Last May I posted information about the creation of the new Harmony Kingdom Collectors Club that includes the benefits of receiving updated news and special offers. Of course, as a Harmony Kingdom collector and retailer, I joined. In May, club members who asked to receive information on “Exclusive Harmony Kingdom Opportunities”, received an announcement for the first exclusive opportunity to purchase “The Odd Couple” box figurine, featuring an otter and turtle in sweet embrace. Within each piece, there is a special little marbledust fish trinket. Why is it there? Know one really knows, but it certainly adds to the oddity of the carving!
This adorable box figurine, carved by Monique Baldwin, was produced in England’s Wimberley Mills with an edition of only 150. The two that I ordered arrived last Saturday and they are wonderful - the expression on the turtles face is priceless! I will be keeping one for my personal collection and I will offer the other for sale sometime in the future here on What's New at Dezign Zoo. Some of these pieces will undoubtably turn up on ebay (actually a couple already have) but if you would like to own one and aren't lucky enough to obtain one elsewhere, you might want to follow my blog for another chance.
