Daisy Chain

A couple months ago, my friend and fellow blogger, Lynn Isenbarger, spotted a Beswick Shire at a local antique mall. She didn't buy it that day, but went back and got her after I expressed an interest. We arranged a mutually beneficial trade. My part shipped immediately, but neither of  us was keen on putting an old china in the mail. Instead, we decided to deliver her at BreyerFest.

Of course, neither one of us actually attended BreyerFest. What happened is, Lynn gave the Shire to her friend, Kelsey, who gave it my friends, Fabian and Angelo, who drove her home to Colorado.

Last night, Piper and I went to Angelo's after work. 

We admired her BreyerFest loot.

Is it wrong that I'm most jealous of the goat?

Then I unboxed the Beswick.

I had a lot of "help."

I tried to get a picture of all three of them sniffing the box.

"Ha, ha. You funny, mom."

And there she is on Angelo's desk. She survived the trip in perfect shape, thanks to a wonderful packing job by Lynn and careful handling on the part of everyone in this horse delivery daisy chain.

Here she is at home in my basement.

I've wanted this particular Beswick for a long time. I am so happy to finally have her on my shelf.

Thank you, Lynn, Kelsey, Fabian and Angelo!
