Garage Sale Finds

I rarely find things at yard sales or flea markets, but I don't get to a lot of those lately, which skews my results. My mom did find these three for me last weekend, though. Just $8 for all three.






All three are Trad-scale or a bit larger. The black is ceramic, I think from one of the paint-your-own-whatsit places. I've got one very similar in another color. The other two I'm not sure about. No identifying marks on them that I've found, although I've seen similar horses at the local hardware store (in the gift section).

New horses

I did some shopping on a road trip Friday, and came home with two of the Treasure Hunt horses for this year. I got very lucky and found the Rose Grey that's so hard to find. I also came home with a second Dun Sabino, because I couldn't remember if the one I already had was metallic and slightly glossy. Which he was, so now I have two. Sigh

I ordered the Pinto and Appy from Cassie, so as soon as they get here (this week) I can send off for my Pegasus. Yay.

Pictures to come.

New horses

I haven't bought a lot lately, but I did pick up these two little guys at Orscheln's last month.



Schleich Percheron stallion



Schleich Przwalski (and I'm sure I mangled the spelling).

I like Schleich horses for the most part. They're not the high-end Breyers and Stones, but you can get most of them for $5 or less, and they're not that bad to look at. (You want horses that make you flinch, go look at the Papo brand of toy horse.) They're made of rubber, so you don't want to leave them somewhere hot. I found that out the hard way - my tolting Icelandic mare is a bit tipsy after she sat on the stereo for a while and one leg warped. Ooops.
