Toys for Tots

The Marine Toys for Tots box is now up in the store. Bring in new unwrapped toys and WBCB local radio station will come and collect them to help with the program. Over the 59 years of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, Marines have distributed more than 370 million toys to more than 173 million needy children. This charitable endeavor has made U.S. Marines the unchallenged leaders in looking after needy children at Christmas.

To kick off the program for 2008 at our location, Paul Baroli (the Big Kahuna) and WBCB 1490 AM will be broadcasting from Flowers by Jennie Lynne on Wednesday, Novemeber 26th from 3-5pm. The first person to bring an unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots box during Paul's program will get a free centerpiece for their Thanksgiving table. WBCB has been teamed up with Toys for Tots for 6 years - Flowers by Jennie Lynne has been a drop off point for the past 3 years.

Faith, Trust and a Little Bit of Pixie Dust

We are so very excited here at Jennie Lynne's. Recently Teleflora created a flower arrangement for girls and the "young at heart". They partnered with Walt Disney's release on October 28th 2008 of the new DVD movie Tinker Bell. Tinker Bell has always been a favorite in our house. She represents both the young, playful spirit; and yet she has a streak of naughty that comes out every once in a while. There are even Tinker Bell fan clubs to check out, make your own fairy, travel to Pixie Hollow such as tinksnook.com and tinkfanatic.com

The arrangement is designed in a lavender or pink blush glass cube with a collar of lavender tulle. Hydrangea, lavender roses, lime green button poms and deep purple statice are grouped in the vase. Tinkerbell is a keepsake figurine which comes with a stand for display after you have taken the arrangement apart.

Some other interesting information about the Tinkerbell movie:

* They will premiere the film on the Disney Channel in November.


* If you purchase the Walt Disney Pictures Tinkerbell DVD or BlueRay and the Teleflora Tinkerbell Arrangement you can receive a Rebate from Teleflora. Now that is a win-win situation!

* There is also a weekly DVD Giveaway on Radio Disney.
