Recent pony purchases - Mostly thrift finds, G1 to G4

[SaraMari]

Hello everyone,

I'm basically a lurker at the Arena, but I have a build up of pony purchases I'd really like to share. Actually these ponies were purchased July '11 through January '12. Most of them are thrift store finds, but I also bought some from fellow members and other online venues while I was in Japan this summer. Not being able to pony hunt this summer made me kinda desperate haha, but my mom very kindly looked for them when I was out of country.

Well let's start with my G4 gets:

I got the McD's Pinky Pie at the thrift shop, otherwise everything else is new Plumsweet, Blossomforth, and Honeybuzz were Christmas gifts. Snowcatcher, Feathermay and Dewdrop Dazzle I got before I went to Japan (I think...) I got the Toys R Us "blind bag" ponies two days ago when my mom suggested I get them as I can't find the blind bags in stock around me. And finally the CMC set was purchased yesterday.

Now onto G1....

Well that's it, there were a few not pictured like G3.5s and some others that got mixed up. Sorry that they are not washed and styled in all these months you'd think I would have gotten to that...but no haha. Looking at these G3s again makes me think how super cute they are again, I should try finding more Thanks for looking!
