So, 2023 is over. What happened? Lots of things.
- I got a Hartland Lady Jewel, although she's a custom done in acrylics that I plan to strip eventually. Hopefully the original paint is decent.
- Got extremely lucky at an auction and won two vintage Hagen-Renakers, a large Honora and a Laying Fez, at wildly cheap prices. Same auction lots also had a Mortons horse, a knock-off of a HR Crusader with sequin eyes, and assorted other things.
- The big estate sale find was a pair of Art Deco ceramic animals (a gazelle and a ram, or something) and a clear acrylic Manning Modernistic Doe that I almost missed.
- I did Virtual Breyerfest again, and had a friend pick up my SRs while she was there in person. I got Nemea and Scurry, Buggy, two Studebakers (neither were blue), and the SM sets.
For next year, I rejoined the Stablemates and Vintage Clubs. Was going to skip the VC for financial reasons, but they're doing a night light next year and I couldn't resist.
Goals for 2024 include selling off some duplicates, continuing the organization goal, and getting some more photo showing prep done.
