Christmas window shopping

Yesterday, I made a trip to Seth's favorite RC hobby store to pick up a gift card for his stocking.

As I was leaving, I looked across the strip mall parking lot and wondered if those Breyers were still in the window at the antique store.

I decided I had to find out.

They were!

I took a picture and prepared to leave.

Then I decided I wanted to see them from the other side.

Ahhhhhhh.

Even though I am in a downsizing phase, temptations abounded.

I've always wanted a Leah's Fancy Chick, but not at that price...

and not with those legs!

For a moment or two, I thought this was the JAH saddlebred weanling, which is definitely one of the ones who got away.

It's not, but I don't think it's the 2009 model either.

Since I had a few minutes, I decided to make a quick trip around the building.

I've been to this particular store many times, but never have I seen so many models!

They were everywhere.

Most were Breyers, but there were also a few non Breyers.

Paging Angelo Žunić.

There were also near Breyers,

dogs...

and lots of nativity donkeys.

If I was in an accumulating phase, this could have been a very expensive day!

Surprisingly, the most tempting item was not a horse but a horse book. I used to check this one out of the library on a regular basis.

I spent a few minutes flipping through the pages and admiring the illustrations.

Still so pretty!

Then I sighed a wistful sigh, and placed it carefully back on the shelf.

While most of this post has been about things I did not get, here's a look at what I unwrapped for the sixth day of Shaunamas.

Actually, there wasn't a lot of unwrapping. This is one of the bundles that my dogs opened for me. I am assuming there was some kind of canine attractant, but now it's just a handful of slightly glittery, faux snowballs. 

I'm sure an explanation (of sorts) will be forthcoming, but it's fine. I'm not in an accumulating stage, so I am perfect happy with a few small snowballs.
