Collecting Enesco
My friends and I have been collecting Enesco for several years. We actively attend art auctions and bid on
everything Enesco! We have a lot of fun finding pieces we don’t already have and winning them.
I think collecting Enesco is fun. I really like the Mary Moo Moo plates. They came in a collection of eight
plates from a series called Home is Where the Herd is. I’ve had a hard time finding a complete set at an art
auction, but I have found several single plates.
I started collecting Enesco right after I was married. I went to an art auction with my sister-in-law and she
pointed out some items that she was collecting. The experience I had with her that day really made an
impression on me.
I went to an art auction several months after the first one I attended and bought my first piece of Enesco. I
got my start collecting Enesco with just one plate. I bought an Enesco plate that said Cookies are for
Sharing. I have displayed it in my kitchen ever since.
I am still lacking an Enesco plate that says Cream of the Crop. It is hard to believe that I’ve been actively
collecting Enesco for so long and have been unable to locate this plate. I have duplicates and triplicates of
several of the plates. Each art auction I attend, I am hopeful that I will find the plate I need to complete that
set.
My best friend has been collecting Enesco ever since she had a baby a few years ago. She decided on a
teddy bear design for the nursery and I gave her a shower gift of several Cherished Teddies figurines for
decorating with. She found more of the figurines at an art auction she went to with me and has been
unstoppable ever since.
Precious Moments figurines have never been something that I particularly liked. My friend’s daughter loves
them. She started collecting Enesco Precious Moments figurines after we took her with us to an art auction
that had a small lot of them. She spends significantly less on her collection than the rest of us do, but I think
she’ll catch up.
My husband’s birthday is on Halloween. He has started collecting Enesco Halloween statues. I bought him
one statue at an art auction several years for his birthday and he totally fell in love with the work of Jim
Shore.
The first Enesco statue that my husband found for himself was at an art auction we attended together while
on vacation. He found the statue called Grim Reaper absolutely irresistible. I have to agree, the detail work
is positively spooky! He has been searching for other pieces, but does not pursue collecting Enesco very
actively.
My husband went golfing last weekend while I attended an art auction. Collecting Enesco is my passion and
I rarely pass up items that I really like. I found a piece for me that added to my Moo Moo plate collection
and I found a Headless Horseman for my husband’s collection.
The next piece that my husband has indicated that he wants to find at an art auction is the Jim Shore piece
called Witch on a Pumpkin. I know that collecting Enesco can be addictive and it is nice that he has decided
which pieces he really wants. I agree with my husband and really like the folk art that Jim Shore does.
