Another new Hallmark ornament series for 2010

A new series for 2010 is the Windows of Faith series.  The first ornament in the series, Glad Tidings, was designed by Keepsake Artist Tom Best.  This ornament features a light clip that accomodates a standard mini-sized bulb so you can really make it appear as stained glass.  I'm hoping that the picture doesn't do this ornament justice and it will be prettier than it appears.  I suspect displaying it backlight with the mini bulb will make all the difference.

New Series for 2010: Star Trek Legends

One of the new ornament series Hallmark is introducing for 2010 is Star Trek Legends.  This series will feature characters from the original Star Trek television show that debuted in the 1960s.  The figures will be a bit larger and more detailed than the Hallmark Keepsake Magic ornaments issued in prior years.  According to "For Keeps" (the newsletter of the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Club), "they will also feature action poses than will work together to tell a story as they are displayed on the tree."


 The first ornament in the series will be Captain Kirk, sculpted by Keepsake Artist Anita Marra Rogers.

The Keepsake Artist named for this ornament is Cullen Brown.  I don't recognize that name.  Is this a new artist at Hallmark?

The Jetsons 2010 Hallmark Ornament

Here's a couple more 2010 Hallmark ornaments. First, we have Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons TV show. It is a Hallmark Keepsake Magic ornament, so it will be fun to see what the "magic" is--probably lights and sound.



The next sneak peek is for the Merry Mixer ornament by Nello Williams.  Won't this look cute with the Holiday Perks coffee maker ornament from last year?



Just in call you missed the 2009 Holiday Perks ornament, it is still available from Christmas Past Hallmark Ornaments.

Baby's 1st Christmas ornament: Hallmark is reissuing the popular porcelain booties ornament that was one of the 2009 Baby's First Christmas ornaments. It appears this ornament will be available in 2011 also, as it comes with interchangeable charms for 2010 and 2011. You can see a picture of it on the Christmas Past website in the 2010 Hallmark Ornaments category. What do you think of Hallmark's reissuing ornaments from prior years?

2010 Hallmark KOC Members Ornaments

Are you getting anxious to see the 2010 Hallmark Ornament Dreambook? I know I am. The latest word from Hallmark is that the 2010 Dreambook will be mailed out to members of the Hallmark Ornament Keepsake Ornament Collectors Club in April and will be available in stores in May. I really miss the old days when we got to see the Dreambook in February.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to have a peak at some of the 2010 ornaments, so here are some of the ornaments that will be issued exclusively to KOC Members:

Branching Out In Style by Linda Sickman:



Christmas Window #8 by Nina Aube:



A Tree For Three by Anita Marra Rogers:



Frosty Fun Decade Repaint by Tammy Haddix:



If any of the above ornaments are must-haves for you, there is plenty of time to join the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Collectors Club for 2010. I'll be back in a few days to post pictures of the ornaments KOC members will be able to purchase during the 2010 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament events.
