Summer Fun From Days Gone By…

Summer has always been a favorite season for Annalee decorating! Original creator Annalee Thorndike was inspired by her summer adventures in New England and loved to capture these summer fun moments in her designs. We’re happy to share a few pictures of some of her early creations dating back to the 1950s. Annalee spent a lot of her life in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region and loved to capture beach days in her humorous and animated manner. Summer designs often captured swimmers, divers, bathing beauties, snorkelers, and even water skiers. Here are a few pictures from our archives.
