My little "show-shelf"

I suppose may of us have the problem that it is not possible to have all our figueres on show at the same time.
I have the majority packed carefully in boxes, but they also stand on any surface where the dogs can`t reach them : Top of paintings, piano, in front of books on the bookshelves, round my PC etc, etc.

I have a very good shelf, where I have changing "shows". My dear friend and neigbour gave it to me, and I love the shelf very much, even more now, because my friend passed away last week.

Now and then I take a deep breath and pack everything avay and start a new "show".
It almost breaks my heart every time, so lately it has become more and more crammed

Here are some pictures, first in spring ´06, nice and neat :

Then I did not take pictures for several years. I did not know I would meet you guys. But very soon the shelf became too small for the horses.

Where did you find that beauty ?

On Ebay

Nono, no, I am wrong

I found it on this Spanish site, - or rather, Roger found the Bullyland Kondor there, and then they had the gnu also.

The problem is, they charge 32 Euros to ship outside Spain, - but perhaps one of our Spanish friends can help, and buy some for y´all ????

Yes, no wonder they have many old and rare figueres, - nobody buys from them because if the shipping costs.
But perhaps some uf us could go together and buy and split the shipping ?
I would just love to have the bison calf and the donkeys
