- To My Fellow Ferret Fanatics:
-
- Just thought that I'd pass along information on some beautiful
- ferret/ermine figurines my wife and I found over Christmas.
-
- We were shopping up in Boulder, CO and found the figures at a shop
- called THE MOLE HOLE (they have several stores, although I don't know
- whether they're just in Colorado or are national). The figures are made
- of porcelain and are from Russia. They are each white. The first shows
- a ferret (well, it's probably an ermine since it came from Russia, but
- close enough for us) standing on its hind legs in the 'classic' pose. The
- second is more interesting: the ferret is running on all fours with an
- egg in its mouth, looking over its shoulder at somebody (no doubt an angry
- farmer) chasing it. Each figure is about 6" - 7" in 'length' (one is vertical,
- the other is horizontal).
-
- We paid $30 each for these gems, and I think they're well worth it. They
- now have a prominent location in our display case of ferret memorabilia. If
- you DO find these items, be aware that they're coming from Russia so there's
- not a lot of guarantees as to whether or not you'll see them again.....

- "...Men will awake presently and be Men again, and colour and laughter and
- splendid living will return to a grey civilization. But that will only come
- true because a few Men will believe in it, and fight for it, and fight in its
- name against everything that sneers and snarls at that ideal..."
