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"!!

Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show Blanket

Added another one to the mix - you have to love eBay!

Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show Blanket, #2809, $10, Virginia Vecsley, Monroe, CT, 5/2015.

More Blankets!

I have started collecting certain Breyer blankets. Not the run of the mill ones in their regular line (which are nice), but those that commemorate an event, like the Devon Horse Show. Recently, I bought four from Annette Dean (Kentucky) off MH$P.

Clockwise from top left:
National Horse Show Association of America (orange and black), $11
Devon Horse Show and Country Fair (light blue and white), $11
Festival of Champions USET (red, white, and blue), $11
BreyerFest (blue and yellow), $11

They all have the same item number (2801).
