May Your Faith Light The Way - figurine

Believe it or not, it’s already time for the 2009 Precious Moments annual dated figurine and ornaments to make an appearance in stores. As you can see, this year’s design features a darling young lady that’s sure to put a smile on your face. Even the title, “May Your Faith Light The Way,” conveys an encouraging message for all. Taken straight from the Precious Moments figurine gift box, here is a lovely description of what she’s all about:

May Your Faith Light The Way - ornament

Like a candle shining brightly on a winter’s evening, faith can light the way even through the darkest of times. As she steps lightly through the night, this young lady’s candle ensures she doesn’t stumble. It gives her the confidence to step forward, just as her unwavering faith gives her the courage to face each new day with certainty, love and forgiveness in her heart.

May Your Faith Light The Way - ornament with base

Now available for purchase with FREE SHIPPING within the USA are three gift items featuring the same sweet artwork. First, there’s the full-size figurine. Second, there’s a smaller version of the same made into an ornament. Finally, there’s the larger ball ornament which comes with a base for displaying on a shelf. Whichever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Go ahead, buy one for yourself, and another to give as a thoughtful gift. – John

From their first smile to their first job, a mother’s children are always in the forefront of her mind. Through her tender guidance, she shows them what a beautiful world they live in. For Mother’s Day, or any day for that matter, a gift from the Precious Moments collection uniquely celebrates a mother’s love.

Delicate design elements are highlighted in this year’s Mother’s Day figurine introductions. Petite, hand-formed three petal flowers and a card to Mom are set in a contemporary palette of green, yellow and purple. The wording on the card signifies that the gifts are specifically for Mom, but not necessarily only appropriate for Mother’s Day gift giving.

The charming figurine featuring a daughter presenting her mother with a colorful floral bouquet is entitled “Mom, Your Love Is My Greatest Gift”. The other two darling new additions are both entitled “Mom, Your Love Makes Me Blossom”. All three are available for purchase in the Alleluia Shop’s eBay store, along with numerous other meaningful Precious Moments possibilities. Take a look for yourself today. John

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
