A Green Shamrock – The 2009 Goebel Angel Bells
by Administrator on Mar.15, 2009, under Inspirational
NEW! 2009 Goebel Angel Bells feature a lovely little angel holding a green shamrock. Each measures approximately 2 7/8″ high, is made of porcelain, includes the original box, and has never been on display. Four colors are available: red, yellow, light blue and white.
Each year Goebel brings out a new style annual angel bell with a slightly different theme. The 2009 Goebel bell is the 34th introduction in this very popular series. Nearly every year they sell out prior to the Christmas season. So it’s recommended to order them early in the year to avoid missing out.
To make the Goebel bell even more tempting, this year the company actually lowered the price, something that’s never happened. And to top it off, the Alleluia Shop is offering FREE shipping within the USA. Find the new listings on my Goebel eBay Store page. John

What is the Memorial Tear?
by Administrator on Feb.20, 2009, under General, Inspirational
Pendant
The Memorial Tear line of jewelry by artist and creator, Kathy Bernu, is a favorite of many people experiencing the loss of a loved one. The tear drop is to be worn in memory of someone loved. While the rose is a symbol of love that never ends.
Memorial Tear Pin
Here is a quote from Kathy Bernu: “The simple drawing of a rose and a tear captured both my love and loss. For days I considered my drawing and thought of the words, love never dies. I decided to study the passage from 1 Corinthians 13: 8, 13 and learned that love is the one virtue that goes on into eternity. My secret symbol became very consoling, even death could not end love.”
The Memorial Tear is available in several different styles. Most popular are the sterling silver pendant, pewter lapel pin and the lovely sympathy card with a pin attached. The first two come in a burgundy gift box with inspirational card included.
Memorial Tear Card & Pin
Are you in search of just the right gift to give to a friend or family member – one that gently says, “I care, and I’m here for you”? Well, look no further than to the Memorial Tear. Think it’s expensive? Think again – the Memorial Tear line is very affordable.

Welcome to Bloggin’ with Alleluia Shop
by Administrator on Feb.17, 2009, under General, Inspirational, Precious Moments
Greetings one and all! I keep hearing blog, blog, blog. So I figure it’s about time to jump on the band wagon and start my own blog. I plan to primarily focus on the Alleluia Shop, but I’m sure I’ll stray a bit from time to time into other areas of interest as well. Interesting to me for sure, to you I don’t know, but I guess you’ll have to be the judge of that for yourself.
The Alleluia Shop is a family-owned business established in 1981 and located in Bloomington, Minnesota. The business climate has certainly changed dramatically for independent retail stores since that time, but our dedication to service and selection has never changed. There are so many great manufacturers out there producing all kinds of fun and unique gifts, that it’s challenging to know what new product lines to bring on board.
Countless offerings of Precious Moments products have been very significant to the Alleluia Shop since the store began. The popular figurines and giftware accessories are distinguished by tear-drop eyed children and inspirational messages. Another popular line is the Fontanini Heirloom Nativity Collection. This fabulous line of hand-painted Italian figures is a favorite the world over, for about 100 years now! One of the cool things about Fontanini is that you can buy a whole set at once, or buy one piece at a time and custom build your own unique set over a number of years.
In addition to stocking great products, the Alleluia Shop has participated in numerous philanthropic promotions and hosted many special events over the years, including two visits from the Precious Moments artist, Sam Butcher, a visit from a Precious Moments sculptor, Cherished Teddies sculptor, Seraphim Angels artist, Fontanini family members several times and various authors, as well as others.
I won’t bore you with any more talk about the store and product lines, as I’m sure you’ll just want to browse through my eBay store and see it for yourself. Be sure to check the store often, as lots of new listings are added every week. You’ll find brand new releases fresh from the manufacturer, favorites from days gone by, as well as super buys. There’s something for everyone, with more on the way!
Well, I suppose that’s probably enough for a first entry, as I need to finish figuring out how to set up this whole blog thing. Anyway, here goes. I’ll speak with you again in the future. If all goes as planned, that is. John
