Awwwwww.
By the way, I love your horse. Her color reminds me a bit of my best pony friend when I was a teenager. I'm attaching a picture of Snickers, and I think you'll see some similarity. Their heads are a bit alike, too, although that's not obvious in this photo.

I'll let you know when they arrive and even send you a picture of them on one of my models (or two. Or twelve. Or... :D)

Thanks for letting me use the picture - I've written the blog entry and just posted it. You are welcome to cross-post. Do I need to change the reference to my dad's pony, Oh Boy, so that it makes sense? I can easily do that (or feel free to cut out that part yourself.)
Have fun at the donkey rescue. My current horse, Abby, is a rescue as is our dog, Millie. Needless to say, I have to be very careful around rescue places as I always seem to come home with something. :D
Take care!
Lynn

Hi Lynn,The money arrived safe and sound, and the bells are on their way to you via First Class mail. Thanks for such a fun (and EASY) order.You are welcome to use the picture on your blog. I'd love to cross-post your sleighbell story on mine. Depending on when you write it up, I might even use it tomorrow. I'm going to a donkey rescue with some of my barn buddies in the morning, and I think my afternoon will be spent editing photos!Thanks again!Jennifer

Subject: Re: Ordering?THANK YOU!! I am so excited!Medium traditional sized is fine. As for the other things...Ideally, I'd love to have a replica of my set. Realistically, I know that may not be possible. :D And honestly, I am okay with whatever you make - truly I am not picky.So, in the ideal category: brown/tan leather with silver bells and no buckles. (Mine tie.) I am attaching two photos of the tie ends. (I have never used mine on my horses so I don't know how they are supposed to be used on a horse. Maybe tied to the harness somehow? I bought them at a tack shop in the 1990s and have always kept them in the house by the piano.)Realistically, any color of leather (except pink) is great, and buckles are fine, as are gold or silver bells.As for neck or belly, I've always thought mine were for the neck. (I can tell you that they wrapped nicely around our black Lab's neck when we went caroling with him to the neighbors. :D)I can PayPal you the money whenever you need it, or do a deposit if you wish. Just let me know how much and where to send it. Or, if there is anything else I need to take care.Again, thank you SO MUCH for taking my order. It means a lot to me to have these made.Best,LynnPictures are below (I haven't really looked closely at my bells for a while - need to get some leather oil on them!)<securedownload-1.jpeg><securedownload-2.jpeg><securedownload.jpeg>On Jan 12, 2014, at 5:10 PM,braymere@comcast.net wrote:Hi Lynn,I'm not really taking orders right now, but this is such a *small* order, plus the jingle bells are still sitting on my desk... I would be happy to make them for you!Are you looking to recreate your full scale bells, or do you want something similar to the bells I made for Tiffany and Danielle? Those were strung on a piece of leather that buckled together at the ends. I have gold bells and black, brown, tan, pink and natural leather on hand. I *may* have some silver bells, but I would have to check. I can make the strap long enough to go around a horse's belly or short enough to circle their neck. Just let me know, and also let me know which model you have in mind if it's not medium traditional scale.I can't give a definite quote without knowing all the specifics, but this shouldn't cost more than $20.~Jennifer

Subject: Ordering?Hi, Jennifer,I was wondering if you are accepting new orders. I am interested in a traditional sized set of sleighbells.I am in no rush - this is simply for personal pleasure and not live showing. I have real sleighbells for my live horse, and have wanted some for my collection for some time now. (Attached is a picture of them.) My grandchildren like to play them when we play "Jungle Bells" on the piano. :DI can PayPal the money or send a check, whichever you prefer if your books are open and you are accepting orders. I can also provide references.Thanks much.Lynn Isenbarger
