Susanne´s wonderful news from STS-friends, update 4th of December :-)

WOW Susanne, magnific additions.

I like Collecta Diabloceratops , very much.

Nice picture of badgers too.

Wonderful additions Susanne! Congratulations!

I love the Badger especially; it is just gorgeous. And of course, I love the starlux badger as well.

The Diabloceratops looks better in your pictures than it looked in other photos I've seen. I'm now tempted...

Thankyou, friends

Glad to help!

A couple of days ago I got a wonderful parcel from Spokane, Washington !
Some of you can gues from who (m?) it was ..... yes dear Sue had collected a fabulous parcel for me.
She had helped me getting some gems on Ebay ( I will show those elsewhere), and a few things I bought from her at very friend'ly prices.
But most was gifts, Sue, I am almost chocked, but most of all I am VERY happy     

Almost as long as I have known about CollectA, I have been eyeing the chickens. But I was not completely sure...
No need to hesitate ! They are gorgeous

You can almost see Momma-hen ruffeling her featers

And see the sun glitter in Pappa's shiny finery

Hear the Cheep-cheep of the chickens :

A lovely flock of Schleich from the good old days   
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

For a long time I searched for the light version of the hyena no 14139.
At last I got one, and he is cute, but he has been in a fight with something or somebody.
Now I got a fine, perfect brother from Sue  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Here the three more peaceful ones .
No 14347 to the right, and to the left the two different 14139's.

And Papo, too :
The enormously charming Exmoore pony, made in 2003 as one of the first flock of horses from Papo .
He is completly new, had not even been taken out of the plastic bag  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

And the gorgeous Percheron ! Also old and rare, and still in the plactig bag !
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

YESSS!!!! A VARIATION

Sue also sent me these beautyful, lovely birds !
Together with a whole stack of little leaftles, that make you dream of taking a trip to the Far East and SWIM in Kiyodos  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Imagine, just a few days ago we saw this bird her on the forum, and now I also have this wonderful Spoonbill

Wow, so great additions for your collection!  - Well,  often dreams become true on STS!  
Big hurray for Sue!

We cannot spend two or three days without watching this topic that we loose a complete zoo!
I am glad you like the diabloceratops, when youtold about running away of it in a forest I thought immediately in the classic fairy tale of Little red riding wood and the big bad diabloceratops! .tongue:
Of course you're the girl on this story and not the person she is visiting.
You have many other great additions from our friends and it makes me happy hearing from Sue even if it is not from her own voice.

It seems it is Christmas everyday in Denmark  

Congratulation Susanne  

Thankyou, dear friends

Look, look, look ! Look what Roger gave to me  

The wonderful, beautyful Schleich Lipizzan stallion 13220 in perfect piaffe, made in 1992, when they (In my opinion  ) made the REAL, famous Schleich-horses ! 
And this is even a rare "Rohling"

What a wonderful gift! And it's even better when it's given to you by a great friend. Congrats Susanne!

C O N G R A T S.  

 Congrats, that truly was Schleich's "golden years."

A nice horse Susanne!! And a big hurray for our Roger:cheers:        

Susanne, you're very welcome!
Not because it was sent from Portugal but this horse is really beautiful, the pose is fantastic without being exagerated, look at hooves, legs, tail, etc. A great horse indeed. I'm glad you're happy!

What a lovely rare horse!

I like the lively tail

I wonder then, if he is from Schleich Golden Age.. Will we then, in 10 years or so, call this 'The Dark Age of Schleich' or 'back when Schleich horses were still realistic'...

Good question !!!  
Strange things happen ....
It seems to me not many years ago, when we were all standing round one of the young accountants at my job, watching in awe, how he had a progremme in his computer, so he could send a FILE ot AMERICA  

But now my new horse is standing in my little cabinet for some larger VIP-models, and that won't change  

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Wonderful collection Susanne! I am sure most if not all of us have a "VIP-model" section of our collection.

Great little cupboard of goodies.  

Thankyou 4U and Paige

Great rohling newcomer Susanne! And I love your VIP cabinet    Congratulations!!!
And hurray for Roger too!

congrats Susanne!  

Sweet additions. I agree about the Schleich horse's pleasant-looking piaffe. (I wonder if ten years from now we'll have all the new piaffe-performing horse models sculpted into van Grunsven type twists and knots, with forelegs flailing and eyes pleading...)

Also, you seem to have a most wonderful repaint of the Papo caribou in your V.I.P. section, Susanne. May I ask who he was painted by?

Wonderful new horse Susanne! Congratulations!

Hurray for Roger! Love the display too

Thankyou, friends
