New Years Goals - Not Resolutions

Just wanted to post a bit on this last day of 2009. So many things have happened and changed for so many in the course of a year. And while everyone is feeling a bit of a crunch, maybe some more than others, I wanted to look at the bright side of 2009.

Think of all that we have learned in the past year, each one of us. Then we should ask ourselves how will we use that in 2010 to be better. Can you be a better planner, a better person, a better painter, or a better Collector? Whatever the case may be there is something that each of us can learn from the past year.

I do believe that we then have the responsibility to take what we learn and apply it - use it for not only our own betterment, but also for those around us. Whether it is your neighbor, your community, your family or even your animals or hobby, it is there to be used. So instead of making New Years resolutions that focus on problems, lets make New Years Goals that will make a positive impact on us and our world. Everyone has a lesson they have learned in 2009, how will you use yours to improve 2010?

Happy New Year & Decade Everyone!!

New Breyer Models Causing Stress!!

I can't believe I did that! I mean really, I just about emptied my one account to get this done! And I have NO guarantee of a return!! But oh those colors on the new Breyer Models are just... well... I just couldn't say "no"!

Okay, so here is what I did. I have been searching for the newest "secret" releases, of course once they are announced they are no longer a secret right? Yea, okay you got me. But I want to share the information with you on the newest models. So I've been looking. And looking.

Well today I get an email from a great store I have been buying from for several years. And low and behold, guess what? They have in their email the announcement of the newest models up for Pre-Oder!! Of course I had to check it out! And oh my, I do think Breyer is stepping up their game with this coming year.

Maybe you have seen the new "Pink Ribbon Horse" listed on eBay as a "pre-order". This is a VERY nice decorator done on the Andalusian Mold. Breyer will donate $1.00 from the sale of this Model to two Breast Cancer research organizations. Oh this one was very tempting; I put it on my wish list....

The next is "Espirit". I'm sure you've seen this one advertised on eBay as well as a pre-order. This is a brand new mold done by Kathleen Moody for the 2010 Alltech FEI Equestrian Games and boy is he nice as well! Great action and spirit shown on this new mold. I put this one on my wish list as well....

Then I found another one that I will talk about later. I found what I had been looking for - :-D the New 2010 Treasure Hunt Series!! Yeah!!! I am sooo excited about this release because they are using one of my very favorite molds "Othello"!!! This year is focused on the different seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. You purchase Spring, Summer, and Fall and Winter will be a surprise.... And oh they are simply beautiful. Hah, so I ordered 2 sets! Yea, I know....

And to make up for that huge investment.... I will be listing a LOT of my models on eBay in our store. Some that have been on Breyer Horse Collectors like my Alborozo, never thought I would sell him, and a few other Vintage Breyers I've been collecting. That's okay though, I'm going to need the room for these big ones!

Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas! And if you don't get the model you were looking for, let me know, gulp, I might just have it.
