Oh! You have a Mambo!!!!! That’s one I would love to have. 🙂
I also collect model horses, Breyers/Peter Stones/Resins. I might post some pics when I get home….I can’t display them all because I don’t have the room, but I try to have some favorites out. They also get rearranged when I go to a show because then not everyone gets unpacked. I should really take some pics of my show table at the next show I go to….it would probably show them better.Model horses are my main obsession, although my collection isn’t huge. I love Breyers, of course, but I also have some Peter Stones, a few customs and resins.
I also have a My Little Pony collection – mostly G1 adult ponies, but also some G3s, G4s and customs I’ve gotten through swaps, etc.
I have most of the “signature” Ever After High dolls, although I stopped buying them when the quality went down…as well as some random Monster High dolls.
And quite a few stuffed animals, mostly Beanie Babies, Pokemon and My Little PonyI don’t have any good pictures of my office – which I call my “toy store” – but I have individual pics of most of my model horses and a few other things on my website: http://ashleyevans28.wixsite.com/dashesndots/model-horse-collection
Love baby kirins, safari poads, mini keepers, and anything BLUE, BLUE, and, oh yes, BLUE.

Thank you! Some of them even bloom every year!
Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"March 8, 2017 at 4:48 am #1521392StormDancer-I love the matched pair[white]Chevals.They are so beautiful!I have to ask,I tried to raise the air plants and failed,twice,.How do you do it?
Every act matters.No matter how small💞
(Wanted......Brimstone Lap)
Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.March 8, 2017 at 6:40 am #1521398StormDancer-I love the matched pair[white]Chevals.They are so beautiful!I have to ask,I tried to raise the air plants and failed,twice,.How do you do it?
Thank you Bodine! I think the matched pair you mention are actually Frosty & Flurry, Breyer web specials. But they were standing next to the Dapple Grey Welsh Cheval and I didn’t want him to look lonely.
For My air plants I keep them in a north window. The ones in glass globes I mist every 4 or 5 days with plain water. The ones set on the wood piece I mist every 2 or 3 days.
Most people say to use rain water on them, but I haul all the water for my house (no water lines within 7 miles of my place) and put it into a cistern so most of the chemicals are evaporated out of it by time it gets used on the plants. I have a friend in the UK who uses rain water and his seem to bloom really well each year.
Then once a month I have a fertilizer for bromeliads that I add to a sink of water (about a quarter of the recommended strength) and I toss all the air plants into that to soak for an hour or so.
If something happens and they go a few extra days without misting, I will just toss em into the sink for a bit to let em get a good drink and they seem to recover quickly.The other thing I suggest is finding a good seller. Buying them from walmart or some other store of that type can be hit n miss, half of them are already dead or so stressed that they probably will be in a week or two.
There are a few good sellers on eBay for them. And a few online nurseries for them as well.Good luck!
Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"March 10, 2017 at 6:52 pm #1521524Thanks to you, Ms. Melody, I now have a lovely collection of gashapon goldfish. This is only part of it.
There are some weird Star Wars fish too, getting them inspired by the gashapons.
I collect dragons in general, although Windstone does spoil you for other makes. I like very few dragons now. I have a couple McFarlanes, and just as few Enchanticas/Dragonsites (a big part of not having more of either is inability to find them and affording them when I can, don’t like either quite as well as Windstones and won’t pay the same for them). There’s one GG Santiago/Enesco one, and a few unknown makes. There are also a very few ‘toy’ ones I like, the Safari water dragon and a family by Schleich.
I also collect/grow orchids.
And have had rock and shell collections, much of which has been lost in moves but I add neat new ones as I can.
Sorry I’ve tried to add photos of a little of it, but Photobucket is a total butt. Will try again when I can.
March 11, 2017 at 12:17 pm #1521548Pipsxlch I really like your fish. I have never seen anything like them.
