Just an FYI - Hallmark has released their 1998 Lighthouse Ornament. It is the second one of the Lighthouse Greetings Series. I was able to find 5 at a local shop and I am sure that they are available elsewhere. Very cute...Mr. & Mrs. Claus out front holding a surf board with a pelican on top. In the tower window of the lighthouse, a penguin blowing a horn. I recall that several people were posting earlier this year looking for the 1997 release. Thought they may be interested in the 1998 release.

Picture of the Hallmark ornament is here:

Anybody know where or how one might find and purchase the first ones? I have the last 3 including this years. Didn't know there were earlier ones made. Thanks

You can try Ebay. I've gotten a couple that way. Unfortunately, they are fairly expensive!

Silverfox -

You can try the Party Shop in Warsaw, IN. They are a very large Hallmark dealer, and have an in-store display of every Hallmark ornament ever made! They are also a pretty good sized HL dealer (they had the only Indiana Bill event this year).

They do have the 1998 edition listed , but I didn't find the 1997. Now if its other Hallmark ornaments you are looking for, let me know - I have a large number I would be interested in finding a new home for! (collected for a bunch of years before they got away from Christmas ornaments and went to movie and sports "ornaments".)
