The thing which seems to have been missed most as we have all been forced to reassess our lives is spending time with people we love – friends and family. As we mark exactly a year since the first lock down in the UK, this beautiful piece seeks to epitomise what we have all spent 12 months missing – hugging our friends.
These little pigs were carved as COVID-19 still wreaked worldwide havoc and making us reassess our priorities. But as I write this, hope springs eternal and hopefully vaccinations will make seeing and hugging those we love possible again soon.
The lid lists more things I miss – golf (obviously!), Butty (Bach my ale of choice at our local pub, and coffee (shops and muffins). BC46K is something I missed rather than miss – buying Bitcoin 11 years ago! Chickens are on the model because in the UK, they have also been in lock down since December 14, 2020 due to an avian flu outbreak. Ella is our new border collie puppy (those of you who are long-standing collectors may remember our very special relationship with our first border collie Murphy many years ago), and Edward Hopper is an American artist who has caught my attention recently.
Pick up these little pigs, add them to your collection or gift them to someone to pass on a virtual hug until we can all enjoy the real thing once again.

After nearly 20 years, Noel and Lisa are handing over the Harmony Kingdom reins to the one person who has their complete trust and admiration – Peter Calvesbert. Back in 1990, Peter and Martin started what would become a booming box figurine craze. When they became acquainted with them in 1994, it was Peter's extraordinary talent that inspired them to create Harmony Kingdom. And over two decades, Peter has never once let them down. They will very much miss working with him, but they know that he, and his wife Andrea, will steward the collection with the utmost care and creativity, and they so look forward to seeing the interesting directions they take.
To associate with other like-minded people in small, purposeful groups is for the great majority of men and women a source of profound psychological satisfaction. Exclusiveness will add to the pleasure of being several, but at one; and secrecy will intensify it almost to ecstasy. — Aldous Huxley
Harmony Kingdom's authorized independent clubs aren't secret societies, but they are a source of great pleasure and sometimes even ecstasy for fans of Harmony Kingdom. Each club is organized and run by individual collectors and, as such, are all unique. Yet they do have one thing in common—members are all fascinated by Harmony Kingdom box figurines and enjoy discovering their hidden secrets. In addition to a shared interest in Harmony Kingdom, the clubs are deeply involved in charitable activities and many provide informative newsletters and organize fun social events. Each authorized independent club elects a delegate to the HK House of Peers—the central council that acts as liaison between the independent clubs and Harmony Kingdom.
Please check the listing for the club nearest you. Many clubs accept members from out-of-state and offer long-distance benefits. Or you may decide to form your own independent club. Guidelines for receiving official sanctioning from Harmony Kingdom are listed under Independent Club Guidelines.
Harmony Kingdom's authorized independent clubs are a great way to meet like-minded folks, develop friendship participate in meaningful charitable activities, receive special offers, invitations and pieces, and have some fun. Join today!
