It's that mid-way through the year time, time to celebrate the final days of summer - and time to anticipate what lies ahead in the autumn and winter of 2006.  For retailers, this is a very busy time as we pack our shelves and walls for the Holiday Shopping season.  Marie Osmond introduces all of us to her Holiday Delights on QVC in a special miniseries on Aug 11, 12, and 13.  And these shows are sure to get everyone thinking about that Magic Holiday Spirit.  Also, since Marie is still celebrating her 15th Anniversary, these shows abound with Anniversary Special Dolls, and Special Pricing.  Of course, Art & Home will be bringing you these wonderful dolls, and as always, honoring QVC's pricing! 

So sit back with the remote, tune in QVC, and let those sugar plums start dancing in your heads... and we'll make sure the Apple Cider is served over ice!!

 

Here are the Art & Home (Mary's) picks from the August and October shows!  I can't wait to see which dolls win your hearts!
 
Marie Osmond August Dolls:
 
Baby Abby  - Art & Home pick!  Has a look like - "Oh, am I darling, or what?  And check out my butterfly?  I RULE!!"
 
Baby Bru - Art & Home pick!  A beautifully executed salute to doll History - and 1st in the series!!
 
Cherubic Chef - Art & Home pick! Oh, what a perfect gift - add the "What's Cooking Tiny Tot" and the "Foods, Friends and Fun Cookbook" and you have the ULTIMATE chef's gift basket!  BON APPETIT!
 
Chrysanthemum BAB - Art & Home pick - really, what's not to love? - the face, the outfit!  My Asian baby girl.  LOVE, LOVE!
 
Crystal Anniversary - Art & Home pick - At 5000, this is a pretty limited edition considering it is Marie's Anniversary Tribute doll.  THIS FACE just slays me! And the wig - and the special Tiara.  AND THAT DRESS!!
 
Heaven's Helper Ornaments - Art & Home pick! PERFECT for gift giving.  These are super concepts in any size.  WELL DONE.  LOVE THEM.
 
Katie Sue Happy Holidays - Art & Home pick! PERFECTION.  She's definitely in the royal color palate - and she reads dark, e.g. evergreen, - but she is PERFECT for that Holiday glamour and elegance that we all love so much.   LOVE HER!
 
Merry Kisses Stocking Boy - Art & Home pick! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  NO BRAINER.  IF I couldn't get one other doll this weekend, I'd get this set.  MERRY CHRISTMAS!
 
Merry Kisses Stocking Girl - see above.  MUST HAVE.
 
Polly Poodle BAB - Art & Home Pick! - Ok, I admit, I am a BAB nut.  I really love this line.  Ok - but did you see her face?  Did you see the outfit? 
 
Sissy - Art & Home pick! To me, this is the SUPER VALUE, BEST DOLL ON A BUDGET FOR THE WEEKEND.  On a budget? Get Sissy and the Stocking dolls.   Sissy's got that FACE! and what a darling outfit.  AMOUR!
 
Witch Hazel BAB - see Polly Poodle Above (THIS IS MY FAVORITE). 
MUST POSSESS.  I know she's not for everyone, but cuddle her? I MUST!
 
What's Cookin tt - See Cherubic Chef above!
 
Tabitha tt - Art & Home pick! What a PERFECT GIFT! and the 1st in the series.  Do you know ANYONE who doesn't love a KAREN SCOTT FAIRY??  PERFECT!
 
Food, Friends and Fun Cookbook - See Cherubic Chef Above!
 

Marie Osmond October Dolls:
 
Adora Belle Holiday 2006 - Art & Home pick!  We will be collecting all the Adora Belle Holiday dolls in the new size.  The embroidery - the whole packaged tied up in a lovely ribbon -   BONJOUR ADORA BELLE HOLIDAY!
 
Baby Donny - Our pick, your pick, everybody's pick - down to the purple shoes! AND he looks just like Donny from the Andy William's show.  There won't be enough "Donny" to go around. 
 
Baby Sonja - An Art & Home pick, not just because she's sculpted by Sonja, although we all know Sonja is EXCEPTIONAL, because she is PERFECTION!  THOSE EYES - that face, - oh, she'll blow you away.
 
Heaven's Helpers Ornaments Set - Art & Home pick! See August above.
 
Sasha - Art & Home pick! If I could have only one doll from the October Shows it would be Sasha.  She is FLAWLESS.  In every way this doll represents the best - the most lovely face, the most beautiful dress - loaded with je ne sais quoi? 500 is NOT enough of Sasha. 
 
Victorian Christmas - Art & Home pick! The pictures of this doll don't begin to do her justice.  If you like tapesty, velvet, lace and Victoriana - and a marvelous sculpt - just order her.  And get out your Dickens Book collection, sit by the fire, sip some hot cider and ENJOY!  She stepped right out of "A CHRISTMAS CAROL!"
 
Wee Bee Friends - and WEE BEE LOVING THIS VIGNETTE.  Art & Home pick! Best friendship gift EVER.  This will grab your heart. 
 
AB Baby tt - Art & Home pick! Now, you have to love the AB BABY SCULPT - and WE DO!  And if you do, you are going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the Tiny Tot.  One of our favorite tots EVER!!
 
Arabelle Fairy tt - Art & Home pick! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? See August Above.
 
Baby Abigail tt - Art & Home pick! We all love her as a Toddler, now we LOVE her as a tot.  This child is a timeless beauty. 
 
Well, those are our picks - we look forwarding to discovering your favorites through your orders and reservations.
 
Marie and Charisma have given us so much to be joyous about as we head toward fall - and then toward the Holidays.  Thanks to Marie and Co., thanks to Charisma, and thanks to all our collectors who give us so much to look forward to - and to get excited about!!
 
HAPPY SHOW DAYS!!
 
Mary
