Heartwood Creek by Jim Shore is one of America’s highest sought after collectibles on the market today, with well over 100,000 collectors searching the internet for Jim Shore figurines and collectibles on a monthly basis. Despite his tremendous accomplishments as an artist Jim maintains his humble disposition while attributing his success to the lessons learned from his artistic parents and grandmother.
Over the years Jim has been able to partner his skills as an artist with global business leaders to add value and international recognition to his Jim Shore product line. In 2000 he entered a licensing agreement with Enesco; several years later in 2005 he partnered with Disney increasing his popularity and value yet again. The latest partnership arrangement brings Jim together with Department 56 for their Williamsburg product line. Watch for its release in the fall of 2010.
Painted Ponies collectibles grew out of a public art project in Santa Fe New Mexico which enlisted local artists to paint life size horses in the design of their choice. The completed sculptures were then auctioned and proceeds given to nonprofit organizations. Today the legacy continues as The Trail of Painted Ponies blazes new trails in the world of collectibles. Each Painted Ponies figurine pays tribute to the beauty and majesty of the horse and is a premier collectible among collectors.
When you purchase a collectible from the Painted Ponies collection you are supporting the arts, education, animals and the environment. To date The Trail of Painted Ponies has raised over $1,000,000 to support various non-profit organizations.
In April of 2009 The Trail of Painted Ponies was rated among the top 10 Mens Gifts by Giftbeat magazine. In July of 2009 Painted Ponies followed this award with a second place rating in the Animal Gift category by Giftbeat magazine. Judging from the lineup of talented artists this kind of success is sure to continue for many years to come.
Snowbabies collectibles have withstood the test of time by consistently maintaining value and demand for almost 20 years. This adorable and ever popular Snowbabies collection by Department 56 brings lifelike personality to the simplicity of childhood romps.
Snowbabies artist Kristi Jensen Pierro is the inspiration behind this line of adorable collectibles. While the original inspiration for this collection comes from the arctic quest of American explorer Admiral Robert Peary who reached the North Pole in 1909. Kristi says her ideas for Snowbabies are drawn from her own childhood experiences while playing in the snow.
Be sure to watch for new introductions to the Snowbabies line up in every village for 2010 plus some brand new interpretations of Grinch, Peanuts, Rudolph and The Christmas Story.
