Dear M.I. Hummel Collectors:
I remember a day when my daughter was very young. She climbed up to the piano, placed her tiny hands on the keys, and was shown how to play a few simple notes. It was her first piano lesson.
I'll never forget the sweet tune she played and the look on her face - a blend of concentration and delight. And I'll never forget my pride in her small accomplishment, which didn't seem small to me!
Introducing the Founder's Collection, a celebration of happy memories
I don't have to tell you that one of the best attributes of
M.I. Hummel figurines is their ability to capture memories. I'm excited to announce a new collection selected by me of my own cherished memories of the happy moments of my life. It's called the Founder's Collection, and we're launching it this year with a special figurine.
First Piano Lesson, chosen in honor of my daughter's first piano lesson.
This is an exquisite mixed media piece - the authentic figurine is hand-made in Germany of earthenware and the grand piano is crafted of fine hardwood.* She is the first
M.I. Hummel figurine in which a girl plays the piano. It's a unique motif with a special appeal for anyone who loves music, or children - and that's just about everyone!
A strictly limited release - reserve by the end of the year
The Founder's Collection will not be mass-produced. This edition is limited only to those collectors who place a pre-paid
order by December 31, 2009. Your
First Piano Lesson figurine will be handcrafted for you at the
M.I. Hummel
factory in Rödental, Germany. The highest level of artistry will be used to lovingly create your fine quality work of art.
You will receive your made-to-order figurine by August, 2010. As a testament to
M.I. Hummel craftmanship, each Founder's Collection figurine will bear my signature and will include a Certificate of Authenticity with my personal statement about the memory that inspired my choice of this figurine.
