Olaf in Summer….

Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put him in the summer sun and Olaf will be a happy snowman. This Keepsake ornament is sure to delight Disney “Frozen” fans of all ages.

Olaf has gone on a walk and sees the beautiful green grass.

In the Summertime….

In the Summertime is a Hallmark Keepsake Ornament that is Magic and has sound. Press the button on the ornament to hear music from Mungo Jerry’s “In the Summertime.” Summer time brings out all the boats and lazy summer weekend on the lake. What a wonderful time for family and friends to hang out.

With all of the crazy winter weather we have been having here all of the elves are dreaming of the beach! Just the thought of warmer temperatures and playing in the water helps us get though the cold weather and snow. Where is your favorite beach to vacation at?

Minnie has a Ball….

Minnie is all set for a fun day at the beach with her friends. Minnie is dressed in a cute pink bikini with her signature pink bow and matching sandals that have a pink flower on each. The colorful beach ball is a great addition and something fun to play with.

between the toes,
the splashing waves,
a sun-kissed nose,
each memory of
that beach-time fun
will warm a heart
like summer fun!
