Anticipation!

According to UPS, my Vintage Club "My Girl" should be here tomorrow, along with the Glitterati that I ordered with her.  I'm hoping for alabaster, or bay - the palomino at least in the pictures didn't do anything for me.  Looked more like a chestnut gone wrong.

Moose!


Finally, last month, after lots of eBay searching - I found a Moose at last.  Yay!!

Hobby goals 2016


Goals for 2016

- To at least dip back into photo showing, either online or mail-in.  That requires getting a site for photo work, getting the old PC running so I can have Paint Shop Pro again, and unpacking at least a few horses.

- Dig through the collection and see if there's anything to re-home.

- Work on display options.  I would like/love to have a china cabinet or curio cabinet of some kind, so that the breakable stuff can finally stop living in boxes where I can't see them.


The wish list
  • a HR Kelso
  • Breyer Elk, Antelope, and Bears.  I managed last year to find the Moose, Bighorn Sheep and Dall Sheep, Elephant, and both Jolly Cholly and the brown Bloodhound.
  • Too many more to name
  • The full set of original Love Racehorses.  I have Kelso and Swaps, I think.  Need Terrang, Silky Sullivan, and Man O'War.

Score!! SR Kelso

I lucked into this beauty on eBay this month.  Breyer Classic Kelso, a SR from 1987 for a toy store.  He was part of a set of Triple Crown winners - Kelso being Citation, with Terrang as Count Fleet and Silky Sullivan as Whirlaway.

  He's very dusty, or was until I cleaned him up, but overall is in good shape.  A few little dings here and there, but for his age and rarity, I got a good deal.

Bought on eBay.  Name may refer to "Fortunate Son" (the episode of Enter prise I was watching when he arrived) or to the fact that I' lucky he got here without extra charges (for using a Priority Express box) or damage (he's tippy and fell off the PC while I took this picture).
