Hansa Specials Hansa animals appeal to collectors and animal lovers of all ages. Available in various distinctive unique collections, these hand-crafted and highly realistic cuddly plush toys represent animals from all over the world. Hansa are known and respected for their close-to-nature reproductions of the world’s best loved animals. This week, we are proud to present to you, for a limited time, two of our very special Hansa pieces at an additional 15% off the listed price! All Hansa pieces are hand-crafted of realistic plush. Each coat is meticulously cut by hand- never stamped out by machine. Gentle paws, a swishing tail, and an especially expressive face with soulful eyes are all lovingly detailed to give the life-like look. All pieces come with a 'Toys that Teach' tag that describes, in detail, the animal's habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young, and eating habits. Make no mistake! The Sitting Elephant Mouse, measuring 4 1/2" long, 5 1/2" high and 3 1/4" wide and the Budgeriegar Parakeet, measuring 2 3/4" long, 5" high and 1 1/2" wide (pictured in that order) are no exception to this particular care and each would make the perfect gift for the animal collector or special child in your life.  You'll typically find both these pieces retailing for $20 and more. On our website, we're offering them to you $10.99 and $13, respectively. For one week only, we're offering these pieces to you at an additionaly fifteen percent off!

Department 56 Updates Within the last few months, many of our customers have placed orderes for items from the company Department 56 only to find out that their orders were placed on backorder and that we did not have an exact date by when could expect the company to ship. Our most heartfelt go out to those of you have been patient for so long and ( we have the following to say regarding the mess-up )As of March 17th, e-mails have gone out to all customers regarding the items listed below. Since we understand that mistakes can happen and a customer can be overlooked despite the best of intentions, we have prepared the following: beneath the following three cuts you will find a list by Item Number/Description for the pieces that are expected to ship to us immediately (no later than Monday), the pieces that we are next in line for (presumably within the next month, hopefully less) and the pieces that the company does not have an ETA on. We are aware that it may take some time for those of you with multiple items on order to go through this list, which is why we have sorted it by numerical order, to make it easier to find the pieces on your order. Please note: When reviewing the list, and comparing it to your orders, the '56.' and '57.' that precedes the rest of the item number should be disregarded. Additionally, US customers can expect to receive their order, in-hand, within three weeks of the company shipping the item to us. International customers may have to wait an additional two weeks. ( Items to Ship by Monday )( Items to Ship Shortly )( Items with No ETA )We thank you, again for your patience.

Lladro The origins of Lladro date back to a small craft workshop built in the mid-1950s in Almacera, near Valencia, Spain. Driven by their artistic restlessness and the desire for a better life, the three brothers, Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro, sought new ways to produce porcelain. The public was immediately enthusiastic about their creations and in a short time, the small workshop was expanded several times. A growing number of collaborators joined the team and the brothers' work was able to reach even more interested people. In 1953, the three Lladro brothers start their professional activity in a small workshop in Almacera, a rural village near Valencia, Spain, where pottery has a deep-rooted tradition of great wealth and originality. In addition to decorative plates, jugs, vases and other gift articles, Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro create their first sculptures, born of classical inspiration. Today, the porcelain sculptures of Lladro are recognized all over the world for an artistic style that is both original and authentic. Taken as a whole, these works form a tranquil universe where the beauty and emotion of human experience are impeccably expressed. The following collections are offered by Lladro: AngelsAnimalsBabiesChristianityChristmasCircusDance and MusicElegant LadiesFamily TimeFantasyFlowers and GardensHistory and LiteratureDining and DecorInspirationJewelryKids are KidsNatural NudesOrnamentsOther CulturesPlaying with my PetProfessionsRomanceWeddings and AnniversariesWork and HobbiesWhile we're always in the process of updating our website with the newest pieces, you can view the current Lladro collection here. | 3:05 pm [giftshop_mod] |
