News in Susanne's collection 2017. Update December 22nd : Cats, dog, foxes and horses :-)

Some hundred meters from where I live, there is a very old farmer.
He can't walk very well, and he can't hear. His eyesight isn't very good anymore either.
But he can still repair tractors and harvesters for his friends  

He has had to give up his cows, and only has a few ducks now.
So instead of real animals he has begun to carve model animals in wood
I was fortunate to to get one of his reindeer

I wish I can get old as proudly as he does

What a wonderful gift from your neighbour. The reindeer is very charming.

All your other newcomers are also lovely. Congratulations.

Thankyou, dear Tove

That is beautiful work!

Wow that is a beautiful special deer. Big congratulations on getting such a wonderful carving from your dear neighbor.

Congrats Susanne :)

Oh, I love stories like this...models like this one... people like your neighbor..
This Reindeer is so sweet, so charming , so special :)

Thankyou, Paige, Andreas and Kosta

This December I got several nice models from friends
For some strange reason I have not really been in photo-model lately, but here are some of them

Roger sent me a WONDERFUL parcel :

The beautyful resin dog came in a neat bag. Last year I got a cat from the same series,-
aren't they cute together ?

They found a place on the piano, - a Christmas-get-together of some gems. The two dolls used to belong to my mother

And the complete set of Nayab foxes . They are really from a company called Toy-Mate!!
Perhaps the finish is not perfect, but I LOVE them

Thankyou very, very much, dear Roger
You always find something extraordinary, and my collection would be a lot more poor and booring without you  

And then !!!
From Numaan I got the most amazing gift !!!
TWO of the magnificent DeLuxe horses from CollectA
They are AWESOME. No photo can show how great they are.
And they are enormously kind, too. Ever since I got them, they have been helping me with christmas preparations

Here they are helping me pick the nicest "To - and - from" tags for the presents :

A bit of fresh air, - and they help me put up the light chain

And finally, all are tired, so I read a good night story for them.

Numaan. I am so grateful, and do not know how to thank you for these magnificent two models !
The Andalusian stallion has got the name Numaan, and this one I won't forget !  
The Mustang is called Nougat, and the pony is called Nugget  

Santa was really nice this Christmas to you!
What wonderful animals and gifts!
Sure you know my eyes caught on the little stone Border Collie you got

And those CollectA horses, they are so beautiful!!

Love how you decorated the place :3

Thankyou, dear Karin

I love the Christmas atmosphere on your pictures! You are always very kind with my humble gifts that are nothing when compared with yours. These Toy-Mate foxes are probably manufactured with different painting level quality. They likely gave me the most unexpensive finish but it was a very kind gesture from them. So kind that I could share the joy with a good friend.
Karin, I didn't know it was a border collie, I will try to find a brother collie!
I am so happy that you received these big CollectA horses from Numaan.
About your reindeer, I second Kosta's words!

Beautieful new additions Susanne. And a big hurray for Roger :)

Wonderful Christmas gifts! Thanks for sharing them. I really like your unique set of foxes.

Aaww, Thank you Roger!
A brother collie would be fantastic! XD <3
It is indeed a border collie, markings, fur, it fits perfectly!

Oh, thanks for telling. One thing I am sure, these figures intend to represent real breeds. I know they are 6 dogs and I do recognized some of the breeds even if I was not sure about this one. I will let you know if I find a brother left.
