Frog of the Day
It's been a quiet Sunday morning, doing all the usual relaxing Sunday things. Was a little disappointed that NPR had a guest host for their morning show. Now it's time to clip coupons and get ready to go shopping. The weather here is a little chilly today but the 5-day forecast has two days with 60's listed! Oh happy days - the frogs will be hopping for sure.
This great collectible is from Boyds Bears & Friends as part of their Wee Folkstones - Ribbit & Co. line from 1998. It is called "Charles Dunkleberger, Prince of Tales ... Kiss Me Quick." It is listed as style #36700. This is a limited edition piece. Mine is Edition 2E, piece number 9215. Boyds has made some wonderful frogs - it's too bad they stopped.
From the Box:
... as distinguished denizens of The Wee Folkstone Realm, the handsome Frogs (now there's and oxymoron) are quite "Princely" ... not your Run-of-the-Pond Amphibians. They're really quite dignified, yet casually dressed ... the better to pursue Life's Finest Pleasures ... such as Fishin', Kissin', and Eatin' (though not necessarily in that order) ... and to remind us that despite Appearances, many a Frog is really a Prince. Charles Dunkleberger, Prince of Tales ... Kiss Me Quick! Whattadeal ... kisses marked down to free! Is this guy Desperate for a Date??? (maybe he's kissed one too many frogs himself ... like the rest of us ... and is despairing of ever finding Ms. Right.) Despite his royal Crown and Cape he's having a hard time attracting Kissers ... Princesses or otherwise ... but Hope still springs eternal (or at least for another five minutes) ... don't miss the Bargain on kisses from a Real Prince!
