Good Luck at the Flea Market! :-D
« on: June 30, 2017, 09:39:38 PM »
Went to the flea market on Thursday with a couple of friends! We were a bit disappointed at first; It was a very windy day, so not many vendors were out and about. But then! My mom was the big hero of the day!

She lead me to a booth where the vendor was just packing up, and sitting in a bag on the ground was a bag of ponies!! I went to pay for them, and the vendor said she had some more in her car. I swear, it was like a magician's scarf; she just kept pulling out pony after pony!

Here they are, after being cleaned and groomed!

Baby Glory, Morning Glory, Mirror Mirror, and Baby Stripes!

I think the coating on Mirror Mirror's symbol has come off; should I do anything to protect it, or leave it be? Besides that, these four are in pretty nice condition! :-D

Seashell, Dancing Butterflies, Rosedust, and Lemon Cake!

Seashell has some head and body mismatch, but I'm just excited to add a sitting pony to my herd! I also tried to keep what remained of Lemon Cake's curl, but her hair was pretty matted. I do like how her forelock wound up, though! :-P

Baby Gusty, Baby Splashes, Baby Cotton Candy, and Baby Lofty!

You can see the remains of some sort of nail polish on Baby Splashes hooves! It was weird; kind of like gel, it peeled right off. I love her diaper design! Lil duckies :-P

Baby Luckyleaf, Skydancer, Cool Breeze, Crunch Berry, and Baby Dots 'n Hearts!

Crunch Berry and Baby Dots both came without their tails; Dots is currently sporting a spare white tail that matches her forelock! Skydancer's mane and tail are in pretty good condition, but her plastic is pretty icky! :-P Mold stains, mysterious green splotches, head and body mismatch, plasticizer leak. I've disinfected her and given her a surface cleaning, but I'm going to have to research a bit more to see if there's anything else to be done for her.

I think Cool Breeze or Baby Luckyleaf are the two I'm most excited about! Neither were on my wish list, but I think they're just darling!


These came with Baby Glory and Baby Lofty! I'm a big fan of frogs, so i was pumped that one of the outfits had it's little froggy friend still. :-D I am wondering though, did these pocket pals get mixed up with their original sets? The picture on the wiki places the frog with the sunsuit outfit. Did the babies trade pals with their friends sometime, or were pocket pals random? I'm very curious!

Last surprise! At a separate booth, look who I found! Her packaging is pretty roughed up, but it's just so cool to have found her! :-D

Wow so many great finds! Your mom was the savior of the day certainly =)
Your Mirror Mirror is so pretty! Mine has one symbol pretty scrapped off. I'm thinking about repainting it too ^^

Wow, that's awesome! Big congrats! :cheer:
But there has been a mix-up with the pocket pals. The frog did indeed come with the sunsuit. The teddy bear came with the sleepwear and the lion suit came with an orange cat.

Thank you, everyone!


Hmm, I wonder when the pocket pals got mixed up! If a child decided the froggy better suited the sleepwear costume, or if the seller just had a spare!

Baby Lucky Leaf and Baby Stripes sure were nice to get! All the others look pretty good too. Congrats!  And that little froggy friend really is a cutie!   :frog:  :heart:

I love that the first vendor just kept pulling out ponies for you! I have dreams about something like that happening to me, lol.  That is a really cool stamp.  I have the Cotton Candy, Moondancer and Bowtie versions but I've never seen Skydancer before.  Major congrats :frolic:
