Hello!

Greetings to everyone! I’ve been watching for a while and thought is was about time that I said Hi. This is my first time in ANY type of online forum so please be paitient with me.

I’m 30 years old, live in Calgary, Canada and am a Stage Manager by Profession though I sometimes do Props and Costumes and even more rarley set painting.

I’ve been collecting Windstones since I had the money to pay for them. I think I was 15 when I got my first one, a peacock hatching dragon. I was already Dragon-mad thanks to Anne McCaffery’s books so the beautiful life-like dragons were just perfect! I new I was hooked when I scraped up the $500 cash and promptley went to buy my Peacock Emperor. I think I was 18 at the time and my parents thought I was nuts, still do. My mum calls them my dust catcher collection. I have all of the Dragons in peacock, a couple of camdle lamps, some limited edition pieces and have recently purchased a PYO Griffin from Helen Ross (Arla, I think) and a black and gem colored PYO Kirin from Watergazer. I can’t wait of them to get here, shelf space is already allotted. 😀 My collection currently stands at 38 pieces and of course like anyone addicted I intend to get more. Unfortunatley I have to rely on ebay and the direct sales page since there is only one store in the city (of 1 million people) that sells Windstones (not a great selection and takes forever to special order) and I don’t drive. Can’t wait for the rest of the Griffin family, those babies are sooo cute. I need to find a black and a tan male griffin too. And of course I’d LOVE a Secret Keeper and one of theose new curly dragons too. Or basicaly any Windstone I can get my hands on.

So that’s my hello and I’ll be around.

Pictures…..hmmmm

I’ll try, but some of my loveliest are still in there boxes in storage. I haven’t had a chance to really get things arranged the way I’d like them since I moved back to town. Yet I keep buying them…..

Oh, I think I saw shelving being discussed in anothe Thread(?) and I use Ikea shelving. Pretty and boy can it take a beating!!

How much further north???

It’s nice to know there are others close by (relitively speaking)with the same addiction
