I just wanted to post a link to pics from my Corvallis visit. These are from the house, factory, and museum. We were invited over for dinner (thank you so much John and Miss Melody), and I got to meet the family. The kids came over (they are lovely, talented, and sweet… totally adorable), and I got to meet Susie and her son, John (who Irelyn fell in love with.) Learned that Susie was John’s sister, which I can’t recall ever hearing before… If I knew that, I forgot it at some point. The place was great, with lots of animals and things to look at. Fun and homey. The following day we were allowed to tour the factory, which contained a treasure trove of goodies. There’s a discard cart of damaged or unperfect pieces used as test paints and Melody gifted Irelyn with a PYO Kirin and plugged some pink eyes and a horn in it for her. Justin got a young dragon… I think that was a perfect choice and so very nice of them. After the factory, we went to the Carousel Museum in Albany at their recommendation and I am glad we did. That place was amazing! Ended up spending money on things I had not planned on, so that was fun. Def want to go back there or shop a little on line. Thanks for that! It was awesome!! Hope you all enjoy the pics and thank you again Miss Melody, John, Susie, and kids for making this all happen. I hope you got the “Thank You” gift I had sent… it should’ve arrived Monday! Love you guys!!!

GOOD GRIEF! We just got home and there was a HEAVY box by the front door! Thank you so much for all the goodies!!
Glad it got there and I hope everyone finds something they like. It was the least I could do after the great time you and yours showed us!
Agreed. I got to see the salmon color in person and I dug it!. Pink, but not all pink. Wish the riser would have waited till I have a home, but I think i’ll still toss my bid in there.
I actually landed in Korea yesterday. just got some time to load pics from the visit but I apparently can’t edit my title, so I may just go post them in the General Windstone forum. We didn’t make it to Texas… we were more North than that, but it would’ve been cool to meet you! The Windstone Family had nothing but good things to say about you. How much did you pay em?? LOL Just kidding 🙂
I’ve had newspaper, price tags, and packing paper all stick and I’ve found water and a Qtip to successfully remove it. It’d prob work for a hang tag, too, but your tag would be toast.
Mos def, Nam!! I love that story!! I saw some peices I’ll def be going for should they come up on EBay!! Hopefully they can still root for me;)
I hope you work something out with the advocate. Now isnt the time to keep the boys from going to school where they want… When they’re so close to 18! I hope it works out:(
The windstone family and factory were both AMAZING!!! I did take pics and I got the fever to build up my collection again. I had a blast! Thank you John, Melody, Susie, Chessie, John, and Griff for dinner and taking the time out to entertain us! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are so happy to have finally met you.
