FIRST ISSUE.

It takes a village ... seaside*collectibles is happy to bring you these very first figurines from Possible Dreams® who manufactured the Dewberry Lane© Collection which was designed exclusively by premier author and illustrator Susan Wheeler. This is an independent collection at Possible Dreams® that is a very special Susan Wheeler creation that is noted for their meticulous detail.

Produced in 1990, this nearly 20 year old collection was available in limited introductory quantities. Sadly, the charming Dewberry Lane© Collection of village buildings and figurines was soon RETIRED from production and unfortunately will not be produced again. And because of their fine heirloom quality, this uncommon collection has proved to be highly collectible and very hard to find.

This wonderfully designed collection has detailed carving and rich colors that is not commonly seen in today's artistry. This set is SIGNED BY THE ARTIST & CREATOR, Susan Wheeler. The signature usually appears at the on the back side of one of the figurines, at the base of the coat or jacket that the figure is wearing.

LENNIE & SAM - two young rabbits, one in a yellow jacket is eager to learn a new song from his teacher, whom is dressed in a green jacket and pointy knit cap. They're planning on singing harmonious songs of praise & joy with the carolers one day. The carolers are ever so popular that entertain & warm the shoppers as they stroll down Dewberry Lane!

About the artist .. Susan Wheeler ..
"Susan Wheeler worked with the Possible Dreams® company as the creator and designer of the Dewberry Lane© Collection in the late 1980's. The Dewberry Lane© Collection was released in 1990 and believed to be part of Wheeler's creative inspiration for her future cast of characters.
Very similar to the Dewberry Lane© Collection, Wheeler is the remarkable artist behind the enchanting world of the well-dressed woodland creatures of Holly Pond Hill® . In her watercolor paintings a joyous world of rabbits and mice emerges - a world filled with love, sunshine and irrepressible good humor. Holly Pond Hill® was born in 1995, along with Victoria Rose Boxwood, the Victorian-style rabbit gentle lady literally thousands have grown to love.

Wheeler's intricate watercolors grace greeting cards, figurines, fabrics, ornaments, and more. Susan resides in Fredericksburg, Texas, where she lives with her husband, Mark, their four children, and their numerous pets and farm animals."
