Jim Shore Angel of the month! Save 20% on our Jim Shore April Angel; during the month of April only, while supply lasts! Great deal for a great gift! Where the angels are normally $22.50, the April Angel is now only $18! The April Angel is part of the Heartwood Creek collection. The angel stands 6 1/4 inches tall and is wearing her beautiful April diamond birthstone on a necklace. She is also carrying a basket full of daisies, and wears a cream top and the base of her skirt reads, "April." like all Jim Shore angels and other figurines, this April angel is hand painted! This does mean that there will be slight variations from the image, although the variations are very small we found. It is what gives the collection it's uniqueness.
The great and famous artist Jim Shore is renowned for his monthly Angels and this month Department56Corner celebrates spring with a great 20% off sale on this months' special angel.

We just got our hands on some 'sold out' and 'retired' items that were still in stock! These are three items that were VERY HOT in 2011 and we just had to re-order one more time to give people who didn't have a chance to order it. Quantities are limited and when we run out of stock, we will not get any more in. See the three re-introduced items:

We are very excited to announce that the new 2012 introductions have arrived into our warehouse! Two great old big pallets of houses and accessories were received in our warehouse earlier this week and we are very excited about the way the new villages look! Unfortunately, this is just the Spring pre-pack, so inventory is pretty low; some of the new houses are already sold out for Spring and we are waiting until June for them to get huge amounts of stock in. One of these great new houses is the Snow Village Halloween - Mordecai Mansion, which is unfortunately already out of stock. One of the biggest sellers though, the Snow Village Halloween - Travis Louis' World Of Otherworldly Persons is still in stock, albeit in very slim quantities. The latter is a special event item and is thought to be one of the biggest hits of Department 56 in 2012. As always, the new Halloween items are super fun and they look extremely scary and very well made.
Also very popular every year are the new Dickens' Village pieces; the most popular one so far is the Dickens Village - The Partridge & Pear. This house is especially beautiful because of its charming copper painted roof top on the little tower-room. That accent makes this house so special, and it embodies what Department 56 is all about: adding subtle, yet distinct details to make the houses even more beautiful and more appealing.

Saturday is St. Patrick's Day, and Department56Corner has some awesome ways to celebrate the Irish!
Whether it's Charming Tails, Possible Dreams, or Jim Shore, there are some really nice Irish gifts we can show you. We created a little section, just for the wonderful Irish gifts. Happy Shopping on this wonderful Thursday!

We are very excited to introduce a new line of Figurines for Department56Corner.com! we are introducing Charming Tails, which are cute little mice in funny situations. To start of we have a select assortment of mice, focusing on the Spring theme, and everyday funny Charming Tails mice. The charming tails are very funny and we are sure that we have a little mouse for every occasion.
The mice are perfect for little gifts, the prices for the mice are very reasonable and start around $20. Most mice are around 3 to 4 inches tall and wide. There are some taller ones of course, like I said before: there is a Charming Tails mouse for every occasion!
Of course, we haven't forgotten about the time of the year, so we got the cutest and the nicest Spring Collection Charming Tails available. There are some really nice Irish mice as well. Especially the mouse in the hat depicted here on the right, I found to be very funny and original. We are very happy to announce that the Spring Charming Tails have just come into our warehouse, and are ready to be shipped. For your convenience, we added the amount available on our website so you know exactly how many you can buy without having to wait for your little gift(s).
Besides the little mice, we also have a small assortment of the Charming Purrsonalities! These super fun figurines depict everyday situations, or celebrations with a cat instead of a mouse in it. These little cats find themselves in roughly the same kind of situations, but then geared towards kittens. They are equally cute though! As the year progresses, and we see how people react to the little kittens and the little mice, we will expand our collection, and our inventory. We are very pleased with the way these little new additions look, and we are super happy with the Spring Collection. It just looks so funny and cute!
