Steiff Bears Easter Items
Beacons Glow Collectibles has received in several of Steiff Bears 2009 Easter items that are so very nice to display this time of the year. They are suitable for Spring and of course Easter. As most of you already know, Steiff Bears is located in Giengen, Germany and both their mohair and alpaca pieces are hand-made in Germany. Their Steiff Cosy Friends line of plush items are now all produced in Germany also.
Some highlights of these Spring and Easter items are as follows:
Mr. Hopkins Rabbit
Peter Rabbit
Rabbit in A Basket (Picture above)
Assorted Dormilli Mohair Rabbits
As is always the case, Steiff Bears excels in the quality of all of their products. That would explain why this incredible company has been in existence for more than 160 years.

New Jim Shore Masterpiece Cuckoo Clock
We here at Beacons Glow Collectibles believe that Jim Shore has outdone himself with the creation of his Masterpiece Cuckoo Clock (4012470). This magnificently detailed stone resin cuckoo clock features a rooster that crows on the hour. (Jim Shore has thought of everything as there is a hidden volume control on the back of the clock that can easily be turned on or off).
This Masterpiece Cuckoo Clock (named "Old Time Tradition") measures 23-3/4" L by 4-1/2" H by 11-3/4" wide, and runs on 2 D cell and 2 AA batteries.
The Masterpiece Cuckoo Clock (4012470) differs from many of Jim Shore's other pieces as this is a truly functional piece and is intended for daily use as well as a decorative accent. It is quite breath-taking to see in person.
Beacons Glow Collectibles received in these cuckoo clocks today and we are certain that they will be very popular with Jim Shore Figurine enthusiasts.

About the Porcelain in Your Porcelain Doll
We here at Beacons Glow Collectibles enjoy watching the cable show 'How Its Made'. A couple of weeks ago they aired an episode on how porcelain is made.
Did you know that porcelain is the hardest ceramic there is? That is why porcelain objects can withstand more abuse than other types of ceramics. Porcelain is much harder and more dense than other ceramic products. Ceramics are fired at a lower temperature in a kiln and are only fired once, while porcelain is fired at a high temperature and is repeated 3 times.
Porcelain contains three ingredients: feldspar, quartz, and kaolin. (Incidentally, kaolin is one of the state of Georgia's largest natural resources. More than 8 million metric tons of kaolin is mined in Georgia each year, with an estimated value of more than $1 billion).
Porcelain is used for many items but one of its most popular uses is for porcelain collectible dolls.

Have You Ever Heard of Charlie Bears?
Beacons Glow Collectibles is both pleased and excited in becoming a new authorized retailer of Charlie Bears. In fact, we will be the first US retailer located in the state of Texas.
Haven't heard of Charlie Bears? Well, Charlie Bears was established in 2005 in the UK and are known round the world for being of the highest quality, as well as affordable, plush and mohair collectible teddy bears. Charlie Bears work with teddy bear artists around the world to offer bear collectors a great range of bears to choose from. Their motto is "Bears with Personalities".
Back in 2007, we were very interested in carrying Charlie Bears in the US. In fact, we were one of the first to contact Charlie Bears to check into the possibility. At that time Charlie Bears did not quite have all of the details in place for distribution of their bears in the US and Canada.
Beacon's Glow Collectibles has had several requests from customers regarding Charlie Bears and we are once again pleased to announce that we will be receiving in our first shipment of these spectacular bears in a few weeks.
For those of you who do not know, Charlie Bears have 2 Collections: 1. Charlie Bears Plush (where most are open editions) , and 2. Isabelle Collection (Mohair bears that are produced in limited editions). We will initially be carrying a nice selection of both.
Please check back occasionally to see when our Charlie Bears have arrived. We are sure that they will be an outstanding addition to our current line of products.
