Night Crow-wasn’t there a batch of cat leaf sconces in a fall theme a long time ago? Like around 2009-2011? Maybe I’m thinking of the Grimalkin but I have a fuzzy memory of an autumn leaf cat sconce
I love the Celestial Sunset! O.O so gorgeous!! Wish I could have gotten that rising spectral, emperor and lap..and… and.. lol
lol Melody, I’m glad you’re alive! I’ve had dealers tell me that story too-or that Windstone had gone out of buisness. I’m like “uh, NO, they are all alive and well!”
My fiance found a sitting cat candle lamp in perfect condition at Goodwill for $3 🙂Wow! Thank you everyone for the insight. I’ve noticed with My Little Ponies (my first collecting obsession) summer was slow because everyone was outside, enjoying life and in the winter, sales were better because it was cold outside so everyone was inside in front of their computers. It seems this way with the housing market too. We intentionally waited until mid August to even begin the process because everyone with kids wants to get moved before school starts. My fiance and I don’t have kids, so it’s all the same to us! 🙂 I recently went back and looked at all the pieces Windstone has sold recently just to see what I’ve missed. OMG! You’re not kidding…that “new growth” griffin family looks an aweful lot like the “Emerald Tabby Tiger” male griffin I have…and paid over $500 for. I don’t think I could even sell him, emotionally, but when I saw how low the members of that family were going for, that cemented it lol In Houston the economy sucks because we are driven by oil and gas and the oil and gas industry has had MASSIVE lay offs and firings in the last year. My fiance is a welder at an oil company and he has taken a 50% pay cut X_X His company is a big one and they have gotten so strict on the rules, hoping someone will trip, fall, and they will have a legit excuse to fire them. “Oh, you clocked in 1 minute late. That’s a write up.” I’m not even kidding. Gas is $2.69 for premium (that’s what I use, I don’t pay attention to regular gas prices) but regular gas is probably around $1.90 or $2.10/gallon and it’s fantastic to fill up for less than $50 BUT everyone is suffering because of it. :-\ Well, there are some things I can take a hit on but I couldn’t let a $400 piece go for less than $200 so I’ve been trying to find more pieces from my collection to sell; in a way “well if no one likes THAT one, maybe THIS one” sort of thing. I’ve been packing up my collection lately, but if I can find my Crake male griffin and silver mother dragon, they’re next on the chopping block…or mayybe my Kiwi lap dragon 🙁
Anyway, let’s all hope this recession picks up!Nothing personal, but you should email John about these. These are rip offs of the scratching dragon

IDK if the person replied because there’s no record of me sending the message an I don’t see an “outbox” sort of thing.
Snow kirins? 😀 or something similar. Some wintery blue ones would be dreamy! I’ve been trying to stay away from ebay BUT I seem to remember a color that was done recently-Dreamscape. How hard would that be to paint on kirins?
I’ll probably end up going back eventually for the other (if it’s not sold) but for the first I’m really torn. Ruby is also in a glass case but rainbow is sitting out on a shelf…getting a bit dusty and I imagine it has for a few years. Think paying 20$ extra for dust is worth it? I’m not sure how hard it would be to clean ether. Ahhhh collecting is a crazy thing!
Thanks in advance for any pointers 🙂Yes, what they said! The rainbow is a fabulous deal. Both are really, if the red one is the red fire. I paid $600 for my Red Fire emperor a year or two ago and that was the best deal I’d seen since the color was retired. Other people were asking $1000-$1400 (although I don’t know if they were actually getting those prices)
The griffins-the one on the left is Copper Patina, the one on the right is “wolf” version 2. (The first version was brown and had green eyes)
