A little something from me to you
A few years ago I collected this set of Napco figurines on Ebay. They were made by Napco, a company that did a pretty good job sometimes imitating Hummels, but were much cheaper.
I photographed them last winter and was going to make sets of notecards to sell, but never got around to it - and who knows if/when I ever will.
So I decided you should have them. You can download them and print them (email me if you want me to send them to you in higher resolution so you get sharper pictures). You can make your own cards or group them in frames or use them for your desktop.
Everytime I look at them I smile, so I figure they will cheer you up too!
Enjoy!

Very sweet! I'm going to print and frame the ironer, mender and washer girl for my laundry room.
I believe these are the sort of figurines my husband bought in a drugstore for his mother when he was a little boy--she collected Hummels and that's what he thought they were. :)

I love them! My favorite is the little girl mending the sock.

oh, Barbara, that explains how you saw my Hummel collection. I wondered how with all the business of eating and talking you could look around and see things. You'd be proud of me, pictures lower for the boys, coat rack up for them to reach, and some preschool "work" on shelves for garrett. I have some photos ready to send as soon as my husband shows me how. Jaent
