Spring is upon us! And boy do we love to be out of the Winter cold season. Here in Virginia we got a little cold spell the other day, with quite some snow and a lot of disruption, but luckily no bad storms...
In the long cold Winter months we took the time to update the newest and latest Snowbabies! We actually expect the first ones to come in pretty soon now, so keep an eye out for these new introductions!
We've also updated the look and feel of the snowbaby area on our website, so it's easier for you to find the perfect snowbaby for yourself or to give as a special gift to somebody.
There are a total of 7 new 'collections' in the Snowbaby area: there are the classic Snowbabies, the ever expanding 'SnowDream' snowbabies, the guest collection (with Snowbabies from Disney and other cartoons or classics), there are the ornaments, the accessories, and the annual collectible animals. This years annual collectible animal are two Polar Bear Cubs
As a change from last year, we've now put these two lovely animals into a set, and this way you actually save money! The two bears are each two inches tall and three inches long. They make a very nice addition to any snowbaby collection. We like to have ours out all year and put the little bears by themselves on the mantle. It looks really cute.
If you like the collectible animals from the Snowbabies collection, you may also be interested in the new for 2012 Spring animals that we also sell in a set. The little lambs are about two and a half inches tall and are standing on a green, grass, speckled platform. It's getting closer to the Easter season, and all our snowbunnies are limited in quantity. We are getting very good feedback from our customers about the new Spring snowbunnies, people say they are funny, cute, and original. I personally like the colorful addition to the bunnies, it makes them look very cheerful. Isn't that what everyone wants this time of the year?
So check out the latest, the cutest, and the funniest Snowbabies in our 2012 New snowbabies section, and let us know what you think of them!

I can't believe it myself, but the Holiday season is barely over and we're starting to talk about Easter and Spring! Now, we are based in Virginia, and I can tell you, it sure looks like Spring over here! Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the mid 60's! That's crazy for the end of January. But it does get me in the spirit of Spring! And when i think of spring, I think of Snowbunnies!
This year's Snowbunnies have a unique look to them compared to other years:

• A nice green base where the Snowbaby is placed upon
• Many of the pieces are adorned with cute and colorful ribbon. This ribbon is either an accessory to the snowbaby or creates a hip skirt for her!

Another difference from other years is that we decided to sell the Collectible Animal as a set of two, instead of two different SKU's. Department 56 brings the Lamb back this year as the collectible animal. The cute little lambs set is one that is sitting and one that is standing.
Last year we had the sitting and standing hens, of which we still have some left.
Everything in the Snowbunnies series is limited in quantities and for 2012 only!
