S e c r e t s
To look at her, in her summer hat and elegant dress and pearls, you would never have believed that Mrs. Bloomsbury Barton came from humble stock. After the demise of her less fortunate brother Bertie, she inherited his old piano. While she was sentimental enough to keep it, Mrs. B-B would not be caught dead with an upright in the house (over the years she had become a grand sort of girl), so she had it moved downstairs. It is here where the cats take over and the fun begins. At the back of this limited edition box figurine we see the young mice watching a version of the traditional English village entertainment Punch & Judy. Mr. (Mousy) Punch is about to get his come-uppance at the hands (or teeth) of the Crocodile. Inside we see the artist in the guise of the Statue of Liberty, fiddle in hand, holding some air tickets in the other: North Curry > New York > Seattle. This piece was finished just before the family trip to the 2005 HOP convention in Seattle. The best vacation ever, the Lawrences agreed. DL & daughter Rose took their fiddles: the music inside is the first couple of bars of, appropriately enough, the tune Staten Island.

NOTE: Because Harmony Kingdom is handmade, individual box figurines may exhibit slight variations. While the artisans do their best to ensure that Harmony Kingdom boxes look seamless, many pieces do look like two-piece figurines.
Harmony Kingdoms artists often conceal a small motif on the box figurines they carve as a sort of signature. This identifies the piece as being their work and adds to the Secrets of the Kingdom. David Lawrence uses an acorn on most of his box figurines, and Peter Calvesbert uses a mouse. Many collectors enjoy searching for these small, hidden symbols of the artists.
