| The End of David Winter Cottages
From Ensco |
|
|
| |
| An Important Announcement
From Enesco UK |
Date 23rd January 2002
 After what
will have been 6 enjoyable years, David Winter
and Enesco have agreed that the David Winter
Cottage range from Enesco will no longer be
produced from the end of December 2002.
During
22 years David Winter Cottages have been one
of the most successful collectible lines that
our industry has seen. With that in mind it
is intended that 2002 will be a truly memorable
year for David, his collectors and retailers.
There will be a full schedule of new releases,
retail promotions and the 'last ever' David
Winter/Enesco cottage.
David
intends to be in the USA in the autumn and
we are currently finalising our UK plans,
details of both will follow shortly.
David
has, through David Winter Cottages, gained
many enduring friendships around the world,
both with his collectors and dealers. He is
anxious to maintain this friendship. He thanks
all who have either helped or been associated
with him for giving him 22 wonderful years.
He has derived enormous pleasure from producing
David Winter Cottages and from sharing his
enjoyment with so many others.
David may
also explore other avenues in the future as
he is keen to maintain the name of 'David
Winter Cottages', and it is possible that
there may be some products developed in the
future, all be it on a much-reduced scale.
David
can be contacted, both now and in the future
on;
David@davidwintercottages.com
Enesco
will be writing to the members of the David
Winter Guild very soon with details of all
arrangements for 2002.
Although
everyone at Enesco will miss the involvement
with David in the future, we are all committed
to ensuring that this year is a great success.
We hope that collectors, dealers and all who
have a love for David Winter Cottages will
join us in making 2002 the best year ever.

On
a personal note I am not surprised this has happened as
I have observed a steady decline over the years with less
and less shops stocking David's pieces (My closest is
over 20 miles away!). I feel that if there is nobody in
a large city like the one I live in selling them then
the range was doomed to falter eventually.
It will though be interesting
to see what David does next!
Rest assured this web site
will still continue. |
