Hi all! Thanks for the welcome! (Sorry for the delayed response… I’ve spent the week backing up, reformating, and restoring my computer 🙄 )
For me, I believe my obsession began in high school. I don’t remember if the first Windstone dragon I saw was in one of the fantasy/weaponry/occult stores in a mall, or if my teacher’s dragon came first. The teacher had a beautiful white dragon, lying down (probably the mother dragon?) which she kept on her desk. The mall had at least two or three different dragons, each a different color and pose… and since there were no stores with the dragons in my hometown, I had to satisfy myself with seeing them on rare occasions.
I’ve wanted at least one dragon, plus the circle of cats candle holder, for over 10 years now, and I keep adding to my mental wish list. Sadly, I have yet to buy my first, since money and opportunity to purchase have never quite coincided for me.
