Venturing Out

After having had my second shot of Moderna this week, I took a deep breath and ventured out into the community. It felt terrific!

Teacher Daughter Lisa and I went poking around for collectibles - me for HSOs (horse shaped objects) and she for Moon and Stars glassware and vintage Christmas ornaments.

There was a surprising amount of Breyers to be found.

While I have come across Breyers in the past,

usually I don't find so many at once.

But Breyers weren't the only thing on the shelves.

There were a large number of Hartlands,

especially the horse and rider sets.

I do collect Harlands but I am also beginning to think about downsizing some of my collection.

Still, these sets were nice and most were reasonably priced.

There were several Marx Thunderbolts available (I have developed a fondness for that big boy),

Melbaware,

metal horses and clocks (recognize that imitation Breyer QH Yearling?),

and lots and lots of horse themed items.

Lisa found a large amount of the Moon and Stars glassware, some priced to sell, others that made you put them VERY CAREFULLY back on the shelf and walk away.

Aside from curbside pick up at JoAnn's, a couple of quick runs into Walgreen's (while wearing not only a mask but gloves, too), and the barn, it had been a year since I'd done anything like that. It was wonderful, and I even came home with a couple of items.

More about those in a future blog post. Stay 'tooned!
