New Wizard of Oz Coach items are on Macy.com.  These are different than the outlet collection last year and they are priced accordingly.   I don't know if this is exclusive to Macy's or if more will be added to the line or if there will be more at the Coach Outlets this year.  Holiday season is approaching and it looks like we'll have to keep our eyes peeled!  Do a Wizard of Oz search on Macys.com to see what is currently available.

Cousin DIY Bracelet Kits


I was really pleased with the quality of the keychains.  One goes with me on my backpack to work every day and takes a bit of a beating but still looks great!!!  I'm expecting no less for their new bangle bracelet kits.  I'm so absolutely in love with them!!!  I had no idea what they looked like until they were in my hands and I gasped loudly when I opened the package.  No such thing as too much Oz jewelry!  The charms are a nice thickness and very pretty.  Dorothy was hard for me to capture on camera as that bracelet has a lot of shine!  I'm working on getting more info but I hope we'll see more characters for the bracelets and other Oz product from Cousin DIY.   Right now the only new items are the Dorothy and Glinda bracelets which will be available on Cousin DIY site where you can use my code and Amazon.  They do keep trying for store placement so fingers crossed because Oz should be on retailers' shelves!!!

They are moderately priced at $15.00 each and there's a coupon code for my blog readers for 25% off on all Wizard of Oz products. 

Enter SHARON25 for your Oz savings!!
Shipping is free in the continental United States.

Big thanks to Cousin DIY!!! I love my bracelets and I'm certain other Oz fans will too!

Jim Shore Released!!


The eagerly anticipated new Jim Shore line is finally making it's way to collectors.  Shown below are updated company photos and piece names.  

Adventure to the Emerald City
#6005078



The Beautiful Land of Oz
#6005081


The Gift of Ruby Slippers
#6005080

So far I only own the Carved by Heart piece but I'm hoping that will be rectified very soon.  My yellow shelves were bought specifically for the new Jim Shore and Miss Mindy.






The 80th anniversary balloon ornament and the ruby slippers seem to be less available than the figurines. No idea what that's about but something to keep in mind if you want those pieces. 

Jim Shore and Miss Mindy can be ordered from Oz retailer extraordinaire Karen Owens


Wizard of Oz 4K October 29th


Check with your favorite retailer but the mass market 4Ks seem to be priced anywhere from $19.96 to $24.99.  Unfortunately, there are no new extras. But fans new to Oz or that haven't bought any DVD/Blu Ray editions from the past 5 years should be pleased. 





Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook
$29.99



UK fans can by this Wizard of Oz Limited Edition Anniversary Collection
