EPIC start to the New Year!!!! (pic heavy)
« on: January 21, 2012, 11:19:45 PM »
Ok... so it’s been a bit pricey, but the start of my pony year couldn’t have been better!!!


Not only did I just pass the 100 mark as far as numbers in my collection...


...But I got my first Nirvana! Here she is! Italian Surprise! Isn’t she pretty?

I did an art trade for her :) Here’s the commission I did:

But it gets better! Surprise unexpectedly got joined by another Italian! Here she is buddying up with her new friend, Confetti  :) She’s so gorgeous, and has automatically plonked herself near the top of my favorites list!

And it keeps going! In and around the same pony packed fortnight, I scored (to my astoundment) my topmost grails!!! I couldn’t believe it when they arrived, and they are so gorgeous! Never in a million years did I think I would ever get Hopscotch and her baby here in little ‘ol NZ!!

I’m in love... but even cooler, they can join other UK friends in another unexpected New Year surprise - my brand new (second hand) display cabinet!!!! (now my ponies are free from wrestling in a crammed box :) ) It’s ugly, it’s retro, it’s got cool curved glass sides and more importantly doors to keep the little mini-mes from grubbying up my gals! Everyone is so happy! (except maybe the said mini-mes who would love nothing better than to kiss and cuddle and have tea parties with said vintage gals...)

My other pony purchases alongside Hopscotch also helped me complete some sets, notably a couple of my absolute faves, the TAF’s! Welcome (finally!) to the herd, Sugarberry and Merriweather!!! Oh! How elusive you’ve been! See if you can find them in my happy pony display ;)




Ahh... pony heaven!


Thank you so much to the collectors I obtained my new girls from!

Congrats on getting Hopscotch and her baby.  They are two of my very favourite ponies.  Your display cabinet looks great.  It has good visibility and will keep your collection dust free :)

I love how white your Italians are!

And Hopscotch is so pretty, I love her colours!

Yay for your glass cabinets, I only use glass cabinets for my ponies, I hate when dust gets to them! Well, it does even in the cabinet, but much less  ;)

Yah!  :biggrin:   Thanks everyone!  I'm so stoked with my new girls, and luuuurve having all my ponies in the cabinet (thank goodness I have an understanding hubby!!). I hated having them all crammed in the box, and oh! Their hair! The way it'd get messed up and out of shape!! So, having them out on display is not only a huge relief, but so rewarding! My collection is pretty modest really, compared to some of the amazing ones I know people here have(!) but I'm so proud of it  :)
