In existence for more than 11 years, the Stray family has worked side by side in their family business. Mother Betty and daughter Jamie Stray develop the new products and designs, and are both artists by nature. Father Jim, along with son Brad, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As is popular with many manufacturers this holiday season, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bearington&lt;/span&gt; has designed their bears in classic Christmas reds and greens. It is their intention to exude a feeling of days gone by with their creations this holiday season and they have certainly met their goal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quote of the Day - "Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate." - Margaret &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Cho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29893172-6322230518902452929?l=www.beaconsglow.com%2Fftp%2Fblog%2Fblogger.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/6322230518902452929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29893172&amp;postID=6322230518902452929' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/6322230518902452929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/6322230518902452929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/2009/11/bearington-bears-family-affair.html' title='Bearington Bears - A Family Affair'/><author><name>beaconsglow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04477957869142507158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14361890581379532897'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893172.post-3095058305414798342</id><published>2009-11-14T21:24:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-14T21:36:23.495-06:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Holiday Forecast</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It looks like the economy is starting to turn around as things are looking up for the 2009 Holiday Shopping Season.  According to the National Retail Federation (&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;NRF&lt;/span&gt;) they are projecting holiday retail industry sales to decline only one percent this year to $437.6 billion.  Incidentally, the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;NRF&lt;/span&gt; defines "holiday sales" as retail industry sales in the months of November and December.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;While this number fails significantly below the ten-year average of 3.39 percent holiday season growth, the decline is not expected to be as dramatic as last year's 3.4 percent drop in holiday retail sales nor as severe as the 3.0 percent decline in annual retail industry sales expected for all of 2009.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In addition, we have heard that many individuals this holiday season are leaning towards holiday items that return to things that offer comfort and reflect memories.  Popular Christmas themes and colors are Christmas red, greens and golds this holiday season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quote of the Day - "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." - Patrick Henry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29893172-3095058305414798342?l=www.beaconsglow.com%2Fftp%2Fblog%2Fblogger.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/3095058305414798342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29893172&amp;postID=3095058305414798342' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/3095058305414798342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/3095058305414798342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/2009/11/2009-holiday-forecast.html' title='2009 Holiday Forecast'/><author><name>beaconsglow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04477957869142507158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14361890581379532897'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893172.post-4437448704842672279</id><published>2009-11-12T20:13:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T20:44:17.038-06:00</updated><title type='text'>New Thinkin of Ya Bearstones by Boyds Bears</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/boyds-bears/thinkin-of-ya.html?id=688&amp;amp;showAll=true"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 256px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/uploaded_images/4015183[1]-735954.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/boyds-bears/thinkin-of-ya.html?id=688&amp;amp;showAll=true"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Boyds&lt;/span&gt; Bears&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; has always been famous for their intricately designed resin &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bearstone&lt;/span&gt; figurines, and have recently introduced a new &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bearstone&lt;/span&gt; Collection.

For those of you who watched Marie Osmond on &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;QVC&lt;/span&gt; on October 26&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, many incredible new dolls were debuted. We here at Beacons Glow Collectibles have received in at least one of each of these dolls that was presented during the show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;These include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Rosemary &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bru&lt;/span&gt; (Mary &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Benner&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Chloe (Sonja &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bryer&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Baby Abigail Blessing Day (Sonja &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bryer&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Harmony What Child is This?

This is due to the fact that Charisma Brands is acquiring additional doll manufacturers and therefore, are getting better pricing on their doll production. Just recently, Charisma Brands (Marie Osmond is part owner by the way) has acquired Adora Dolls. We expect that these dolls will be offered to retailers in the beginning of 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quote of the Day - "People fail forward to success." - May Kay Ash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29893172-4679338441222672029?l=www.beaconsglow.com%2Fftp%2Fblog%2Fblogger.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/4679338441222672029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29893172&amp;postID=4679338441222672029' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/4679338441222672029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/4679338441222672029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/2009/11/marie-osmond-dolls-october-2009.html' title='Marie Osmond Dolls October 2009 Collection'/><author><name>beaconsglow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04477957869142507158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14361890581379532897'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893172.post-1464207523770105281</id><published>2009-11-03T09:55:00.008-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-04T11:22:07.333-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Fall 2009 Charlie Bears Collection</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/charlie-bears/charlie-bears-collectable-teddies.html?id=690&amp;amp;showAll=true"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 225px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 283px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/uploaded_images/Manfred-710736.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We received in 15 new &lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/charlie-bears/charlie-bears-collectable-teddies.html?id=690&amp;amp;showAll=true"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Charlie Bears&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from their Fall 2009 Collection, and as is usually the case, they are very, very nice teddy bears.

Baby Tiny who comes dressed in layers of pastel pink tulle and crystal-embellished floral accents. She has been sculpted by Karen Scott for Marie Osmond Dolls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;2. Scarlet is dressed in a scarlet red dress with white &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;faux&lt;/span&gt; pearls and coordinated hair bow. She truly looks like she could easily become a Christmas holiday doll to display during the holidays. Scarlet was sculpted by Kathy Smith.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;3.

Incidentally, Mimi’s dress was inspired by Marie’s love of Paris and she is as petite and beautiful as her name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;4. Harmony - What Child is This is a musical doll costumed in a black embroidered chiffon with scalloped edging over a deep red and blue iridescent taffeta and coordinated headband. She plays "What Child is This" and was sculpted by Karen Scott. Harmony will be the third in the Harmony doll series. (She is pictured above).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As usual, we will match &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;QVC&lt;/span&gt; pricing on all of these incredible Marie Osmond Dolls. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quote of the Day - "Education is when you read the fine print.

It seems that this individual was responsible for selling a doll collection after their partner had passed away.  It was very frustrating because all of the doll boxes had been saved with each respective certificate of authenticity inside, but the doll could not be matched up with the box.  This was because there was no name on the doll itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We always recommend that both doll and bear collectors save the original boxes when possible but we would like to add this &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;individual's&lt;/span&gt; very helpful suggestion.  Either photograph or print out an image of the doll or bear before putting their box into storage.  This will mitigate any issues in the future with finding the right doll or bear for the right box.

One theory dates back to 1893 when polar explorer Admiral Robert Peary was living in Greenland at the time. During this period of time, his newborn daughter Marie was called Ah-poo-Mic-kaninny, meaning "snowbaby" by the Eskimos, due to her snow-white skin. The second theory traces Snow Babies to sometime in the late 19th century Germany when "sugar dolls" were a favorite confectionery decoration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Several snow baby collectors are familiar with antique German snowbabies or Japanese snowbabies. Snowbabies figurines date back to the very early 1900’s. Right around the beginning of 1905, German artisans carefully painted each snowbabie by hand. Japan also began to produce snowbabies just before World War II, but they were of a lesser quality than those made in Germany. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Today the very popular Snowbabies by Department 56 are in high demand by collectors. Kristi Jensen Pierro, designer of Snowbabies, has been drawing Snowbabies for the past 22 years. She gets her inspiration for these whimsical characters from the activities of small children. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Manufactured by Department 56, these charming porcelain bisque collectibles have been meticulously crafted with hand-painted faces and hand-applied frosty bisque crystals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quote of the Day - "One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things." - Henry Miller&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29893172-230668843148969144?l=www.beaconsglow.com%2Fftp%2Fblog%2Fblogger.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/230668843148969144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29893172&amp;postID=230668843148969144' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/230668843148969144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/230668843148969144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/2009/09/history-of-snowbabies.html' title='A History of Snowbabies'/><author><name>beaconsglow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04477957869142507158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14361890581379532897'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893172.post-2933346147824961471</id><published>2009-09-02T20:28:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-02T20:41:47.605-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Snowbabies Have Arrived!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/uploaded_images/snowbabies-baby-shower-744421.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 230px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 243px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/uploaded_images/snowbabies-baby-shower-744411.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Beacons Glow Collectibles is now an authorized retailer of &lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/snowbabies.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Snowbabies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Department 56. These very popular bisque porcelain figurines convey an endearing personality to the sweet simplicity of childhood, and are just adorable. These charming Snowbabies have been meticulously crafted with hand-painted faces and hand-applied frosty bisque crystals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Designer of Snowbabies by Department 56, Kristi Jensen Pierro, has been drawing Snowbabies for the past 22 years. The creation of a Snowbabie includes making a draft sketch which is transformed into an actual illustration. Kristi then makes a scale drawing to include each aspect of a Snowbabie - side, top, and bottom. And, of course, she then adds little touches along the way that ultimately makes each Snowbabie collectible irresistible – whether it be a waterglobe, a figurine, an ornament or a musical piece. Currently Kristi is Executive Director of Product Design and Department 56 artist. Kristi gets her inspiration for these incredibly whimsical figurines from her life experiences, photos and stories. Her Snowbabies creations have always reflected the activities of small children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quote of the Day - "I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be." - Whoopi Goldberg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29893172-2933346147824961471?l=www.beaconsglow.com%2Fftp%2Fblog%2Fblogger.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/2933346147824961471/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29893172&amp;postID=2933346147824961471' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/2933346147824961471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29893172/posts/default/2933346147824961471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.beaconsglow.com/ftp/blog/2009/09/snowbabies-have-arrived.html' title='Snowbabies Have Arrived!'/><author><name>beaconsglow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04477957869142507158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14361890581379532897'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893172.post-7161173857054324935</id><published>2009-08-24T11:02:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-24T11:17:22.974-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Additional Markdowns Taken on several Marie Osmond Dolls</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We were lucky enough to catch Marie Osmond of &lt;a href="http://www.beaconsglow.com/marie-osmond-dolls.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Marie Osmond Dolls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on QVC early this morning.
