Coach Wizard of Oz Collection at Macys!

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.

Wizard of Oz Ankle Socks

As soon as I get mine and have more info, I'll update, but how adorable are they??????  I had to get them for Toto alone!  

They are available here for $15 plus $5 shipping for US buyers.  The Wizard of Oz socks are also available on the UK and Ireland sites as well.  

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

Miss Mindy Released!!

Gaiety!  Glory!  Glamour!!  

The words used to describe The Wizard of Oz on a lobby card advertising the wonders of Oz can also be just as easily applicable to Miss Mindy's Wizard of Oz collection. 

Photos can not do these figures justice. They must be seen in person to appreciate the artistry and amazing detail.

Miss Mindy's bright color palette and whimsy captures the spirit of The Wizard of Oz perfectly.  

Now here are our beloved characters as imagined by the endearing, enchanting mind of Miss Mindy.

Dorothy is wide eyed awe and innocence with a side of sass.  I LOVE the rainbows in her eyes!!!

Then there's the Wicked Witch in all her beautiful wickedness!! And then some!

You'll want to use caution removing the Wicked Witch from the Styrofoam.  The broom is delicate and I felt some give around the ribbons when I took mine out. 

Lastly, for now, is the mischievous Winged Monkey.  I so hope Miss Mindy does a variety of monkeys with different expressions and poses! 

 Also, use caution handling him as his tail is fragile.

Karen Owens will have these and the new Jim Shore available 

http://wizardofozland.com/miss-mindy-wizard-of-oz-figures-vinyl

Or you can order direct from 

https://worldofmissmindy.com/

or 

https://shop.enesco.com/collections/wizard-of-oz

Miss Mindy figures should be restocked soon.  And if you care to notice, the Jim Shore collection is now in stock.  Minus the ruby slipper ornament.  That could possibly be cancelled. It has been up and removed from the site several times so we'll see. 

I'm very grateful to Enesco for melding the Land of Oz with the World of Miss Mindy.  I simply can not say enough!  Dorothy, the Wicked Witch of the West and Winged Monkey are stunning!!
