And I can't find one! I have a nice porcelain one that was gifted to me a long time ago that truly is beautiful - but they're all pasty white. We need a new one. I'm not entirely wanting a totally AA nativity - that's not exactly true either. However, I can't find one that I like anywhere - Ten Thousand Villages, or anywhere.
Any ideas??
I collect Nativity sets and have several from Mexico and a few primitive ones, but it is really hard to find others. I would eventually like to have sets from other countries.

I looked on ebay. I'm thinking about [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/NIB-11-PC-AFRICAN-ETHNIC-NATIVITY-SET-BELKS-/260695662758?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb2ac20a6"]this one[/URL], it's more like what I'm thinking.
I like it!
Here are a couple more you might like.

I have the Willow Tree nativity...not exactly AA, but not pasty white either!

If you have any kind of porcelain craft shop in your area, you can have one made to order. I ordered one years ago with all the robes in shades of green with gold accents. I am sure you can specify "people colors" also.
Jen-Look on Etsy for some one who makes them. I ordered the boys ornaments from a lady on there and she did two separate skin and hair tones for the boys. They came out super cute. I hope to order a transracial family ornament from her for next year!
You can mix and match..after all the people were more so brown/POC. Some lighter than others.
This is what I have, a nice set..not garish and decent quality.

In addition, I had a Fisher Price type set of all brown for the kids. I also found a ceramic set that the kids painted last year for their playroom display. It was a nice and sometimes hilarious way to discuss various skin hues.
