Hello from Barcelona
« on: July 18, 2018, 02:09:51 AM »
Hello everybody, I’m new in this forum. I collect G1 since last year when I was walking outside a Flea Market and suddenly saw a figure that was very familiar to me. It was a Cherry Treats Pony like the one I had when I was a child! I took her home with her market companion who was a Sherbet. Both where in apparently bad shape but following the instructions of your wonderful forum soon they where nice and clean!! Since that day I began my collection and I go to the Flea Market many days with the illusion to find more. Once I found a Mainsail too but here in Spain G1 are difficult to find at a goog price. That’s my story! Thank you all and sorry if sometimes my english is not very good  but it’s not my mother language.

Hi, welcome to the Arena! Finding G1s in the wild is awesome, it was how I started collecting too :) Cherry Treats is one of my favorite ponies, she is just so pretty! The Pony Corral is a great place for tips on cleaning and restoration. I look forward to seeing you around, enjoy your stay here!

Thank you very much! Cherry treats is very special to me, she brings me a lot of good memories! I have a Princess Royal Blue from ebay, I bought her because I wanted to fix her, she had the hair and the tinsel all disheveled and was really cheap. I fixed her hair wetting it with softener and ironing it. And I have an Up Up and Away, a Painting Time, a Cherries Jubilee and an Italian Peachy from a bait lot that I bought because I wanted to learn how to reroot and retouch the cutie marks. And that’s it, this is my collection for now!   :)

Thank you very much to everybody! There are some flea markets in Barcelona but they are not open 7 days a week, they have concrete days to open. For example I know that Els Encants are opened Monday , Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, others opens only on Sunday etc... My advice is search online first to find the list of flea markets and the days that each one opens. The city council is promoting the markets and restoring them! Good luck!!
