Warning: This post is pic heavy!Phew! I've fallen waaay behind on my brags and I really need to catch up now.
My first finds of the year came from the local Flea Market from my usual toy guy. He always has ponies, be it fakies or real My Little Ponies. This particular morning, I was feeling pretty lucky and when I got to his stall, I realized my gut was right... again!

Chief was the first one I saw, standing alone on top of a mountain of toys. After digging through the piles, I found the other five girls. The worst out of the bunch is Sweet Tooth, who has black sharpie all over her back side.
And Sprinkles is a bit of an odd ball. She only has one row of hair. Sorry, couldn't get a decent picture of it.

This last Tuesday, my boyfriend and I drove up to Turlock to check out the Flea Market there. I hadn't had any G1 luck there is quite some time, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Several of the first stalls we came to had G3s, but I only had $5 to spend and wanted to hold out in hopes I'd get lucky. About halfway through the lot, we came to a guy who's well known for having TONS of toys. I saw the pile of colored ponies and dived straight in to find...

Lovebeam! And Firefly and Toe Dancer too! I was so thrilled. I snatched them up along with a G3 Cheerilee #2 II and Garden Wishes for future customs. All for $3.50! I was so thrilled.
As we were heading towards the exit, my boyfriend spotted another big toy stall, so we headed over to check it out. I was scanning through the piles and boxes but didn't see anything that stuck out. Right as I was about to say I was done looking, my boyfriend smiled, pointing at a small blue tote under a table and said, "Someone is asking to go home with us." I looked to where he was pointing and my heart skipped a beat...

Daddy Apple Delight!
I fished him out of the tub and paid $1 for him. I held him the whole way home, just thinking about how I almost left him behind. He cleaned up beautifully too! I was so happy and I have my boyfriend to thank for the sharp eyes.

Next is the custom AlexK made for me in exchange for some G4s. I was so excited and couldn't wait to see what she would look like and she came out more beautiful than I ever imagined!

And lastly... My Collection! I've never taken full pictures of my collection and it was quite a challenge getting them out of storage and setting them up for pictures. I had more than I thought!

Here's the whole lot. I know it's not as big as other members' but I'm quite proud of it.

The merchandise! That's my lunchbox from when I was a kid and it still has the thermos inside too. The shirt is part of a PJ set (shorts aren't visible, sorry).
