Time to begin… MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND BONANZA! It’s birthday time again! and how better to celebrate than showing off one of the stars of my collection, my GIANT custom pony! This is Rainbelle, a pony custom on a G3 giant blank base, from the My Little Pony Project many years ago! i won her in a design contest put on by the My Little Pony Fair, so her design is by me, but she was painted and mailed to me by the Fair! 🦄💖✨ I am not 100% sure of the artist, I’ll add her when I find out!

A collection of my last, uh, three? Five? Target runs! First I found he adorable little dollhouse corner shelves, and I was like, so cute! Then I found the castle ones and thought, OH NO EVEN CUTER! And little tiny doll-sized photo frames, and a new Animal Crossing Lego set, on sale! With JULIAN! 🦄 And finally, I snagged a couple of the LOL Surprise Strawberry Shortcake minis, I couldn’t resist! But I got a double of Lime Chiffon! Because I’m posting this out of order, surprise! Oops! 🤣 So excited to get Huckleberry Pie though, he’s so cute!

IKEA finds from a full year ago! Now, I’m going to ask you to use your imagination a little bit… because I took the cute little white shelf and stole it for my diorama a year ago, and never put it back. So … it didn’t make the photo. Just IMAGINE a cute white shelf in there! 🤣 I got the cork potholders for pin displays (so cute and useful!), and I thought these little chair wall hangers were soooo cute for doll chairs! IKEA always has lots of fun stuff! The furniture minis are very cute and sturdy, too small for Barbie by far though, but I think Megan from MLP will enjoy them!

Almost a year ago, I went to a kids consignment event, and found some Breyer horses! Well, this is from a different kids consignment sale! 🤣 The pickings were far slimmer with a smaller event, but I found some cute dolls with absolutely felted hair and two sets of hands between ‘em, and a little robot pony who still works! She is a Spinmaster Zoomer I believe, and the second photo has her eyes glowing yellow once I turned her on! A friendly little robo member for the fakie herd!

This little guy is a Missouri Fox Trotter Stablemate (by Breyer) and he comes to me from my friend Marbletoast! She got two of him from the Wave 7 blind bags, and she graciously asked if I wanted her extra! He reminds me a lot of my holiday horse, Snowflake from 1998!

My sister and I went to an estate sale last weekend, very unplanned! And along with an eclectic book of techno CDs from the early 2000s, I found a bunch of fun bridal shower supplies, like silk flowers and pearl-studded tulle! I managed to break a vase too, just a cheap one! 🤣 The mirrored coasters are from a Goodwill trip months ago, and I keep forgetting to share them! But they fit well in this very #aesthetic post!

Something to that’s not Breyer horses!? Say it ain’t so! 🤣 I don’t get out to Savers too often, so when I get to go I’m fully focused! And last week they had the usual bagged Barbie dolls, and almost no random small bags of animals! How odd! But I found a baggie with fakies and G3 Swirlypop, what a lucky find!! And then they had a few Barbies on the shelf unbagged but tagged, and I thought, this one looks sort of holiday ish! Happy Holidays Barbie 1992, with part of her saddle stand still tucked under her skirt, wow!! The dog is Cutie Pop Pets S’mores, and when they say her accessories pop out, they mean everything - including eyes. 🤣 So altogether a very successful and exiting run! Now, off to the bath! #

Me and my shadow! 🎶 Don’t they just perfectly fit? When I showed off The Ties That Bind Us from Breyerfest 2025, I knew I wanted to show off my only other horse in the same mold, called the Silver mold - this is the Halloween horse Skullduggery, from 2001! He was part of my childhood herd, but luckily doesn’t have too many scuffs, since I was a bit older when I got him. What a pair of beauties, and they pose so nicely together! A Summerween moment! 🎃🌻 But I forgot to get a picture of his ghost blaze! 👻

To The Ties That Bind Us is a gold charm exclusive from the Breyerfest 2025 event, and one of the SR horses I was selected for! (If you aren’t aware, before the event you are asked to rank your preferences for the Special Release horses, and Breyer distributes the horses roughly according to everyone’s preferences, as much as they could!) For this year, a lot of the horses I wanted were in-person only (like YOLO, Get This Party Started, the dog!), so I picked the beautiful blue Ties because I really liked the idea of having a Wedgewood horse in my collection. Imagine my surprise when this gold charm beauty came out of the box just in time for my birthday instead! The gold is really stunning in person, and because it’s a 50-50 split run (roughly, with a very small number being silver!), a lot of people prefer the blue. But there’s no way I could trade my beauty away! I really liked the cleverness of the ‘tiny horse silhouettes outlining pinto or appaloosa patterns’ for the 75th anniversary, but it wasn’t until I saw Ties that I really connected with a design. He’s a beaut! And only my second Silver mold horse in my collection - I’ll show my other one tomorrow!

Hats Off To You was one of my desired Special Runs from Breyerfest 2025! I’ve wanted an Old Timer since I was a kid, something just stood out to me about him! He’s a very special fellow - his blaze and nose snip spell out 75, for the 75th anniversary! And he comes with two hats, a regular Old Timer hat and a party hat!

Breyerfest 2026 Day 3: DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY. 🌙 Today I am up bright and early again to watch the livestream! It’s been all Breyer horses all the time for the past month or so, and today I am bringing together one of my newest horses with one of my childhood horses - a zebra! 🦓 When I saw a ZEBRA on the shelf as a kid, I was truly amazed, and I knew she had to come home with me! She’s been one of very few non horse animals in my herd until recently, and I was so excited when they announced I Will Survive the quagga for Breyerfest! 2024! Now my zeeby has a friend! 💖 Happy Breyerfest everyone! Have fun on the FINAL DAY! 🌝

Legend from my Breyerfest 2024 order, even if he’s a regular run! He’s made on the Georg mold, which has become one of my favorites - I love a draft! 🤩 I’ll share yesterday’s article again about police animals, I thought it was very insightful and not too long.

Today’s post is a horse I bought during Breyerfest 2024, but he’s not an official Breyerfest model! This is Legend, a Kentucky Horse Park Mounted Police Horse, and he was featured pretty often during the livestream to showcase his new model. He’s an absolutely stunning horse and model! Legend is a drum horse, which is a mix of Clydesdale, Shire and Vanner, and he has medicine hat markings! But it’s hard to showcase him without also acknowledging that horses used by police are often used to exert excessive and undue violence against the general populace, especially as we saw during the anti-ICE protests last year in LA when a nonviolent protester was trampled by a police horse. Considering that the top cause of death for police K-9 units is overheating due to being forgotten in hot cars, I have to fear for the safety of equine officers as well. He’s a lovely horse, I just wish he had a better job!

Gascon the Great, freed from his box! This is my first model on the paso fino mold, he is sooo elegant! Especially his flowing tail! I’ve always been fond of the gray and white horses, but really… I’m sorta fond of all of them. 🤣 It’s a problem!
