Love Comes a-Knocking When You Least Expect It

When someone remembers you on Valentines Day you know that you are loved.

Enesco's Pretty As A Picture collectibles are not your ordinary gifts. They last longer than greeting cards that may end up in a drawer, flowers that die in a few days and candy that may be quickly eaten.

Why not give an uncommon, thoughtful gift this year that will last?

There are many popular series of figurines, with Pretty As A Picture being some of the more popular.

Here are some of my favorites! Hopefully you will find something here for your Valentine!

Some of these are one-of-a-kind items that are out of production, so you'd better act quickly! Click an image for more information and to purchase the gift.

Pretty As A Picture

A brief history

Pretty as a Picture porcelain bisque figurines and photo frames were produced and distributed by Enesco. This collection is now retired. The nostalgic photography of European photographer Bertram Bahne (alias: Kim Anderson) inspired this series.

The Pretty as a Picture collection of figurines was first produced in 1996. Enesco artists created their 3-dimensional interpretations of the artwork and began producing the figurines through their manufacturing relationships in Indonesia and China. The figurines are created using the same type of porcelain bisque as their enormously successful Precious Moments figurines. 2003 was the final year of production for all Pretty as a Picture collectibles from Enesco.
