(2/12/04) Tidbits From Liz, VP of Stuff

Liz told collectors before the last QVC show that Boyds has some special items in honor of Boyds Silver anniversary. The SILVER resin piece will be available in stores before the Jamboree and then the plush SILVER will make its debut at the Jamboree and then will be at your favorite store. The SILVER plush is a brown colored bear and his name is supposed to be Sterling.

She also told collectors that the jewelry that will been shown at the fashion and jewelry show in March is not made by Boyds and it may be a bit flashy and colorful. Liz said that she is working on a line of silver jewelry for collectors that will be Boyds jewelry. She will see all the samples and try to get this line together for us to enjoy!
