'Snow Angel'

Thanks to Sakurako of Japan (Bottega Beanies) for sharing
the following information and photos ....

Hi Deb,
Hope you are well. I went to the main store of Mitsukoshi.....Nihonbashi.
There were so many people who would like to get Snow Angel at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi store.
I thought that maybe.....Mr. Ty Warner comes at there....but of course he was not there! I hope that Mr. Warner comes to Japan in the future....many Japanese collectors hope Mr. Ty comes to Japan. But...I was so happy ! Because I was able to get the 'so cute' Ty Japan and Mitsukoshi exclusive Snow Angel !
Snow Angel is so beautiful and comes with a cute Ty logo box. There was also a BIG surprise at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi store. It was a Big JUMBO Snow Angel. The JUMBO Snow Angels were displayed at only 6 stores from all of Mitsukoshi stores in Japan. They are ... Nihonbashi, Ginza, Ikebukuro, Yokohama, Sendai, and Niigata. The price is 52,500 yen (including tax). If you wish to own one of these JUMBO Snow Angels, you have to enter with an 'application', "drop it in a box" ... "a lottery". I would like to have this JUMBO Snow Angel, but wonder where I would put it in my home! :)
I thought your readers may find the pictures interesting! Enjoy!
Til then,
With my kind regards,
Sakurako
