One of the more exciting things to come out of ZestFest as an unabashed collector was a chance to see & order the new T99 Reserve from Blair. Pictures I’d seen online didn’t do justice to being able to see them up close and personal. Here are some pics of them from Blair’s ZestFest booth:

Here’s what we saw as we approached the big ol’ Blair space at ZF. We had hoped to meet with Blair, but he was unable to attend the show because of his son’s birthday. (We just had 2 of our kids’ b-days, so we completely understand.)

Probably the best view, where you can really appreciate the colors of all 3 choices in wax. They’re big and beautiful, huh? We loved ‘em so much, we ordered two! Not sure if I will ultimately keep both of them, but they will look great on the big shelf o’ Blair. Makes me really wonder how the later 2006 reserves (Halloween and Holiday) will look this year after the renovation in style.

Being a collector is a lot of fun. Expensive, mind you…but a lot of fun.
