Lucky day

(In which it looks like I have the budget for lots of pricey horses.  Which I don't, really.  I just don't buy anything else, and don't remember to blog about the other ones. LOL)

Looks like I'll have a second horse from the America the Beautiful series on the shelf.  I "won" Arcadia when he was released, and now Rialto will join him.

I don't like the word "won" for these things.  We didn't win the horse as a prize, we won the chance to buy one. 

Estate sale hunting

Had some luck at the estate sales today. 

The donkey, according to the sticker, is from a company called Lugenes in Japan.  Both ears and both hind legs have breaks.  One ear is very well mended, the other has a chip missing.  Well worth 50 cents though.

German shephard and puppy are Hagen-Renaker.  Paid $4 each.  GS has his paper, marked with $2.50.  Puppy is missing half his tail. 

Koh-i-noor

Breyer has been hitting us collectors pretty hard lately.  In the past couple of weeks, they've had Tanner, Starlet, and now Koh-i-noor available.  And I'm pretty sure I just saw an email for one of their test-run "opportunities" that I can't afford.

My Koh-i-noor arrived today, and I got the no-socks version I was kind of wanting - would have been happy with any of them, but I prefer masked socks.  Mine has a couple of tiny flaws in the gloss, but nothing to quibble about.  And he even stands without his base, although I'll be getting one for him.
