New arrivals!

Good things really do come in small packages! :) I was so excited after almost a week of waiting to get a package from stone on my door step. 

Inside where 2 chip design a horses I ordered roughly 3 months ago. 

First is a Grulla mule
She came with lots of black speaks along her back :(

Then a cutting QH in "limited edition" choclate palomino 
I love her way more then I thought I would!

These two ended up quite cute! They make great editions to my chip herd. Not sure if I'd ever do the DAC/H program again though.

Stone horses factory warehouse sale (May 2014)

Why didn't I go to this last year! I had such a great time visiting the stone factory again. Everyone there is so nice, the models are amazing and of course it's fun getting to see how all the stone models are made. This is my only time of year getting to buy stones so I may have splurged a bit. 
After waiting an hour and a half in the car I could go inside to get a sneak peek of who I wanted. I spotted two DAH ponies and was instantly in love. 
Part of the sale 
You can really see the new Spanish mold (in resin) well at this angle. I love him so far! 
Here's all that I got!
I was able to get both ponies! Yay! Here's Devils food, he's a 2014 DAH. He was sent back so he was only $60. 
Then little john a 2013 DAH who was $68. Same as if I would've designed him my self but I really don't mind, he's too cute. 
This ISH SR from equine affair 2013? I for get his name. Something to do with a waterfall I think? He was $36. 
To finish off the traditional size, this is Royal, the 2013 paint your own test run model. I forget how many he is limited to. I got him for $65, he was usually $90 but you'll find out how I got that deal in the next post ;)

Now to my favorite, chips! 
I've been wanting this set for the longest time.Bermuda and Bahama where the first plastic editions on the mold. I got the set for $25, they originally sold for $100!
 Last but not least is smoldering embers. Don't know much about him really but he was $25 as well.

Prop-Alosa

I've been bad. Real bad. I got several horses at the stone factory warehouse sale, got home and bought more things. I got a beautiful tack room off of someone at my barn. She said her dad made it for her back in the day when she was a kid.           
I got it (plus some horses) for $25. Which for what it is, isn't a bad deal. I've had so much fun adding in my own personal touches to the tack room 
I added a saddle rack, posters, a barn dog, and of course tack.
Then a package arrived this Friday. A huge prop lot I got off of eBay for $40 ppd. The majority of the stuff isn't show able but I'm going to remaking a lot of it as some summer projects. My favorites from the lot where..

This mail box,
(In scale! Yay!) cones,
These lovely flower pots,
This really cool old breyer doll,
And these tires. 


But there's more. I payed this off a LONG time ago so it isn't THAT bad. I ordered a saddle commision from Lisa Merrill around 2 months ago. It just arrived last Monday. 
I can't beleive she was able to do this with a broken arm! I'm thourghly impressed. Thanks so much Lisa! (Don't worry I have a girth for it). No more horses until breyerfest! 


Hopefully...
