We are thrilled about the getting the opportunity to offer WEBKINZ by Ganz - one of this season's hottest top toys for 2006 for both children and adults alike.WEBKINZ are a collection of cute, cuddly pets. Each carries a secret code that unlocks a virtual world of fun and adventure at www.webkinz.com. This site is a safe and secure website for kids, and adults alike. As Ganz states: "Webkinz World is the place where a plush Webkinz pet comes to life! In Webkinz World, one can care for their virtual pet, answer trivia, and play the best kids games on the net. "At a high level, here is how it works. Children (or their parents or grandparents) purchase a Webkinz plush toy animal. Then, using a secret code that comes with their new plush animal, they ‘adopt’ the cuddly critter online at the Webkinz website. Once the toy has been ‘adopted’, owners can create virtual rooms on the Webkinz website, find friends online, interact with each other, and converse. While online, owners can earn additional virtual accouterments for their rooms and by using ‘kinzcash’. Everything is available for sale, from wallpaper to virtual food for one's pet with kinzcash. Webkinz teaches several important skills including: responsibility, money, wellness, nutrition, computer skills, problem solving, following directions, testing knowledge, and more.
Educational questions cover the arts, science, math, social studies, health, language, science, animals, and sports. All questions are based on the individuals age ranging from 5 to 13+.Beacon's Glow Collectibles will initially be offering 32 different WEBKINZ plush pets. Also, we will be offering purses and backpacks to carry WEBKINZ pets in. Please check back to see when they have arrived.

Lang Candles to be Discontinued
We were quite surprised to hear the latest news from the Lang Company of Delafield, Wisconsin. The Lang Company has announced that as of Janaury 1, 2007, they will no longer be selling Lang Primitive jar candles and melters. If you are interested in purchasing any of your favorite Lang Primitive Jar Candles or Lang melters from Beacon's Glow Collectibes, we might recommend doing so in the near future. Once these candles are gone, they will no longer be available. We apologize for any inconvenience that this causes, but unfortunately, the situation is out of our control.Quote for the Day - "If we don't change, we don't grow.

Just Arrived - New Lang Primitive Jar Candle Scents
In order to give you, the customer, a wider variety of candles to choose from, we have added 4 new scents. (Actually, it is 3 new scents added to our Lang candle line as Apple Dumpling is a scent that was once retired and has been introduced. )These scents are:All four jar candles are available in the large-sized candle (23 ounce). Please do not be deceived by the images on the site as they are all large jar candles. Lang has reduced their wax poured in each candle from 26 to 23 ounces, but they burn for as long a period of time.Quote for the Day - "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." - Anonymous
We Are Deeply Saddened
We received the news that Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen, creator of the infamous "Dolls by Pauline" and "Paulinette" lines of dolls, passed away this past Saturday, October 7, 2006, after a long struggle with cancer. Her son, Ernst, emailed us late last night with the following:"Dear Friends,We have heartbreaking news to share with you. Pauline passed away in the early morning of Saturday, October 7th. Throughout her last days, Pauline remained enthusiastic about designing and had her sketch pad and artwork with her. She remained hopeful about her recovery and excited about all the things which she wanted to do. We will miss her so very, very much but she will always be in our hearts.I have attached the memorial details we are sharing with family and friends. We will have an area where we will display photos of Pauline, flowers that she so enjoyed, some of her artwork, as well as a display containing emails, letters and copies of posted messages from the message board on the Pauline Collectibles website. Warm regards, Ernst"Pauline will be deeply missed by us all, and never forgotten. . . .Quote for the Day - "Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you; Whatever we were to each other, That we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used, Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well."- Henry Scott Holland
Ginny Christmas Dolls
We were fortunate to get several Vogue Gingerbread Boy and Gingerbread Girl Vintage Ginny Dolls, as we have been informed by the Vogue Doll Company that "For Santa's Reindeer" has already sold out.These two dolls make an adorable pair as each is dressed in a brown gingerbread outfit and holds a miniature metal gingerbread cookie cutter in their hand. Gingerbread Boy wears a holiday red scarf and knit winter's hat, and Gingerbread Girl wears a cute crimped hat.Supplies are very limited so if you are interested, we might suggest that you purchase them in the very near future.Quote for the Day - "Shoot for the moon.

The Origin of the Company Name Beacon's Glow Collectibles
Oftentimes, our customers ask how the name of our company, Beacon's Glow Collectibles, came to be. The owner of our company came up with this company's name when the company was formed back in the Fall of 2003. She has always had a love for lighthouses (in fact, she has her own lighthouse dollhouse that she built several years back that even has a working beacon). The calming and serene feeling that one's gets at nighttime when watching a lighthouse beacon is beyond words. The beacon glow is indeed mesmerizing and yet rather mystical at the same time. Hence, a love for collectibles and a love for lighthouses helped in creating the name "Beacon's Glow Collectibles".Quote for the Day - "The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture." - Publius Ovidius NasoOvid
Boyd's Star Spangled Nick Christmas Set
We were very fortunate to receive in today Boyd's Star Spangled Nick Christmas Sets. If you have never gotten the opportunity to see one of these sets, they stand a full 3 feet tall and are very impressive-looking. Star Spangled Nick comes elaborately dressed in an Americana Santa's outfit, and has an incredible looking face and soft white beard. The image just does not do him justice. This set has been retired by Boyd's so once these are sold, they will no longer be available. He is either holding or surrounded by Boyd's Old Glory Collection bears - Jennie Glorybear, Old Glory Peeker, Ike Glorybear, and Bess. All of these items are now retired but we still have a few left in stock.Additionally, Star Spangled Nick holds a large patriotic star ornament and a distressed wooden cart painted in red, white and blue sits atop the very sturdy base. In addition to Bess, a decorative heart-shaped box is nestled within the wooden cart. A small wooden drum with "USA" written on the front completes this set.This is a must have Christmas decoration that will impress family and friends over the holidays with its impressive size and excellent attention to detail. Truly a collectible that can be passed down for generations.
