zorse, she removed them, one whole family of the male, mother and one baby, as they had perhaps the most sentmental value ( and an extra special hand me down for family).. she wanted to keep something and that was it, along with whatever else doesn’t sell. those were the pieces she couldn’t bear to part with. i feel for you, i was eye ballin’ the mom myself, lol, but i wouldn’t want to take a piece that was precious to someone.
I agree. I didn’t see that post. Definitely keep the ones most valuable to you!
In that case… howbout the bad cat candlelamp, and the young pegasus? Are they still available for purchase?
I want the ki-rin mother please!. Can you PM me the condition of the male ki-rin? I want a baby too. Lemme know ASAP!
HOOFERS! YAY! 😀
EDIT: Huh. That’s funny. I coulda swore there was a male and momma ki-rin listed. Did they already sell? Are there no hoofers left? ;_;

Rocks, minerals, geodes and fossils; polished slabs, spheres, animals and pyramids (agate, malachite, etc. and so on)
Russian lacquer boxes and bottle holders
Framed butterfliesOooh! Zuni fetishes! I collect those too! But I only collect horse ones, so I only have 7 of them currently.
I think it’s a given that we are all windstone collectors here at the board… but I know most everyone here collects something in addition to windstones. So, howabout seeing some other collections?
Myself, I collect animal skulls, bones, pelts, antlers, and horns. My room at home has been dubbed the “chapel of death” because my collection has gotten so big! But I do more than that – I take skins, skulls, and mounts that have seen better days and restore them to beautiful condition. I don’t have any pictures of my collection yet, but some of my gems include:
– A taxidermy mule deer head (with a good size 5×5 rack)that I meticulously restored from a rather sorry shape. His ear was tattered, and his fur was really dusty and in need of a good cleaning with a bit of lanolin.
– A huge greater kudu bull skin (over 8′ long!) that I practically stole off ebay for a song, and have since restored it to almost pristine shape after delicately repairing holes in the hide.
– A reindeer skin that was a little dusty, but with a little lanolin and TLC has returned to a state where you couldn’t tell that it wasn’t fresh from a tannery!
– A huge alaskan coyote pelt that was in bad shape with a huge gash in the leather, but with TLC and lanolin also was given a second chance!And as a slight sidenote, if anyone has skulls and bones and pelts that they want to go to a good home, I would be more than happy to buy or trade for them, especially if it’s in need of a little TLC, or just needs a second chance.
And as a second note, I realize my sort of collection is frowned upon in some circles. I would like to add than none of the animals that I have collected were killed by me. A lot of what I have is either found or second hand and would have normally wound up on the trash heap if not for a little TLC. In my opinion, that’s not a fitting or respectful end from something that was once a part of a living animal. Plus, they make excellent references for my wildlife art.
So… howabout some other collections?
Which peagsus, and how much did he want for them? I’m looking for a mother, and a baby pegasus in white.
If you find ki-rins, or a griffin candlelamp please, please, please let me know! I’d do anything for a set of them!

Oh my god… thank you SO much! You have totally made two people’s days… even if one dosn’t know it yet!

Well, a honors thesis does take a lot of time out of my day along with geting ready to graduate from college. But it’s good to be back. We’ll see how long I can hang around for… 🙂
Can someone grab me one please with sugar on top? I don’t want it, but I know one person who would die for one, and I’d love to give it to them as a birthday present! ;_;
