Title: Hello from the UK!
Post by: AliceM16 on June 19, 2019, 04:54:22 AM: Hi there! My name’s Alice. I live in the UK and I love learning about restoring ponies - currently working on my childhood G1s, about to try rehairing for the first time! I grew up with G3s but I had a small collection of G1s from thrift stores, and they’re my favourite. They have so much character!

I just recently learnt that there was a reason the G1 Bouquet I had as a kid made weird clicking noises when I turned her neck! :lol: Luckily, her mechanism still works, and all the hair I never knew existed is still in perfect condition! Discovering stuff like this has been awesome :biggrin:

Post by: AliceM16 on June 23, 2019, 03:59:40 AM: Hi all! Thanks for stopping by to say hello :) It’s great to meet you all!

The Brush ‘n’ Grows are a little strange but I love them!

I’m actually from Yorkshire too, same as Tracks! I live in Yorkshire but study at a University close to London. Home for summer currently :biggrin: Awesome to know that there are other UK collectors (from the North!) on here!

Brush and Grows are awesome. I love that set :D Congrats on discovering Bouquet's secret!

Awesome! Really cool that there’s so many collectors living nearby. I had no idea that there were this many of us!

Hi Artemesia! I’m loving getting back into it too! :frolic:
