Sundance & Blossom

I found these lovely ponies from a sale on Instagram a few months ago! I fell in love with Sundance right away. She's quickly become one of my favorite ponies! Blossom is also adorable! 

I've been very neglectful lately, so to make up for it I'll be trying to post everyday. I have recently picked up many new goodies! 

Stay tuned!

Fakies and Ponies

A few days ago I got this awesome little fakie kitty from a member at the forum. I was super excited to find her since she matches my fakie puppy. Her eyes are pretty wonky but I'm in love!

I also couldn't resist photographing my fillies! They are all complete except for my Ruby Pony. I've very happy because I think I may soon be able to print the missing pieces like the blanket and stable  sticker using scans from the lovely members of the kenner forum! I can't wait to start experimenting!

And last but not least I found this awesome glass while shopping last week. It's new but has an adorable illustration of Sundance from My Little Pony. I couldn't resist, and my ponies approved as well!

Baby Bow Tie

Today a small brown envelope arrived from the sweetest member at the MLP arena. Inside was this adorable little pony, Baby Bow Tie. Although I do collect My Little Pony, I've tried very hard to only collect a select few. With my current love of all things bows, how could I resist. 

Here are some shots with cutie Baby Bow Tie with Bow Tie.

The rest of the ponies wanted to say hello!

Mini Ponies and Paper dolls

A few more packages came today. The first had another lot of the My Little Pony Mommy Charms. I added these to my herd, which is getting quite large. The Charmkins were very happy to welcome them. I was probably having way too much fun setting them up, but they were so cute I couldn't resist. 

I also won a very reasonable copy of a Charmkins Paper Doll Book. All the dolls are intact and I am in love with the illustrations inside. The costumes for each character are beautiful, and I can imagine having so much fun cutting these out if I was still a little girl. I had the best time cutting out paper dolls. I also watched the Charmkins cartoon for the first time. I really loved the way they incorporated the playsets into the actual TV show. I wish more of the characters had been turned into collectable charmkins. I think I may have grown up in the wrong decade.

My Little Pony Mommy Charms

While falling in love with Charmkins I also discovered a line from My Little Pony called "Mommy Charms". I cannot remember which came first, Pixie Pony or these girls, but they are made from the same mold, and quite adorable. These ponies came attached to larger Ponies and then could be added to a charm bracelet.

Brown paper packages

Two packages were waiting for me when I came home today. The first had my Krystal Princess Pegasus, and the second had a batch of Charmkins I had been waiting for. I was also able to photograph Peachy with her cute saddle and slippers. I really had a fun time taking a few group photos with different members of my collections.

While out picking up some shopping staples, I "stumbled" across some LPS G2 Blindbags. I decided to pick up two, just to test my luck. I ended up with a Musical Swan and Pig. They are growing on me, but I don't think I could ever religiously collect them. I just love the 90's Littlest Pet shop line too much. I do appreciate the broad spectrum of animals that the new pets are able to cover, but I just think they loose something by only really being adorable bobble heads. None the less I decided to photograph them.

Bows and Hearts

A few days ago I got in a lovely package of ponies from my friend Sarafina. I've been waiting for these beauties for awhile so I was so excited for them to arrive. They came looking lovely, but I ended up sprucing up their hair a bit for practice.She even included an extra pony, Baby North Star. My pony collection is growing pretty quickly, but I don't feel as though I have to collect every one, just the cute ones. Right now I seem to gravitate towards some of the earlier poses. In general I love hearts, bows, and polka dots, so its very clear why I love Peachy and Bow Tie. Peachy also arrived in some adorable slippers and a saddle, which I'll be sure to photograph later.

I made another visit to the thrift store last night, but didn't end up finding anything. Most of the toys seemed to be newer. I'm trying to see if there is any relation between the thrift store location and what sort of toys it has. So far the ones near larger cities seem to have more finds. Either way it was still fun to browse, and it just makes me more eager to go hunting this weekend!

Rescue Ponies

Today was my second time visiting the thrift stores for vintage toys. My first stop was the local salvation army, which turned out to have nothing. I was a bit discouraged, but in the words of another thrift store hunter I thought that no toy was looking to be found here. So I left and decided to stop at one other thrift store on my way to run errands. I was happy to see the Pikachu tooth brush holder I saw last week had found a home. When I got to the toy section I noticed that nothing had really changed. Everything I remember from last week was still there. This place bags all their small toys, so you pay a dollar or two and get a nice grab bag full of goodies. So I was browsing through the bags, preparing some kind of excuse in case someone asked why I am sifting through children's toys. And then I saw it, buried in a bag of Mcdonalds toys I saw the yellow face of a pony. I tried not to squeak with delight! I was able to move the contents in the bag around and see the face clearer. Yup, it must be from the 80's, I thought. So I grabbed my bag and checked out! 

Once in the car I ripped open the bag and set aside the plastic hello kitty, Strawberry Shortcake from 2011, the other toys, and found my pony. The hoof said 1987 so I was overjoyed. Her hair needed a good wash, and she had some markings on her back, but otherwise she looked good. Whoever had bagged these threw in a new pony too. I wasn't thrilled to own a G4 pony, but after a hair wash, she's growing on me too. After visiting Ghost of the Doll I found out she is a Year 6 Peek a  Boo Baby Pony called "Baby Snippy". Once I got back home I gave her a good bath, and a new hair 'do. I think her tail needs to be re-curled, but I am so happy with how she turned out. Her friend pony "Fluttershy" looks pretty nice too.

Pony Salon

Tonight was attempt #2 of Pony Hair styling. I managed to acquire most of these ponies from a blind grab bag on the MLP arena. I was pretty happy with who showed up! I still have to figure out everyone's name, but I'm sure they were happy to get a new 'do. I'll post pictures of the results once their hair is dry. Curling worked much better with straws and the butterfly type clips. Attempt #1 consisted of bobby pins, paper towels, safety pins, and frustration.

Overall I am happy with the results! I think I still need to work on my curling technique, but all my ponies look much nicer and they are quite happy indeed!

My Little Pony

When I was 6 I had my first slumber party with a friend of mine. We went to the local general store and rented the My Little Pony Movie. All I really remember from it is the Flutter Ponies, and the Bushwoolies. I didn't watch it again for almost 17 years, and although it was a bit funny to watch I did enjoy it. I've begun to collect a few of the G1 ponies, mostly flutter ponies, but I've found a few other ones that I find adorable!

This weekend I had a bit of time to play Pony Salon with my small collecting. Some of my ponies hair was looking quite sad so I set them all up next to the bathroom sink for a new hair do. I must admit they looked adorable looking up at me expectantly, waiting to be pampered. My attempts at pony curls were only partially successful. Since I didn't take a picture I plan on it next time! Until then here is a newly styled Fizzy and Rose Dust, both of who had their hair done.
