I promise I will get back to blogging about meatier collectibility subjects soon, but since BreyerFest just wrapped up, I thought I'd get the picture dumps out of the way. Prepare for eye candy!
On Wednesday, my family hit the road for our 28th BreyerFest. We've never missed one since BreyerFest began in 1990, and I can hardly believe that we have another one in the books already!

| Lexington bound! |

| Pretty Appalachian view |

| Beautiful Kentucky bluegrass |
A flat tire delayed our arrival a bit, but by Thursday morning, we were excited to participate in No NAN-sense in downtown Lexington. My sister Sarah and I displayed some rare vintage models and chatted with visiting hobbyists about collectibility.
Sarah Minkiewicz' excellent A Good Vintage show for vintage customs was
held in conjunction with No NAN-sense. It was very well-supported---here
are some of my favorite entries!

Next up will be some pictures of vintage and rare clinkies from Breakables!
A) Great pictures of AGV models. That was such a wonderful selection of CM models from all eras.
ReplyDeleteB) I am in awe of the fact that you have been to every BFest.
C) You don't look old enough to have done so - that is meant as a compliment.
D) That prototype Breyer Poodle was one of the most incredible pieces of model history I have ever seen! Thank you for bringing it and the documentation and letting people that don't always see the Collector Classes get a peek.
E) It was wonderful to meet you and Sarah at your table at No NAN-Sense. I would have fan-girled you about your vintage publications, but I think I already have.
Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to chat with you and Laurie Jo!
