Well, we are almost all moved in to our new house, there’s just a few stray boxes of ‘What do we do with /this/?!’ stuff left. 😀 So since my Windstones seem to have settled into their forever home, I thought I’d show new pictures of my collection.
It’s shrunk a bit, as I’ve been selling off some older pieces to raise money for charity, as well as wanting to simplify my collection and really get it down to my most loved pieces. So here it is! 🙂
(I’m sorry the pictures aren’t that great – my house is quite bright, but my camera doesn’t seem to be able to grab light very well.)
The shelves over my desk, that we moved from the old house. They are right above my desk, so I can look at them.
My mama bear and her three cubs sit in one corner of my desk.
My griffins sit on the other corner of my desk. My copper patina male really looks flashy when the afternoon light comes in through the window, and my test paint mama seems quite pleased with him. XD
My four curlies sit on some book shelves in front of the window in my office.
This corner cabinet is in the living room. It’s a cabinet that my grandfather built for my grandmother years ago, and when he passed away I inherited it. The emerald old warrior is my husband’s.
My two emperors are in a glass fronted china cabinet in the dining room. (The shelf above is dedicated to my grandfather.)
My orientals (well, my amethyst and my husband’s sun dragon) are also in the dining room.
My Poads are in the other half of the dining room china cabinet.
And that’s it! 🙂 (My husband has a few other pieces that he hasn’t unpacked yet, so they’re not photographed.)
They were curious about each other at first….
But I think they’re gonna live together just fine!
And here’s the “Crested Gecko Glamour Shot” 😀
Everyone looks pretty content in their new space! I hope you and your husband are, as well.
Congratulationa again.
Life is beautiful.
Melody’s cat griffins are just amazing!!! I love the serval, leopard and tiger–can’t pick a favorite of the bunch! What gorgeous eye candy. Thanks for sharing!!!
Stephanie, that cabinet your grandfather build is gorgeous! I also love your green emperor. Thanks for sharing.

At this point, I’ve switched favorites–the tiger wins. *grabby hands at Hannah’s new shiny*
Stephanie, love those poads! I really adore them when they’re all together like that.
Well, in my quest to come up with a GB young, I’ve utterly failed. But the babies now have some unplanned, unexpected company. Mama Metallic Palomino #1 has come to keep an eye on them:
I somehow missed how big the mama unis are! Until you see them in perspective with a Windstone you’re familiar with, it’s so hard to tell even looking at the measurements. I can’t even imagine the Grands now. She’s a beauty…but forget sneaking her into the curio–the cabinet’s not THAT big, and she’s going to take up a fair amount of space on the shelf. I may regret not sticking to the “find a GB Young” plan when hubby spots this golden girl. 😉
And buying her meant no cool new male ocelot griffin. The money earmarked for him went to catching her instead. Then again, he probably won’t fit in the cabinet either. LOL
A couple of other new gypsum friends are either en route or already here; it was a bad week for trying to curb my Windstone spending. One of them is a present for a friend though, so at least that one won’t be staying forever, but I’ll get to enjoy him while he’s here anyway. I also finally got my hands on a frog wizard, and again, wow, he was bigger than I expected too. I must have a really poor sense of scale!
Off to go rearrange the cabinet as the newest “houseguest” arrives from Windstone this afternoon for his short term stay. He’s going to find the accommodations a bit crowded…

haha! Shes a pretty girl! 🙂 I’ve been bad with my Windstone habits as well o.o I don’t have to sneak them in, I just have to figure out what I’m going to do with them! lol! I don’t have space for so many new pretties! Yet anyway.. lots of cleaning and reorganizing going to be happening later this week! lol
Can’t wait to see what else you’re getting Jolie! 🙂

Thanks–she is just beautiful. And in the grand scheme of things, hubby won’t really care much; but yeah, other expenses and such mean I need to figure out how to manage this addiction a bit better. Got the cabinet rearranged–if I can ever figure out how to get pics of it that aren’t pure glare, I’ll have to put it up to show just how small it really is. It’s about 2 feet wide by perhaps 5 feet tall & a little over a foot deep. The pic of mama & babies was shot somewhere where I had enough space to spread them out a little. A lap dragon is about as big as you’d want to go “acreage-wise” on a shelf in the curio; the mama uni is the biggest sculpt in there. And the Windstones have to share it with my fossil collection, so it’s definitely getting cramped inside. LOL
UPS arrived with my temporary baby. And let me tell you, that whole “do something about this addiction” thing pretty much went out the window. I’m curlie addicted.
Cupcakes, anyone? 😉
They’re all a little grumpy about being awakened & moved. From left to right: Caden (Melody’s dark copper test #2), Rory (PS’ Tomato Garden test #1), and Ciaran (production Black Gold). All the household curlies have Gaelic based names that fit their descriptions, though Rory’s real mom will probably choose something else to call him eventually.
Rory is our new babysitting client until my friend’s birthday in October. He & Caden share a shelf in the curio for now, surrounded by fossils. I can see them from my desk, and I’m pretty sure they’re arguing like siblings (“My rocks!” “No, MY rocks.” “Don’t you dare cross this line, this is my side of the shelf.” and so on….)
(In case PS sees this–he’s amazing. I just love the red stone, it really does look like a cherry tomato, and pulls the whole color scheme together. Fantastic job!) And yes, I expect it’ll be hard to let him go when the time comes, but by then I’m sure I’ll have found someone else for Caden to argue with. LOL
Meanwhile, I’m also running out of space to store Windstone boxes! Aaarrrggghh…I don’t know how those of you with bigger collections manage this stuff. I have to be so careful where I put the boxes, or hubby tries to recycle them.
In regards to storing fitted boxes, we finally put a plywood floor in the attic over the garage to hold them all. It was getting to be a bit much just sitting on the ceiling drywall and we got tired of trying to crawl from joist to joist.
Anything big enough to need its own shipping box is stored as is (OW, RS, Emp, etc.) The smaller boxes are corralled in the larger windstone shipping boxes. It keeps everything neat and I actually write on the outside what is in that box so if I need to find a specific box, I can. I only save the ones with fitted inserts. For those that are smaller, I save the box and the bag but recycle the wrapping paper. I figure I can replace that later if I need to repack something. I guess it comes from so many years of my collection (not just windstones) living in storage so I want to always be able to box up the dragons and unicorns so anything that comes with a fitted insert, I save the box.
This stunning fellow is the newest addition to my dragons
He is numbered and signed by Melody. I think he is a “FLAME OW”
but the pictures on Ravenheart look nothing like this guy…. He looks like a Violet Flame.

I won the Leopard Male Griffin. I’m very happy with him, he’s even prettier in person and looks lovely with my Sand & Sand Tiger Dragons. I also have the Maltese heading this way soon <3
This collection looks absolutely stunning together!! Lucky you on the Maltese, too! I really love the blue eyes on the griffin (those were the ones I liked best, too) and they go so well with the dragons.

I’m curious what color that sun dragon is, it’s quite stunning!
My newest addition to my collection is the OOAK Tiger Lion Statue!
My boyfriend fronted me the money for this one ^^ I say I’m paying him back, he says don’t worry about it *rolls eyes*
Flash and no Flash pics
Size Comparison, he was MUCH bigger than I was expecting!
His awesome Tiger Lion Fuzzy!
<3
That tiger is amazing!!!! Wow, so much bigger than I thought, too! Thanks for showing a size comparison, it’s very eye-opening to measurements.
