(re)Introduction

Hi everyone! I’m another forum member from Ye Olde Dayes (2007-ish to 2012-ish) slowly making a reappearance in the Windstone world. My username on the old website was Megani-chan; some of you might vaguely remember me.

I had to step away from the forum and collecting in general after college, because I was very much still a foolish youngster learning how to adult properly and the constant temptation of pretty dragons was more than I could bear with a very limited budget. It was right around that time that the grab bags began to appear and it was unreasonably hard to look at all the gorgeous pieces when there was no way I could afford one. It turned out to be a good decision and it kept me financially responsible, but I sure missed collecting and everyone I had gotten acquainted with on the forum.

Then came last month, when I happened to see those beautiful Bantam dragons on Melody’s Facebook and took a swan dive off the wagon to pledge for one. He’ll be my first Windstone that wasn’t a gift in many years, as well as my first “special” piece, and I can’t wait to get him! Now I’m established in my career, have a decent savings account, and am a much better budgeting ninja, so there will be more (responsible, well-planned) additions in the near future.

A bit about me: I work as department staff at my local university, love to write, and enjoy being outdoors. I share my home with two sassy kitty queens and a guinea pig. The guinea pig was an emergency foster for the local shelter right at the start of Indiana’s Covid-19 stay-at-home order. Any idea that it wasn’t going to turn into a formal adoption was a blatant lie to myself…

Anyway, I hope to see everyone around, both old-timers and new faces 🙂

Hi and welcome back! What do you have so far for Windstones or what do you hope to get in the future? I have 4 cats and guinea pig myself! The cast were rescues, 3 from a stray pregnant Siamese cat we took in that had kittens and we kept 3 of them and we had an older cat. I used to have more guinea pigs I rescued too but I found homes for some and had two females left and one just passed away last month which was sad. I’m thinking of getting another one or a bunny to keep the one company that’s left but she seems happy actually not sharing her space now. (She was a lone pig when I got her and I give her lots of attention and let her run around and say hi to the cats sometimes.)

Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

[Megan]

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! I see several names I recognize 🙂

Kim– When I stopped getting new pieces, the count was at 59 — mostly dragons and cats, but a few hoofers, wizards, poads, and miscellaneous sculpts. I’ll post some pics in the collection thread when I have a chance.

I’d like to round out my dragons with some of the new colors and sculpts that have come out in the last few years. The hearth dragon, baby dragon, and hatcher version 2 are new to me. Prismatic spring and pastel rainbow are gorgeous colors. My two little griffin chicks are so old they’re the original wolf color with green eyes; they need some silver wolf parents to adopt them! I’d love to get a standing baby kirin and sitting young oriental dragon to match the families I have. And I would love to paint some of the “new” PYOs. The hippocampus, kitty griff, kitsune, flap cat, foo dogs, and sushi cats were all released when I was off in the void 😀

It’s been so long that I’m not certain what my username is, so making a post here to check it out. BTW my profile image I posted is of a counted cross stitch I did designed by Teresa Wentzler.
