When Lisa Yashon at Harmony Ball decided to sell their Harmony Kingdom archives, that was a quick yes from me! This piece comes directly from the manufacturer, and has been checked for damage, arriving in the original box. So glad to have these great pieces back! ~ Jules

Secrets:
The price of fuel has convinced Ed that a roving safari service doesn’t make much business sense. Instead, he has invited his animal pals to relocate to his mini zoo. You can see that more than enough took him up on the offer! To keep costs down, Ed actually encourages visitors to feed them. The animals are lovin it, but it’s not the healthiest of environments. The less-than-perfect circumstances shouldn’t come as a surprise, since Ed’s always been a bit ragtag and hapless. As Peter was carving the llama on this miniature redemption piece, he was reminded of fly fishing (the field next to his fishing lake is full of alpaca). He thus embarked on a fly-fishing carving frenzy, with all of the lid secrets relating to this hobby. Snipe and Purple is his current favorite fly. On his recent 49th birthday, he treated himself to a new rod, the "Gordon 2". "NZ style" is the method he prefers. Within this box figurine are carvings of discarded apple cores and banana skins. At least there aren’t cheeseburger wrappers!
