What a horrible year to sell my Newsworthys!

 Gah! Just when I thought it was safe to sell my Newsworthy conga, Breyer goes and comes out with THIS! 

He's this year's fall decorator! Now I'm kicking myself for selling off my Newsworthys. That color is beautiful! Guess I get to hope they use it again in the near future. 

We also get this pretty girl! She's this year's brick-and-mortar special run. Her color is nice, though she is somewhat similar to Chesapeake. She's really similar to Acadia and Cardinal, too. Hopefully I can pick one up at the KHP when they come in. 

In other news, my Spoopy Spooky Stablemates order came in! I only ordered one, because I'm pretty over the blind bags. Here's what I got! 

That's right, the mini Ratsputin, when I was hoping to get the mini Salem. I'm working on trading him, though, so all isn't lost! Hopefully I'll have an update on that later. 

Lastly, the new Collector Club special run, Antonia, will be available to purchase tomorrow at 1PM EST! Woohoo! 

I'm excited to get this pretty girl into my collection. I wonder if she'll arrive in time for my next live show on the 28th? I hope so! 

Let's hope I have more to post about coming up - dare I hope today's reveals mean our long summer of no news is over? 

Leif is here!

 Good news, readers! My Leif is here - behold: 

My apologies for cutting off the tops of his ears - whoops. In my defense, I saw it had happened and took another photo, but that one ended up being slightly out of focus and I don't feel like going upstairs to take another one. Oh well.

What a handsome boy! I like the green highlights on his hooves and the tip of his tail, and he also has a pinkish interference on his mane and tail. 

I'm not crazy about the tips of his ears (slightly smushed) but he's not too bad otherwise. 

He looks good on the shelf with my other Vermeers, too. Speaking of shelves - I finally got the rest of my models unpacked! My husband had to build three more shelves for me (for a total of seven), but everyone is now on a shelf! And nothing got broken, although I had another bubble wrap casualty - one of my (matte) G3 Friesians wound up with paint damage from the bubbles, which is...weird, but whatever. As soon as I get the giant pile of bubble wrap cleaned up I'll try to get some photos! It's nice to see them all back on the shelves along with all the models I've bought in the last year.
