New Stablemate Shelf

 A small post, but I thought it would be fun to share. :)

I found the perfect SM sized shelf at an antique shop the other day! I had to turn it upside down and flip it around to make it work how I needed it to, but I'm really pleased with how it looks. :)

I'm excited that customs from friends (and a Stone Pebble) get the other shelf all to themselves, now! 💜

OOAKS and More!

 Trying to somewhat keep up with news this time~

Look how cute these two test models are! You can never go wrong with a black tobiano. Makes me think about adding a (different) Midnight Tango to my herd, lol.

We also got a sneak peek in the Collector Club Newsletter! Super helpful image, thanks Breyer. Really interested in seeing who it will be, though! :)

We also got a nice look at Horatio, the Deluxe CC Stablemate! My goodness, he is adorable! I can't wait to get mine. 💜

One last note- Breyerfest tickets are now available to purchase! 🎉

2024 Collection Photos

A long awaited post! I accidentally skipped doing last year's photos, oops.

Overview of my whole collection. I'm not including bodies for this post, lol. But, you can kind of see a tub of them in the bottom left corner!

Here we have a closeup of my newest shelf! My beloved SM Croi conga and Scratching Foal conga! At the top, you can also see an *adorable* little crochet croissant (made by Adah of Spotted Dreams Studio)! 

The custom shetland and rearing guy were also painted by her! They were birthday gifts from a couple months back. How sweet of her! 💜

The SCO and Django were painted by some other friends of mine. I need to get something to better display them all!

All of my other Stablemates and Chips. They have really multiplied, lol!

A (hopefully) better shot at my trads! The ISHs are about to overflow! 🤣

If you want to pick out a specific model for me to give some info on in another post, let me know! :)

Tempting!

 More Breyerfest reveals! 👀

- Special Runs - 

The Edge of Glory

Fighter and Survivor

And the suprise!

Luckily for me, I don't need many of the SRs so far! They're all lovely, though.
The surprise model is supposedly going to be a mare, as Breyer keeps referring to it as "she" and "her". I love most of the mare molds, so I might have to try to grab one!

- Limited Editions -

Gascon the Great

Blue Zues

These two guys are super tempting! Blue Zues' coloring is so nice! I love a good minimal tobiano.

Once everyone is revealed, I'll make an information sheet like last year.

Who's your favorite LE or SR? Let me know in the comments! :)

Bunch O' Breyerfest Reveals

 I got pretty behind on these! Y'all have already seen them by now, but here they are- just in case!

--Special Runs--

"Miss Independent"

"Sorry Not Sorry"

"This Is My Fight Song"

--Limited Editions--

"Alan A Days Work"

I'm especially excited for the overo Adonis! He looks great in that color, I think I like it more than his original debut coloring! :)

The spotted mule is absolutely adorable. I've grown a soft spot for this type of pattern. 💜

When will Breyer give us an updated mule mold? I think it's past due at this point! Imagine all of the performance showing possibilities with a new sculpt!
