Secrets:  Every year and a half, the collector organization – The House of Peers – hosts a multi-day convention. Their upcoming June convention is being held in Chicago, home of House of Lords (HOL) dealer Fin-Alley Gifts. As in years past, the local HOL is offered a special variation as a thank you for their help in organizing the convention. Proprietor Ann Schmidt chose "Cold Comfort" as her variation piece, in keeping with the convention's Fire & Ice theme. Created in an edition size of 75, variations include a sombrero atop the bear's head, a saxophone, and Ann's famous pink lemonade concoction inside.
