I'm the short one but grew to be taller than my sister. We so loved those reindeer! I can't remember for sure, but I think they came from Eaton's Christmas catalogue. The newspaper ad is from the mid 1940s. I spotted it in the archives and it advertises children's Kenwood coats and legging sets with matching hat for $25. That was a lot of money back then but our Mother always wanted us to look good. I feel a little guilty sitting here in my vintage snowflake PJs writing this post.

I always loved looking at the old papers and catalogs my grandparents had around their house. They never threw anything away. If they were still alive the would be approaching 110 years old. The prices were always interesting to me. I wondered why we had to pay so much when they got to pay so little :).
