Marketplace Score of the Year (probably)

 Back in college (30 years ago), there was a gift store at the mall that carried Windstone Editions, dragons and unicorns and other creatures cast from gypsum.  They're gorgeous, and at the time, out of my budget (still are, in general).  I've been admiring them online for years, and entering the company's raffle every month, but the internet prices, even for pre-owned ones, are high and the shipping is tricky since they're heavy and often fragile. 

Friday, while at Mom & Dad's for a visit, I happened to look at Marketplace for some reason.  The top ad was for a Windstone Unicorn, only 20 miles away, and only $40.  I sent a message, and picked it up the next day. It's a Mother Unicorn, seems to be the original "white" color from the 90s as far as I can tell.  Was purchased in Waikiki and traveled with the owner, who moved a few times and didn't want to risk moving it again.  She's safe in the curio cabinet already, I didn't want to chance that horn getting snagged on something.

A Breyer dream

Had a weird Breyer dream last night. 

I was driving with someone.  We saw a horse in a parking lot, and stopped at a Tractor Supply or some kind of farm store to call Animal Control.  Or something.  The manager was a creep, but we called.  Then I went shopping.  Found a Misty in an opened SM blind bag - huh?? Then found some Dala horses in a glass display case under a table - they were marked with tags from a flea mall at Lake of the Ozarks.  Again, huh??  Found a set with two foals, Classics SRs from JCPenney, but one was a larger SM QH Mare, the old HR version, but Classic-sized.  Then there was a jumping horse on a base, but not the Breyer Jumper, more of a resin-looking horse.  And I was going to ask for a discount on the Dala horses, but forgot for some reason.  

And then I woke up.
