Looking for Job Lots/Collections

It's that time of year again! Last year we added a brilliant selection of items to our store so we haven't been searching for a while but we are running low and have the space to add a few more.

I'm looking for job lots/collections of models for resale.

Email: catriona@chestnutridge.co.uk if you have something and would like to do a deal.

Pretty much all brands accepted although Breyers and Stones are usually preferred.

Updated Pony Room Pics

Well seeing as I think I now have more here than at mums...we are going for about 60% here I think, I thought I'd share some updated pictures of the pony room!

Pony Room

This is a sorta whole room shot



Behind the door



Some of the Schleichs and Stablemates



Some more Traditionals and Classics



Lots of horses!





For some reason the two big congas are the ones which have been moved over least! I've got about another 15 silvers at home and another 30 G2 appys


Cabinets

The little cabinet



I really need another Weathergirl...this cabinet drives me insane



One of the most valuable cabinets! This has some of my really nice customs in



Stables





Rosettes

I've been slowly moving rosettes over as well. I still have quite a lot at mums but I think only about 30%. I like percentages today :p

Body Quality Brishen on eBay

This guy got damage...sticky paint.

I have listed him on eBay with a 99p start. Pretty sure you might be able to get away with PSQ with some careful photography. Apart from that for repairs or as a body.

It's All Changed...

Clearly I have nothing better to do with my time!

I think it might be easier to read now...also its all nice and black and white although we nearly had a weird space age theme thing...but that's because I thought it looked pretty.

Quite tempted to go and play with my other blogs now (O know please don't I hear you cry)

Improving the Website Look

I did the whole...I got halfway there and got bored thing with improving the category graphics but I have done a few more.

All the OF section is now done:

And I have moved onto the tack section. I have done the four primary categories and am now working my way through the secondary categories.

Under Traditional scale you can see how much of an improvement the new black and white ones make to the old ones. They just look so much better and of course fit the new black and white branding we chose to go for this summer:

I'm really happy with how things are starting to look but that top bar is still really bugging me. It and the category text at the top overlap and I can't seem to work out how to prevent it. Of course I've asked the husband but he still hasn't even attempted to sort it out...
