New PANDORA Charms!

The New SPRING 2009 PANDORA Charms have arrived! We anticipated a mid-late April release, but to our delight, an overnight package arrived today with all of the fabulous new beads just in time for our Trunk Show tomorrow!

Because we are a PANDORA Shop-in-Shop, we get all the newest releases first! Be the first with the new ELEPHANT charm, FORGET ME KNOT charm, YIN AND YANG charm, and more! Plus, we have all the new match jewelry including necklaces, rings, and earrings!

Beat the Sales Tax Hike!

On April 1, 2009 Sales Tax in the entire state of California is increasing by 1%! Here in San Bruno, our tax rate is 8.25%, so next Wednesday it will be 9.25%.

Not to fear, our great 6-Month Layaway and 90 Days Same as Cash will help cushion the increase. Get your Layaways put away before April 1 to reserve your items at the old tax rate!

If there is something you have been wanting for a while, now is the time to do it and SAVE!

Hummel Figurines Back in Action

In my September 15 blog, I had writen about how Goebel, the makers of MI Hummel figurines, were discontinuing the line. A few weeks ago, Goebel put out a press release stating that new investors have purchased the Hummel rights, and will begin to produce new pieces in early 2009! The investor group, Manufaktur Rodental GmbH, will continue producing the steadfast figurines in their Rodental, Germany factory. They will be reinstating, and growing, the MI Hummel Club which currently has approximately 130,000 members worldwide.

A Cool Tool from Swarovski

We all love to enjoy our Swarovski crystal collections. Each piece has a special meaning - a special beauty to it. Now, with Swarovski's new Virtual Collection tool, SCS members can enjoy their collections on their computers at work, at home, or on the go. With the MY COLLECTION link on Swarovski's page, SCS members can track their entire collection of crystal, print it out, and even create a beautiful screen saver. This database is all encompassing, dating back to Swarovski's first pieces in 1976.

Even if you are not an SCS member, you can still enjoy their Wall of Fame which catalogs every Swarovski piece ever made. To become an SCS member, come into the store or check out our Swarovski section on our website.

Aloha Disney Fans

The Walt Disney Classics Collection has hit another home run! Their newest set Mickey's Hawaiian Holiday has been flying off our shelves! The set was inspired by the 1937 cartoon short featuring Mickey, Minney, Donald, and Goofy. This release also comes in conjunction with some of their other great first quarter releases including, the Jungle Book's Vultures, The Little Mermaid's Ariel and Eric Statue, and The Pirates of the Caribbean Elizabeth Swann.

Come in to check out all the new WDCC releases! Here is the clip from Disney's Hawaiian Holiday (1937).
