My Horse Collection...or Most of It
(Please be patient while the photos download...there's a whole
passle of 'em!)
|
Yes, we'll start with the FAS collection! Most Breyers, of course, with a bunch of great Hong Kong copies (large and small), a brass one, a ceramic one, flocked ones, fake stone ones, bejeweled ones, bloated ones, even fake weather vane ones. |
|
The Matte Palomino ones (for the most part). My, but they're bright! |
|
And a view of the rest of the beauties. Yeah, there's Bloaty 2nd from the bottom shelf. |
|
A few artist resins, Artisan Hall horses, and other special Stones on a salvaged bookcase in the front room (it fell out of the back of a pickup truck outside my house, hey, waste not, want not!) |
|
And more Artist Resins and some chinas (oooh, is that a contraband fake resin ISH on the top shelf? Naw...of course not!) (and how come my Christmas Cactus is in full bloom in OCTOBER? That's kind of worrisome!) |
|
One of the small wall shelves I have, stuffed full of all sorts of intriguing little creatures of china, metal, wood, blown glass, plastic, rubber, ivory, and who knows what else |
|
The inside of my antique secretary desk...Breyers, Leftons, couple Chevals, Melbawares, lots of Hagen Renakers, a couple old Julips, and even spaghetti poodles! |
|
Moving into the spare room, here's a wall-mounted shelf over the door, loaded down with Breyer Grazing Mares, QH Geldings, Jumpers and Clydesdale Mares...all rather sturdy models...otherwise I found if you slammed the door too hard, models would come raining down on you! |
|
And next to the door, some more shelves, carrying Hartland Polo Ponies, Breyer Prancers, Silvers, and other Misc. critters. |
|
And next to that, an ugly black vinyl rack, but hey, at this point, anything will work. A large selection of Breyer Dapples on the top, then into misc. Breyers, more Misc. Breyers. |
|
Moving into the bedroom, my Hartland Regal Series QHs and Arabians, up by the ceiling. |
|
More shelves in the bedroom, pretty self-explainatory. My brother made the adorable wall-mounted display shelf, and I do have a few left for sale if anyone is interested (wink wink nudge nudge) |
|
Moving back into the living room, another wall display shelf of misc. mini models, and a portion of my vintage Napcoware Dimensional Plaque collection (I'm always looking for more of these, if anyone has any, hint hint wink wink nudge nudge say no more) |
|
The top half of my curio cabinet fullof Hagen Renakers, Beswicks, and a couple Breyer porcelains. The bottom half is behind the love seat I'm afraid...it's the safest place for it, trust me, in a house with a Dalmatian in it! |
|
ISHs!!! |
|
And the wild horses all grouped together |
|
Do you get the feeling most my wall space is up by the ceiling? A conga line of Stone Arabians and Morgans (and another shelf made by my brother) |
|
One reason I bought this house was because of the open divider between the kitchen and the living room...just perfect for my display case! More Artist Resins, and my budgie collection as well! |
|
And the little ones, on a wall in the living room. Not all of them by any means, but a good chunk! |
|
And more Stones...Thoroughbreds, weanlings, performance horses, trotting Drafters, Western Pleasure Horses, Standing Drafters... |
|
Back in my office, the Lady Phase shelf...and a hint of the Star Wars collection (most of which is packed away, to make room for...HORSES!) |
And last but not least....
|
The Main Shelves! Another reason I fell in love with this house...the huge blank wall in the rec room, just crying out for 64 square feet of model horse shelving!! Thanks for stopping by for a visit...there's plenty more, I just need to get more pix! |
