Black Horse Ranch Meme

Heather Wells, who is in charge of dispersing the Black Horse Ranch collection, put this meme up today.

I thought it was cool, so I snagged it and am posting it here.

And MORE Blankets!

I have all of the past blankets I'd wanted now that these two arrived in today's mail.

Vintage Club #3 2015 - Running Stallion

Gold charm as been my least favorite decorator color ever since the gold charm Secretariats were produced. So, when it was announced that offering #3 from the Vintage Collectors Club would be a decorator, I hoped I would not get one in gold charm.

And then I saw a picture of one on Model Horse Blab and changed my mind. Good thing, too, because mine is a gold charm! And I LOVE it!!

Sailor, #712143, 3rd offering in 2015 Vintage Collectors Club, $135, 125 pieces made in each of four decorator colors. (This is gold charm.)

Isn't She Lovely!

Sheryl Leisure finished repairing my Old Mold Proud Arab Mare that I bought for only $5 earlier this year, and she looks terrific!

I left her sitting in Countryside Antiques for a year because of that chipped ear. Then, when I discovered Sheryl did repairs at a reasonable price AND was highly recommended, I bought her the next time I was there.

Broken left ear prior to repair.

 And after repair.

 I also asked Sheryl to repair the paint on her tail and hooves.

Post- repair work.

Such a pretty girl, and worth the $35 I spent to have her fixed!

Another Breyer Boxer!

My Breyer Boxer collection has grown to five (including the clock I found last fall.) The last three have been real oldies from the earliest days of production.

Yesterday I went to the Rensselaer Antique Mall at exit 215 from I-65 and this was the first thing I saw when I entered the building:

 Breyer Boxer #66, 1954 - 1973, $15, Rennselaer Antique Mall, 6/13/2015.

 He's only got a few rubs and a couple of marks, but is in great shape for his age. Plus, the price certainly was good!

He still sports his original snap-on vinyl collar, too.

For all that I do NOT collect dogs, I am thinking I need to rename this blog to something like "Lynn's Animal Rescue"!!
