BreyerFest Darjeeling!

Since I did not purchase any tickets to BreyerFest (Pat Reed gave me the wristbands from some extra tickets she had bought so Jenny and I got in free), I was not able to purchase any of the BreyerFest models. There were many I wanted, but three in particular were on my "must have" list - Darjeeling, Marigold, and Navya. I love the Semi-Rearing Mustang mold, and I love Breyer clearware, so they were my top priorities.

Since BreyerFest ended, I have been watching pieces on eBay, bidding on several, and hoping to bring these three home for my own collection. Unfortunately, I have been outbid time and time again.

Until last week. I won Darjeeing for under $100!

 Darjeeling, BreyerFest 2017 SR, #711258, $95, 1300 produced, eBay/Jody Purdy, Brick, JJ.
Be still, my heart - he is gorgeous! I am thrilled to have gotten him for a price I feel is fair to the seller and to me.

One down, two more to go! And then there's the cow, the elephant, the Shetland Pony and Dog to find...
