After not being shipped near a week after ordering and arriving a week after ordering, my Lanin form the stablemates club and Heath, the first collector club special run, have finally arrived!! They arrived last Friday, they were delayed a day due to the weather.
Since I was able to order Heath along with my Stablemates Club model, Lanin, may Heath was able to be double boxed whited really seemed to help him. After seeing many flawed Heath models arrive over the past week, mine being double boxed made him minimally flawed. Th only flaw I can find on mine is a small ear rub from the packaging, but its hardly noticeable and almost seems purposely put that I can't complain much. My Lanin does have a bit of a purple color to him, but I'd say mine is more navy blue like in his undertone.
Breyer has been releasing information on their shows and contests this past week, and they have more recently shared the workshops fo this year plus revealing one of the horses from one of the "Tales of Triumph" stories. Here's the work shops so far:
Not too sur eon if I am doing workshops this year yet. I was supposed to last year but something got messed up somewhere so I ended up not being able to. Right now Mosaics and Spookology look nice. Then again, I was supposed to do Mosaics last year, and Spookology is the medallion workshop for this year. Doesn't fit the theme but I do love Halloween, a bit more than Christmas I dare say. The blog states that workshops will be available for signup in March after tickets go on sale this month.
Originally on the Breyerfest blog it was announced that tickets would be on sale next week. That didn't happen and there was little to no announcement about it anywhere. I just happened to see on one of my facebook groups I follow that Breyer is actually a minor admin of and made a small announcement (only viewable to group members) that tickets would be on sale later in the month at some point. Many believe it would be this week as they have released tickets in late February before, but not to where it was cutting it close to the end of the month which it almost looks like it will be doing now. Also no announcement yet if there will or will not be a plush this year, if there is, they usually allow it for preorder through VIP tickets but with no announcement of either no on knows if that will be an option or not.
I also just heard today that fellow hobbyist and blogger, Andrea Gurdon, has sadly passed away over the weekend. I followed her model horse blog, Breyer History Diva, as closely as I could. She was one of the inspirations for me starting a blog. She will be missed.
