We are very excited about our planned new items and sets. We have been able to add two new pieces to our beautiful and popular Christmas Nativity and Christmas Nativity with Stable. These new pieces will be a Christmas Shepherd with Lamb and a Little Lamb. Because of a manufacturers cost increase and the two new figures, the price of the sets will increase.
To add to and improve the beauty and functionality of our very popular Life Size Nativity 54″, we have replaced the original Ox and Donkey with larger and more detailed figures. The Life Size Black Nativity which was well received last year, has been improved by the addition of a Shepherd Boy and the new larger Ox and Donkey. As with many of our imported items, factory cost increases and much higher cost for container shipping across the Pacific have resulted in price increase for these items and others on our website.
The success of our 2010 trial of indoor resin and fabric Nativity figures has prompted us to add a 42in shepherd to the Nativity Pure Charm and Animal set. In addition we will be adding a number of new Nativity, Angel and Christmas figures from the designer Mark Roberts.
