Itasca, IL — Enesco will acquire the Charming Tails brand and some related assets from Fitz and Floyd Inc, Lewisville, TX. Charming Tails is a collection of resin woodland animal figurines created by artist Dean Griff, who has created more than 1,500 designs over the course of its 15-year history. Enesco expects to finalize the sale in May and introduce the Charming Tails line to retailers during the summer gift shows beginning in June. Enesco also plans to provide retailers attending the Atlanta and Dallas Shows with the opportunity to personally meet Dean Griff.

“Enesco is focused on global expansion by developing a strong and sustainable portfolio of brands; Charming Tails and Dean Griff represent the ideal blend of an enduring brand invigorated by Dean’s artistic creativity," said Matt Bousquette, executive chairman of Enesco.

“I am excited about my new relationship with Enesco and the enormous opportunity it offers for the growth of the Charming Tails brand,” said Griff. “I look forward to working with Enesco to bring the quality and heartwarming designs of Charming Tails to new consumers worldwide.”

Charming Tails is the most recent of Enesco's other recently acquired or licensed brands, including Gund, The Boyds Collection, Our Name is Mud, Country Artists, Bob Olszewski’s Gallery of Light, My Soul’s Window and The Potter’s Shed by Michael Macone.

Hello. My name is Deldra Y. Faniel, and I joined the leaf and acorn club back in 2008. In April of this year I purchased the 2009 leaf and acorn exclusive christmas piece 97/147 "Enjoy the glow of the season". I paid fot it with acheck #5065, and it was cashed 04/22/09. I have not received the piece as I was unaware the charming tails line through fitz and floyd had been bought by enesco. I don't feel it is fair that I'm out of $24.00 and the exclusive piece. I want to know if enesco plans on either refunding the money or sending the figurine. I would prefer the figurine. However, if that does not happen, I want a refund. A response on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Deldra Y. Faniel.
