In 2002 Pipka's Merry Mice of Cranberry Lane made their debut
at the base of a figure called Santa's List.
Unknown to Santa, the mice lived in the stump on which he rested.
Their little village is called Merry, and Christmas is their favorite time of year.
As you view the Merry Mice on this page and the next, pay special attention
to their tails. The tails are made of pewter for strength and durability. The
figures themselves are heavier than many of the resin figures in other lines.
Company representatives have said that production will be limited to only
a few new pieces each year.

Santa's List 9" 13953 - 2002 - available only to Pipka Collector's Club members

Mouse House - front and back views - 9" high - 40015 - 2002

The Merry Mice of Cranberry Lane live at the edge of a forest near a cranberry bog.
Many families live and work in this happy little village of Merry.
None is known more than Ollie Chester's family, that lives in the old tree stamp
at the end of the lane. See their house above.
Ollie, wife Emma, and children Billy and Pip, run the Cranberry Cider Mill.
The Chesters have found that Merry is a wonderful place to raise a family and establish a home.

Santa Mouse 3.5" 40016 - 2002 Emma 4.5" 40017 - 2002

Santa Mouse can also be found at the North Pole working alongside Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, Santa Mouse visits the cranberry bogs throughout the land, delivering wishes for good girls and boys. He knows the children of Cranberry Lane have been exceptionally good this year, so Santa Mouse is planning a special gift for all of them.
Mama Emma finds her days filled with household chores and time spent at the mill, doing her share to keep both home and business secure. At the mill, Emma works in the kitchen developing new items for the mill to produce. A recent new cider flavor she is perfecting has a hint of mint, combined with the cranberry flavors. Emma is known for her decorating flair, and there is no better time to decorate than Christmas.

Billy 2" high 40018 - 2002 Sam the Mailmouse 3.5" 40020 - 2002

Billy Chester's favorite winter activity is sledding. When Billy isn't in school or doing his chores around the house, he is sledding down Bog Hill with his friends Terry, Cliff, and Leo. Like most boys, Billy loves the thrill of speed and racing with his friends. Sam has been a friend to all of Cranberry Lane, bringing them letters and packages from family and friends throughout the area surrounding the cranberry bogs. The children look forward to his visit each day, knowing he is carrying nibs of cranberry candy, a favorite treat for all of them.

Mabel and Millie 3.5" 40021 - 2002 Ollie & Pip 4" 40022- 2002

Mabel and Millie are neighbors to the Chester family. These two young ladies are close friends. When they are not spending time babysitting and assisting the elderly, they have fun just talking and being girls. They like to dream of the future and the opportunities that lie ahead. Papa Ollie is the third generation of the Chester family to run the cider mill. He is also a community leader. Even though he is busy with all his activities, he still loves spending time with his children. Among his favorite activities is reading "A Visit from St. Nick" to his son Pip.
