I think I like this ornament best of all of the 2003 series, because the colors are so vibrant and cheerful and glossy. Best of all, since we use these for display and not actual ornaments, Molly's birthday crown hides the unsightly hook that sticks out of her head.
We don't use these figurines as much as the earlier set of the Historicals in their Christmas finery, but we get them out for display now and again. We have all but Samantha and Kit. Same great quality as the original set (except for those ugly glasses of Molly's, but they're better than the Christmas version so that's something at least).
Felicity. Ignore the dust.
Kirsten:
Addy:
Now retired, these ornaments come up regularly on EBAY and can still sometimes be found on Hallmark overstock tables. Even NRFB, I would not pay more than $10 for them.
