Ornament Show

There don't seem to be very many secondary market shows for Hallmark ornaments anymore. I think it is probably because of the popularity of the internet. Most buying, selling, and trading of ornaments now happens online. Anyway, I received an email today about a secondary market show so I thought I'd share it.

Show for September 13, 2008.
9:00 Am -3:00 PM

Hallmark.com No Longer Selling Ornaments Online

In response to one of the comments: Hallmark.com will no longer be selling gifts, flowers, or ornaments online. It is my understanding that they will post the 2008 Dreambook online for the public to view in early May.

2008 Hallmark Halloween Ornaments

For you fans of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hallmark is issuing a couple ornaments you'll like in their 2008 Halloween ornament line. The first is of the Pumpkin King himself. The other is actually a set of four ornaments featuring Sally, Lock, Shock, and Barrel. You can see pictures of them on here:

I'm sorry that the pictures are small and of poor quality. Until I get my hands on the published paper Dreambook, that's the best quality I can give you.
