Peacock Music Box, How fun!

I've always loved the colors in a peacock. This is really a cute gold plated music box in the shape of a peacock. The company that makes this music boxes make a lot of different animals and they are nicely done. Many are available in the gold plated or in chrome, so you can match your decor or your finish preference. The company also makes a variety of other music boxes for you to choose from. If you like the styles, they also make ornaments, sun catchers and other items in the same designs.

Darth Vader Snow globe

Darth Vader Snow globe Look deep into the eyes of this intergalactic warlord to witness an epic battle scene! What a great gift idea! Especially to someone who loves Star Wars. It's pretty cool as a snow globe too. Although at first glance, I'm sure the words snow globe will not be what comes to mind. Why is it that we sometimes like the bad guys as well as the good guys? This is the first Darth Vader Snow Globe I've ever seen.

31 Day Grandfather Clock with Beveled Glass

While Grandfather clocks are not something that you will probably collect a lot of. If you are a collector, you will want to have at least one. This is a very nice one that you might want to consider. It is not your every day grandfather clock. This 31-day clock stands majestically at almost 7' tall and is beautifully crafted in wood with beveled glass door and sides. The polished pendulum regulates the time and is adjustable for pinpoint accuracy. The chimes sound the hour (5 times at 5:00 clock, etc.) and once on the half hour. Comes with winding key and instruction booklet. Total measurement is 22-1/4" x 82-1/2" x 10-1/4".

Chantilly Lane Animated - `Smellvin` Skunk sings `Love Stinks`

I love Chantilly Lane collectibles. I normally go for the bears, but I just could not resist this skunk. They call him Smellvin the Skunk. He shows his spunk with a red t-shirt that reads, "Love Stinks!" He certainly has the attitude to go with it! Head sways, mouth moves, & tail sways while singing, "Love Stinks". Uses three AA batteries (included, but not guaranteed). There is also a plastic tab that needs to be removed in order to activate the toy. Most of these animated plush toys have recordings between one to two minutes. Superior sound and material quality. Has On/Off switch. One of those fun collectibles to add you your collection.
