But...Sorry, Laura, the barn went a long time ago... But not how you might think. Eight days after I posted this, (2010) one of my beloved collegues passed away. He had inquired about the Breyer Barn, but the asking price was more than he wanted to spend. A few days before Christmas I was driving carriage when his voice whispered in my ear. He said, "My grand kids would love that barn." I conferred with my daughter, who was the real owner of the set, and with her approval I gave it to his grandchildren. I'm not usually so generous, but stepping in to deliver a gift that they otherwise would never get, one is knew he wanted for them, felt like the right thing to do.

Whatever she wants.<br /><br />Dreaming, yes I did have that same set up for 8 years in Trimble, Missouri. All those farm animals? That's what we had. Plus I forgot to stick the peacock in the mix. We had a cock and a hen. And waaaay more chickens. Plus two barn cats, but none of them to the scale of Wednesday.<br /><br />I will say one thing about the play farm vs the real one. It's much easier to take vacations when you have the play farm.Lisa Deonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619574582795102959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138993497339296072.post-71532574579013721092010-11-06T20:59:09.263-06:002010-11-06T20:59:09.263-06:00Oh, man.

Now, I'm lucky enough to have something almost as nice with real, live horses and kitties at the right scale!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138993497339296072.post-10821717977404546132010-11-04T14:15:12.276-06:002010-11-04T14:15:12.276-06:00Dang.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if only I didn't have to store it for heaven-only-knows how long (perhaps forever?) till I could give it to a grandchild and then I'd get to play with it. It's wonderful!<br /> ---MBAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
