      I started collecting Windstones about 25 years ago, when I was about 15. I only got six of them then, and then I stopped collecting until 2022.

      Now I’ve spent $60,000 on them (yikes) and I have about 130.

      I like making little displays with them. I started going to rock and gem shows to find rocks to display with with them, and now collecting rocks is one of my favorite hobbies, too.

      Windstone did move from California and is now in Corvallis, Oregon. So I’m not sure if “used to be based in North Hollywood” is enough to count as something that can go in the Times.

          Would it be possible to see a class pic of the winter poads? 🙂

            I got this lovely koi pond poad, but I was hoping for a kelp-y one! I’d be willing to trade this poad or any of the other items (plus cash depending on the item) for the poad pictured on top.

            I’m also interested in the other two poads pictured (and will consider others) if the first one is forever homed.

            Trade items:
            -GB garden adult poad (2024)
            -GB fantasy laying ponycorn (2023)
            -GB sitting qi-lin (2023)
            -GB tadpoad
            -Jade scratching dragon (has some damage)
            -Black gold male dragon

                “Parti Gras Mermaid Lemonaid, Parti Gras Mojito, Parti Gras Sangria” is currently in second place with 19% of the votes, but it’s trailing pretty far behind the current winner, “Fairy Dream, Forest Dream, Pixie Dream.”

                I thought of “jester” right away when I saw the green and white uni, so my vote was for “Jester Glow, Jester Lime, Jester Fire,” but that only has 4%. The names I pick never win. 😄

                      This is a question I’ve actually thought about before. My solar eclipse secret keeper cost $5k. In the event of a fire, the only thing I’m doing (I don’t have pets) is tossing all the other windstones off that fur and grabbing it and the SK (so I can safely set it down outside without dinging it). XD

                          Ah, I see now. It was originally listed on 9/19/23, so that’s why I’m not seeing it at the top. ty!

                            Any idea why this guy isn’t coming up for me when I search “Windstone” on eBay? I have the search parameters set to “all categories.”

                            It comes up if I search for “tadpoad,” but not for “Windstone.” 🤔

                              Yes, you only get a USPS tracking number if you pay with PayPal, because PayPal sends an email out with it. 🙂
