Paulinette Collectible Dolls Arrive Just in Time for Christmas at Beacon's Glow Collectibles

At Christmas, doll collectors still account for a big piece of the toy budget. Doll sales added up to $2.8 billion in 2003, while plush animal sales accounted for more than $1.4 billion according to research firm NPD Group.

December 5, 2004 -- Beacon's Glow Collectibles, an online gift and collectibles retail store specializing in dolls, bears & candles, is pleasing doll collectors of all ages by announcing their highly anticipated arrival of the first of the 2005 Paulinette series of collectible dolls.

Avid fans of doll artist Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen will welcome the news that their wait is finally over, as they have been awaiting this moment since June. The first Paulinette porcelain doll, Beatrice, is in stock and ready to ship just in time for Christmas at Beacon's Glow Collectibles. Beatrice is a smaller Paulinette at 6-inches tall, and comes dressed in a baby pink dress edged in delicate lace and wears a matching bonnet (http://www.beaconsglow.com/Item1141x.htm). She is one of a limited edition of 3,000 porcelain dolls and comes attractively packaged in a gift box and a wooden doll stand for display. An adorable blue-eyed sweetheart that would make a wonderful addition to any doll collection.

A second Paulinette, Sydney, who is an 8-inch porcelain doll and comes dressed in Australian attire, will debut in January. The remaining other seven Paulinette porcelain dolls from the 2005 Collection will be introduced at Beacon's Glow Collectibles during the first half of 2005. Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen, the creator of Pauline dolls, has been designing dolls for over 50 years. What once began as a hobby has evolved over the years into a family business. Both of Pauline's sons, Mikkel and Ernst; as well as her daugher, Liesbet, have been deeply involved in the business. Mikkel assists in sculpting faces and Ernst deals with business operations; while Liesbet steps in to design the dolls' exquisite dresses and accessories. Pauline Collectibles is truly a family business.

For many years, Pauline Collectibles has been prestigiously recognized for design excellence and has been nominated thirty-one times by both doll industry standards, Dolls and Doll Reader magazines. It is no surprise that three of Pauline's Paulinettes have received awards or nominations. In 2003, Sarah http://www.beaconsglow.com/Item1148x160.htm) was nominated for a DOTY "Doll of the Year" award by Doll Reader magazine, and Paulinettes Annette and Laura both won awards also. These awards have contributed even further to the popularity of Paulinettes.
