I have been extremely lazy with posting images of my finds this past month >.< This is hardly a proper show-off but I know that if I procrastinate on it any longer, it'll never get done! So anyways, here are all my misc. pony finds/buys over the last couple months <3

Interesting fact; that bigger Twilight Plush is handmade! I thought she was rather odd looking when I couldn't find a tag or evidence of one (at first I thought she was a clever fakie plush), but then I realized all her seams were hand-stitched. It's especially noticeable on her legs and wings. Very neat find for $3!

The rest were purchased from the Dollar General just down the road! They still have quite a few of the Wave 22 Blind Bags left, so I've been dropping in every so often and picking a couple up. So far I haven't gotten any doubles, which has been nice! The Butterscotch Retro Fashem was also found at another local Dollar General.

I'm guessing they never sold and nobody bothered to take them off the shelf, so they've been there a good 9 years at this point >u<

As for upcoming pony news, I have a G1 Cuddles on the way here! I got her cheap off eBay after I watched the poor gal sit there forever. I couldn't resist giving her a home <3 I also have some exciting news! The owner of my local antique mall readily agreed to give me first notice whenever anyone brings ponies in, and she has a lady who says she has a bunch of ponies (including G1s!) at her home. The lady said she'd be happy to dig them out and bring them in so I can buy them from her. Hopefully I'll be getting a call about that soon!
Tomorrow I plan to go to some garage sales for pony-hunting, so wish me luck!
UPDATE 9/21:Pony hunting was a success today!
It would seem I have a lot of things to show off this week! I went to some garage sales, a flea market, and two antique stores today! Here are my finds from those, plus a little pony mail brag towards the end <3

I've never really found anything there, so imagine my surprise when I saw that lovely rainbow peeking out from behind a Sesame Street puzzle box! $10 is more than I would usually pay for a puzzle, but I couldn't pass it up. The puzzle itself is in pristine condition and the only wear and tear is on the outer edges of the box.

loginAnd last but not least...Cuddles! I bought her off eBay for $6 and free shipping. I'm pretty sure she was priced low because of all the marks she had on her NDS. Luckily I was correct in thinking they were all surface marks, and they came right out! She's a bit tipsy but otherwise lovely with only one little pink mark on her shoulder that wouldn't come out. I tried to preserve her factory curls, but her hair was just too gross not to wash so unfortunately they were partially messed up.
