Oh I'd say you did get a bargain for sure!
They are really beautiful and Sooo different too.
I do the same thing on Ebay..shop on holiday weekends and
also during the summer..best time - when no one is around!

Congrats, and enjoy them.

Wow, those are very unusual! I'm happy that you got them! I will need to research what Mikasa-Elegans Collection is. Then I'll know if I ever see some around here...

Oh, those are soo-ooo CUTE! Wonderful addition to your collection...which collection? Oh yah, that collection! LOL! Great find, purplemoon! Jeanne S.

I'm so glad you found them at such a good deal!

Awww.
What a cute find Karen and such a great price to.

p.s.- it's not to late for Christmas, you're just getting a nice early start. LOL

Karen, so happy that you got such a great deal on your Mikasa-Holiday Elegance collection piece. That is just precious. You are the GREAT Collector.

Woo Hoo! Bet you were excited when you found them--and even more so when no one else was bidding against you! Luvs

Luvs, you are so right. I've never seen these, tho there is a small penguin I've been wanting. He's gone too high the few times I saw him. I love penguins and polar bears especially, and the Reindeer of course.

Jeanne, you NUT. But you're right. I've got so dang many collections going I should just lump them all together into ONE... "I Collect Everything". I'm so hopeless.

Party, I don't know for certain if these are from the Holiday Elegance line. It was not in the seller's description. But that line is known for the white with 24 ct gold trim. However there might be copycats. I don't care, as long as they look like this. Especially now I heard that Lenox/Mikasa has stopped making these. :o( Prices will go up, which is good for selling but not for buying. I'm still on the hunt for a few special pieces, but these Penguins were really a bonus find since they are new to me.
Oh...my trio of Angels came today. WOW. They are even more stunning in person than the picture I showed you!! I can hardly wait to put them out next Nov.

For you newer members, here's my collection of "Mikasa", its on pg 4 and 5 of my collecting album.

hugs, Karen

Karen,
So glad you got the penguins. They are beauties. Hope the small one comes up again when nobody's looking but you.

I just went to look at your collection pages again. Man!
I don't think I ever knew you had a collection of Charming Tails. Those are so darn cute. Love them all.

OA, I've been adding to my CT bunnies recently. I just had a couple that I put out for holidays and they are so "charming" that I've decided to part with some of my other rabbit figurines and make room for these. Bonus is they are really small. LOL. During Xmas web browsing, I saw a CT Village and it was great. All the little critters made by CT are so cute but I'm limiting myself to only the bunny. (And the ONE mouse with the police hat, I've had for years, because of my 2 sons.)

Anyone interested in some bunnies, or a couple of rooster things, email me if you are willing to pay shipping.

hugs, Karen

Very nice piece at a fantastic price Karen and a great addition to your collection, but I'm not even thinking about the bargains that may be on eBay!!! LOL If I started doing that I'd need another 2 houses never mind just one more!

Beautiful, Karen..very different!
