Annalee Dolls began with a young woman meticulously dyeing felt fabric and the freehand painting of doll faces during the Depression. The Annalee legacy continues today, more than 80 years after the first dolls were made, Annalee Dolls remains a New Hampshire tradition, operating out of the same picturesque town of Meredith and bringing smiles to young and old. These classic felt creations are hand-crafted by Annalee Thorndike, in Meredith, New Hampshire. Today, the Annalee signature style is widely recognized for superior quality, timeless style and authentic hand-crafted design. The flexible wire frame gives Annalee dolls their unique pose ability.
