The bodies I wanted to strip are proving to be more… intractable than I imagined, so I’ve decided to set them aside for now and occupy myself with other projects, like planning my garden – continuing with last year’s Victorian theme, but adding more scented flowers – and sorting out the craft supplies and paperwork hidden in my Jethro Closet.
(It’s a weird little storage closet tucked under the stairs in the basement where all my wayward things seem to end up, instead. The name is an old family joke, and I’ll just leave it at that.)
While I normally would be head over heels for anything coming in Glossy Dappled Black, the latest Web Special Puffin, the first in the new “Birds of a Feather” Series, is leaving me a little cold (no pun intended).
I like the concept of the series in general, and I have nothing against the Wixom mold in particular. I’m just not in a buying mood right now, and if I’m buying anything this year that’s Glossy Dappled Black, it’s going to be the Collector’s Club Exclusive Lafayette, on the Hamilton mold.
It also doesn’t help that my Glossy Cheesecake from last year’s BreyerFest is still not here yet and I am not looking forward to calling Reeves for the fourth time on Monday to figure out what his status is. The last time I called (two weeks ago) it was still at the fulfillment center, but at this point I think I’d rather have my money back and just forget I even ordered it in the first place.
I don’t think I’ve ever had to call more than once to resolve a shipping issue before they switched to this new fulfillment house, so to say that I am displeased at the moment is... an understatement. Especially since I hate making phone calls in the first place.
I already have the Matte Cheesecake anyway, so I’m perfectly fine with letting the Glossy one go.
I did enter for Puffin, so if by some stroke of luck I do get drawn, I’ll offer her up for sale at cost plus transaction fees.

Oooh I am soooo very excited aboit puffin but I am a Wixom fan. Really hoping we get picked for it!
That's a generous idea, cost plus fees. I put in for her, with the assumption I stand not a chance. I am really curious what others in the Bird series will look like.
I wish I had your resolve! Breyer can slap a coat of gloss on ANYTHING and I will buy it! I never win at these Gambler's Choice or Raffle options, so I doubt I'll see her in my herd, but one can dream...
Yup. Emails went out and I am a loser...sigh...You'd think for all the models I have sold to others at cost that Karma would cut me a break!
