My mom has been collecting for years and she gave me quite a few from her collection last year. The grouping of the large brown reindeer on top of the chicken coop is hers. We share alot of decor so they are still hers just staying with me for awhile! LOL She also bought me the reindeer that has boots and the one on the dresser that has skates and is inside a wire hoop. We have bought alot at yard sales and I love to find old flocked reindeer at yard sales or junk shops. It's something fun to look for that isn't a lot of money.

My mom has a set of Randy the reindeer and Rhonda the reindeer that are plush animals that lay on the back of her couch. I would love to find a set. She isn't ready to give hers up yet.

Back around 1910, my great-grandfather had a 500 head herd of reindeer before he packed up his family and moved to the US. My Mom totally loved seeing all your photos of your reindeer. Thanks for sharing!!

I have Rodney and Rhonda & Randy and Ramona also. Randy and Ramona are slightly smaller than Rodney and Rhonda. The tags says they're from Hallmark, 1986. They are draped over lampshades in the living room.

What a wonderful collection. I don't think anyone could do a better job of displaying them.
The trees are perfect with them, and I love the rustic look of some of your display items.
