Great find, scenceable! That has been my fantasy to find some Windstones at a garage sale or thrift store! There are people here on this forum that are excellent at repairs! Congrats on your find! 🙂

scenceable wrote:Hey guys! Last summer I bought my first windstones, I had always wanted one but never could really afford them. So I was at my mom’s place and she had just moved so we were wandering about to garage sales looking for furniture. We go to this one place that looks like mostly toys, and the lady selling had a whole bunch of windstones! I ended up buying the dragons she had, 4 of them, for $25. (canadian) Given, they have breaks and issues, but still! The OW’s front feet are really broken, the peacock male’s non display wing has a nasty chip, and the small coiled has a tiny chip on its eyelid. The oriental doesn’t have any issues as far as I can see.
Anyways, just thought I’d share, it was SUCH a cool find, I was dying with excitment. My mom thought I was crazy for buying random chipped up dragon statues, once I explained more she was excited too! 🙂
here’s a photo, its not super amazing but you can see them 😀
WOW….Congrats that was an AMAIZING find, I have always wanted to get a Windstone from a yard sale buut have not had any luck finding any yet…LOL.
Oh I was wondering if you could possibly post a picture of the fairy on the mushroom that you ahve on the helf above the Windstones….. 🙂 I have one that sits on a muchroom that looks very similar to that one and I was wondering if its by the same artist?

I haven’t had luck at yard sales or thrift stores/flea markets yet either lol…
My ivory Inner light candlelamp arrived safely (whew!). My first new Windstone in something like 1 1/2- 2 years yay! It wasn’t new with tag like advertised (fortunately I don’t care about tags and planned on using it anyhow) and was rather poorly packed, but it arrived unscathed. Bigger and more substantial than I expected; it’s really neat! (no pic yet sorry)I just bought a large white wizard for less than $50, shipped and insured. Score! I spoke with the seller and have been assured that she will pack it well. We shall see!
And now I am done buying Windstones for this month. Yep. Done. Doney done done.

That’s what they all say.
Whoo! Wizard arrived this afternoon in one marvelous piece. I had to spend an hour cleaning him with a toothbrush (looked like he hadn’t been dusted in a hundred years, and on top of that it looks like someone tried to stain wood near him and he got the splatter) but now after a good scrub, a few paint touch ups, and a gold pen applied to rubs he looks just great.
Pics when I replace the worthless battery to my worthless camera, and when some of the other new additions arrive.
Congrats all on their new pretties 😀 .
Well, I just received my first Spectral dragon. I had him on layaway and finally paid him off 😀 .
