Kenner Forum Holiday Swap

Since I started collecting LPS I've been intrigued and haunted by the unreleased Country Fun Pets Families, including the Puppy, Kitty and Squirrel Families. I started looking for baity pieces so I could create this set for someone else who also  fell in love with this set. Since we just had the Holiday Swap over at the Kenner forum, I figured it would be the perfect addition to her collection. I would love to try remaking the squirrels since the eyes threw me for a loop, but otherwise I'm super happy with how they turned out!

I also completed my cards for the Holiday  Card Swap. 

Along with the custom set I made a card to match.

And here is my swap package all ready to go! I had a great time putting it together!

Puppies in my Pocket

Lately eBay shopping has been a bit slow. I did manage to win a few auctions for some vintage Puppy in my Pocket sets. I'm most excited about the Poodle family with mommy Blanche. I had this set as a kid and absolutely loved it! I couldn't resist putting in a bid, there was no competition so it's being added to my collection now. 

I also won a few extra puppies, and finally there is a picture of my puppy in my pocket collection. I have more in storage,but these are the only pups here.

 

Ruby Pony Ribbons

I finally had a chance to go to Michael's Crafts this weekend to search for purple ribbon for my Ruby Pony. Since Ruby if very hard to come by, I've come to terms with the fact that I may never find her original ribbons. So I found something that I think looks just as lovely! I bought a whole role so if they come undone I can just cut a new pair. Here is my plucky little pony: 

Now I just have to find a stable sticker and her blanket, it may take years, but that's ok! On my Christmas Break I plan on photographing all my Fillies together. Right now most of my ponies are in storage. But I'm super excited to finally put all the pieces I've acquired together. 

In other news at the Littlest Pet Shop Forum I am hosting the Holiday Swap. I'm super excited to be putting together my swap partners box. I can't give away any hints, but I've been hard at work trying to create something special. 

Stickers and Ponies

It's been awhile since I've posted but a few new packages arrived last week. I finally got my hands on the Merlin Littlest Pet Shop Sticker Book. It's the German version but I am super excited about it. It's in beautiful condition. Now I just need to finish collecting all the stickers.

I also found the pink variation of one of the fairy winkles sets.

Another Amber arrived and I figured her and Runy should meet.

Although I try to collect only vintage toys I am quite in love with the Lalaloopsy Target exclusive sets. Here is the Halloween set, so cute!

Snuggle Bunny and Dazzling Hair Pets

I've been on a MOC kick lately and was super excited to find an MOC set of the Dazzling Hair Pets Dress Up Palace. 

Then I stumbled upon this MOC Snuggle Bunny set from Emery's Emporium. When it arrived and I opened it, I felt a wave of nostalgia. I had this bunny as a kid, and it was just like I was four and picked it up on a trip out. I'm so happy to add this set to my collection. 

Swinging Star Sea Monkey

Last spring I won a giant lot on eBay. It cost me a substantial amount of money, and when it arrived it was in a huge box and took hours to go through and sort. It felt like christmas. And in that box happened to be three of the merpet sets. At the time I had barely seen them so I was thrilled to find them complete and in such nice condition. Flash forward and now I've managed to find another one mint on card. I couldn't pass this up when I saw it. As a kid the little mermaid was my favorite movie so I love all thing under the sea. This set is the Swinging Star Sea Monkey, who comes with a cute shovel, a smiling crab, and he swings on a piece of blue coral. These sets are cool because they come with Polly pocket like cases. You can just pack them up and take them anywhere. 

Lil' Brush 'n Grow Filly

Since I started collecting Vintage Littlest pet shop I've heard about the elusive Ruby Pony. I've seen her in a few auctions that all went well beyond my price range. I've seen her sell a few times way below what she normally goes for, and have been heartbroken to have missed her. She is a set I never actually believed I would find. I am so grateful to the wonderful girl who sold her to me. Her hair decoration is MIA at the moment but I'm hoping it will be found. But here is my very own Ruby Pony.

Right now she's missing her blanket, hair decoration, bows, and the stable sticker. It will probably take me ages to find all these pieces but I am so happy with my very own Lil brush n grow Filly!

Ruby had a lovely bath and had her hair done.

Ruby's hair decoration has arrived!
