Thrift finds the last month or two

[Shy Violet]

I often get discouraged all those trips to the thrift store and coming home empty handed. Yesterday I had a pretty good day of finds and decided to pull out all my finds for the past month or 2 and take a group photo. Lots of non pony items too but I have a few collections that I hunt for. Nothing has been cleaned up yet, I think a spa day is in order.    The highlights for me are finally finding a Baby Blossom in the wild! I've found multiples of the other babies but never her and I refused to pay ebay prices and shipping for her. I'm so happy to find the pony carriage!! That's one thing missing from my childhood collection, just need to find the umbrella now. Silky Mane (LLL Horse), Shy Violet and the Strawberry Shortcake sheet are also favorite finds. Everything is wonderful though and it's a big pile of happy! Thanks for looking and good luck on your thrifting adventures!

You just have to be at the thrift store at the right time to scoop up someone's childhood collection! I collect several lines too so this picture is drool worthy! Congrats on the stunning haul!

Oh cool! I wish the thrift stores around here were that pony filled!

[Shy Violet]

Thanks everyone These were not from one haul, these were 2 months worth of hunting a few times a week. Some items did look like they came from the same childhood collections. The Rainbow Brite dolls were together and some of the ponies were found together. Lots of days I find nothing so don't give up, you really have to go often to find things. I have lots of competition here.

Congrats on the finds but may I ask what kind of plush are those big white unicorns?

Right?! I found it in the pet section too! I almost never go over there and I happened to walk by and see it.

They're Puffalumps! I actually have 3 of that unicorn now since I also have my childhood unicorn. But I couldn't leave them behind, it was one of my favorite toys. I also have a pegasus packed away and they both come in another color I found out so I'll have to be on the hunt for the other colors. There's other animals too.

OOOOH happy hunting!    Congrats!  I haven't been thrifting in weeks!

Thanks! I went a little stretch without hunting and now I'm making up for it, lol. Hope you get out soon too and find some goodies

Thanks - last time I went was last month, as it was the day for the 30% donation cards to expire.  I bought a bunch of new work clothes but haven't had the spare funds to buy toys.

It's amazing how much you can find at thrift stores if you are persistant.  You have some lovely ponies and other toys there.  I hope your good luck continues
