Firefly & Hawkeye

Busy day today for those with VIP or All-Access tickets to BreyerFest.

Set those alarms, figure out which workshops you want to attend, and then be logged in and ready to register at 1:00 PM EDT! These workshops are done in-person and the schedule can be found here. 

VIP, All-Access, and Online Traditional Access ticket holders can also enjoy the virtual workshops. No registration is needed for those and almost all are free. 

The full list of virtual workshops has not yet been announced, but Breyer did release a sneak peek in February.  The complete list should be released soon. (Breyer is also bringing back at least one virtual workshop, Dani Boiko's chainmail weaving tutorial.)

In other Breyer news, or rather, new Breyers for me (haha), I ordered the Premiere Club Firefly and Hawkeye from the new Collector Club Store. 

I've never been a member of the Premiere Club although I did receive Rhian and Cadell from Breyer as a prize for a show I'd entered.

I'd have to check my records, but I'm pretty sure I received them for winning a championship in the 2020 BreyerFest Breakables photo show. (I do remember being surprised when their box arrived on my doorstep!)

When Firefly and Hawkeye were released, the mare mold reminded me of Abby.

The color bore a bit of a resemblance but it was more the personality she projected that made me think of my girl.

Firefly looked like a nice, quiet mare, just like Abby was.

Hawkeye's sassy pose reminds me of Two Socks. 

I often said that Two Socks was a bold and sassy girl, and Hawkeye has that look about her.

Firefly and Hawkeye have now been tagged and put next to my BreyerFest 2022 Spree and Elbe set.

I really need to get Ebony Shine and Charlize, too. They remind me so much of Sultanna and Two Socks. I'm waiting for them to go on sale - $65 for the set is more than I want to pay.

And speaking of Sultanna, I need to run out to the barn and check her. We think she is most likely in foal and I'd love to check on her. 

Stay 'tooned.

Don't Blink!

First, some updates.

Craig is improving but still feeling the effects of the concussion. Thanks for all the well wishes.

I'm still feeling exhausted from the Covid. It's been a week since symptoms began and I'm on Paxlovid, so hopefully I will be back to normal soon. 

The January Give Away will be announced tomorrow. Stay 'tooned!

If you're like me, you are already getting excited for BreyerFest. Breyer is definitely keeping the news flowing - blink and you might miss something. 

I was surprised when Breyer announced the on-site workshops. I thought that announcement usually came later. Regardless, it was fun to see what was being offered. (All pics today are taken from Breyer's web site with the exception of Liberty.)

In addition to the on-site workshops, Breyer has announced two more models, a Special Run and a Limited Edition.

To the Ties that Bind Us is a must-have for me.

The piece is a Special Run and will be available to all ticket holders.

Produced on the popular Silver mold, the color is Breyer's "...Wedgewood blue with a snowcap Appaloosa pattern of Breyer models from over the decades..."

This will be a lovely piece to add to my Silver conga. 

And to put next to my Liberty! I'm interested in seeing how their colors compare.

The next piece actually was announced at the National Western Stock Show before Breyer announced it.

Classic/Freedom Series portrait model Game Day Surprise.

He is a Limited Edition and, like To the Ties that Bind Us, will be available to all ticket holders. The real horse is known as Eli and often wears a neck sash when performing.

Finally, if you want to be a vendor at BreyerFest, both in-person or online, applications are open.
