My Collection :) - a parcel from Roger & Christmas finds - 13th Feb

This one took a long while to get to me.  

I think it was back in October that I mentioned to my friend Christine (known as EG in some model horse circles ) that the lovely Papo Belgian was one of the few still in my wishlist. She happened to have one, and was kind enough to send me this beautiful boy at the cost of shipping! He took three weeks to get to me, and since parcels from the UK usually take a week, at most, to arrive, I quickly got very worried! When it finally got to me, the ladies that keep the mail (I'm living in student housing, so the mail doesn't directly get to me) almost threw a party, they were so happy it had arrived, as I stopped by every day to check if it had gotten there and we were all quite afraid it had gotten lost!   But in the end, everything turned out well, and the box, which got to me last Wednesday, even included little gifts.  

First the Belgian... I think he was in her body box, but he is in very good condition. I'm not sure if I will paint him yet.

And the gifts!!   Among the packing peanuts, there was a very long, very thin strip of paper, which I took my time to unravel - halfway through it, there was a paper saying that I could finally call myself a Julip collector! And indeed... Two beautiful little Julip bunnies! Christine picked them up at the Julip Live for me, which was very kind of her. They're such sweet, tiny little models

She also sent some chocolate. That, sadly, I didn't take pictures of - I ate it before I could.

Haha, I know Christine too

Congratulations, glad they finally arrived! It's hard enough to wait for a package you're expecting, let along if it takes longer than it should

Those bunnies are super cute

Congrats again :)

That's very kind from Christine! Congratulations for your new figures!

Thank you everyone! Christine was very kind, indeed, I was super happy with those bunnies  

Oh, gosh! This is late, and I feel awful about it. I've been so busy these past few months! No time for online socialising, ahah.

Roger very kindly sent me a parcel back in December... And I only had the time to take photos of the contents today! Inside it, there were not only ponies...

Thank you Roger

When I spent Christmas at my grandma's, I found these little ones hiding in a jar. Apparently they were gven out when you spent a certain amount at a supermarket. They look quite ugly at the moment, but maybe with their seams filed and filled and a new coat of paint, they'll look good. The chickens and the ducks in particular (I have two of each ) look quite promising!

Trovalsa, so glad that you've found some time to update your topic and I am really glad you like these horses. I am also happy seeing that the hedgehog have found some friends and they look so nice together. Looking forward to see what you'll do with these farm animals and how will look Mojo's horse after your repaint.
