Second Post of the Day
Enjoy these updates on Breyer happenings, Nash, me, and more!
The BreyerFest Warehouse Sale
Last week Breyer announced that a warehouse sale of items from past BreyerFests would be held sometime this week. It dropped at 2:00 Thursday afternoon and by 2:02, the one thing I was mildly interested in was already sold out.
Other things did not sell as quickly and for the most part, social media posts expressed disappointment at what had been offered. Out of the 35 offerings, I already had the 9 I'd most wanted. I looked at it all a couple of times and then moved back into the sewing room to work on the quiet book.
As of this morning when I took those screen shots, 10 of the 35 have sold out. Apparently I am not the only one who didn't find anything that they needed.
Buenos Aires, Third Release of the Exotic Destinations Series
Buenos Aires, the third release in the Exotic Destinations series was offered on Monday.
With a paint job designed by Lesli Kathman and on the popular Smarty Jones mold, my guess is that this will be a popular and coveted piece.

There are 600 pieces available at a purchase price of $199. Entries closed last night and winners will be contacted in the next 24-36 hours.
I entered for him - I like polo ponies and while that is not an Appaloosa pattern that he sports (it is a manchado pinto) it is close enough and I really like it. Still, that price point makes me a bit leery. Much as I love my collection, $200 is a lot of money. We shall see.
Here There Be
Nash is still grieving Molly's passing but we see signs of normalcy surfacing . He spends every day with us right now, instead of the Wednesdays/Fridays routine we were on when Mama was with us. (Gosh, I'm welling up with tears as I write her name. I miss her so!)
But there is still some sadness, some loneliness, that you can see in his body language. He's a joy de vivre kind of dog, and for the most part, that's missing. However, there are signs that he is doing better.
Lying on my feet? That's Pepper, not Nash.
But wanting to also lie on a pillow while he lies on my feet? Oh, that's very much our Nashie-boi.
Don't worry; Tammo got it back and has Nash's favorite toy, too.
Ready to join me for an afternoon nap? Oh, yes! Not that there is any room for me like that. Someone is going to have to move so I can lie down, too.
Normally when I find a model tipped over, I'm not too happy.
But this is a sign that Nash and Tammo got rowdy together on the upstairs overlook, and I am fine with that. (Besides, that's my carpet herd Man O'War and he's already been through a lot of play time with me.)
Here there be dragons dogs and those dragons dogs were clearly happy.
So am I.
A Gift from Belle
I don't talk about it much, but in November, 2024, I started working on my health and losing weight. It's been a year and a half, and I am at goal.
I am really happy about that.
I have been going through my summer clothes and nothing fits. And honestly, I am not a shopping girl. I have never been someone who wandered the mall or did a lot of clothes shopping. (Antique malls and shopping for HSOs? That's different!!) Add in clothes shopping and using dressing rooms while using a walker, and it's pretty intimidating to me.
Luckily there is online shopping and I am looking for things now. There are also friends who surprise you with gifts.
Like this shirt from Belle.
She and her family were at my Kentucky Derby Watch party and she was wearing this shirt. I complimented her on it, and she asked my size and said she'd just order it for me. Except that when it arrived, she would not accept any money. "It's a gift!" she declared.
Thank you, Belle. I love it. And now we can twinsie together!
A Quiet Book Sneak Peek
Jessica just sent me a few things to use for the quiet book.
She's a dental hygienist and sent me a pack of baby toothbrushes, two carrot appliqués,
I'll be working on the page for those today. Any guesses as to how they will be used?
Stay 'tooned!
Congrats on the weight loss and getting healthier! It is not easy. You look great!
