S e c r e t s

In the words of Peter Calvesbert: First a potted history of the "cake toppers." On 30th September, 1995, I was married to the beautiful...hold on, I've got it written down somewhere...Andrea! I commemorated the occasion with a model depicting us on our big day and each of the wedding guests received a specially inscribed version whether they wanted one or not. Every year since I have produced an anniversary piece: paper, cotton, leather, and for year 2000 silk. These models have the added bonus of not only reminding me when our anniversary actually is but they also save me having to buy Andrea a card! This year was complicated by my sister showing me a list of anniversary gifts different from the one I have. Her list showed the fourth year to be books, while mine said silk, so I combined the two and made Andrea and myself into worms...hence silk worms or book worms. The heavy chains show I have sworn "fealty" to the HK corporation and I have no idea where the handcuffs came from - swiftly on. You may also notice a wonderful pair of suckers...displayed up front! Spike the cockateil is still with us and the mouse is nestled snugly between our bellies. One little mistake was that I made too many holes for the hallmarks, so I turned one of them into a smiley face.These "personal" figures are really just a bit of fun, but as we produce a fairly low number of them they could become quite sought after in the future…
