Frankincense, Black Friday Special

Rarely do I check my non-school email at school; even rarer do I act on what I see and surf over to Breyer to buy a pony! But I did just that a few weeks ago. As a Collectors Club member, I checked my email and discovered that, not only did I have early access to their Black Friday sales, but that they had Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh up for sale!

I snagged one before they were sold out and received Frankincense in the mail a few days later. (Photo credit to Identify Your Breyer.)

Frankincense, #712207, $95, 350 made (per color), 2016 Christmas Day horse, 11/2017, web special.

I was pleased because I like his color, but also because I consider it a blessing. The Christmas Day horses are just that - offered only on Christmas Day. I was able to get an Ivy two years ago (the first offering) as we did not have a houseful and I had some free time to check Breyer's web site. But last year (2016), we had a full house with five of our six kids here, and I made a conscious decision that I would not let myself be distracted from the holiday and my family so I that could buy another horse. My laptop stayed shut and I missed out on buying this piece. (I had no regrets about that decision.)

So, to have an opportunity to get one nearly a year later seems like a bonus and a blessing to me, and I happily add Frankincense to my herd!
