Fall for Tinkerbell

As the autumn leaves are getting ready to turn, the Walt Disney Classics Collection brings us a fantastic new piece to ring in the season. Tinkerbell: Blythe Fairy, captures the mischievous beauty of everyone's favorite fairy, all the while sitting on a beautiful Autumn leaf.

This limited edition piece of 2,000 is sold out! What this means is that the distributer, Enesco, does not have any more pieces available to ship to retailers. At Designers Center, we have stocked up on this great seller, but we too are getting low, and almost sold out. The piece retails for $99.99, and quatitites are very limited! Call 650.871.4462 to order!

For some inside information regarding the Walt Disney Classics Collection, view Duckman's Blog. Duckman is a very well educated collector that passes on his knowledge and passion for the WDCC. Give it a read!

End of an Era

Since the 1930's, M.I. Hummel figurines have dominated the collectible market with porcelain sculptures that have captivated many collectors. At Designers Center, we have been carrying Hummel's for over 20 years, and it has become a staple gift for our customers, particularly at Mother's Day and Christmas. We have watched the line evolve right in front of us as collectors have built, and passed on their collections to future generations.

At the recent gift show at the America's Mart in Atlanta, we received news that the Hummel collection was no longer going to be made. While the news is shocking, collectors will not feel the effects for a while, as Goebel (the makers of Hummel) has loads of backstock to keep the shelves stocked for a while longer. Word is from our sources, however, that the line may still be picked up by another distributor, and production may continue (possibly not in Germany).

At this juncture, we have made a descision to close out our entire Hummel collection. While it was not an easy descision to make, we felt that with the current situation, it would be best to move forward with other lines.

So what does this mean for you??? Well, we are running a SPECIAL on ALL HUMMEL FIGURINES! Your first pices is 25% OFF, while all pieces after that are 50% OFF! Select pieces are instantly discounted to 70% OFF! This sale will be running through the end of September, or while stock remains. Take advantage before they are gone.
