Perhaps, if you are a member of the David Winter Cottages
Collectors Guild, you noticed the cryptic messages on the last few mailings you
have received from them.
The first ambiguous mention was on the postcard announcing
the December 2000 retirements, in it they incorporated the following 'teaser'
from David... 'I recently discovered a fascinating story when I was going
through an old chest I'd found', There was also two little illustrations, a
mouse and a rose. Then in the April mailing of 2001 Issue 2 of the Cottage
Country, there was another unmistakable card inviting you to attend the
International Collectibles Exposition at Rosement in the USA, on the reverse of
this card it simply said: 'Rose is calling you'.
What's it all about? Well this is David's way of keeping us
all on our toes and watching our mail boxes for the announcement of the launch
of this fantastic new collection.
Since David first mentioned his 'find'
in his attic and his desire to create a new collection that would illustrate
the story behind this find, the Enesco team was immediately 'hooked' on the
idea and began to endlessly discuss how to introduce this magical story-linked
collection. In these early discussions, David and the team recalled the
numerous conversations and suggestions from collectors saying that they craved
intrigue and suspense. It was soon decided that they would take their time,
adding to the mystery and intrigue of the story and linking it into major
mailings during the end of last year and the beginning of this
year.
The collection comprises of the following six pieces. (Please
also see below for their pictures). On each, there's a hidden golden secret for
you to find. |
