I won the lace auction listed below So it'll be very pretty soon I also recently bought a Baby Princess Sparkle to go along with Baby Glory Thought everypony would like to see the before the lace pic
 
 

I just won a pretty little buggy - http://www.ebay.com/itm/261009164140?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I cannot express how THRILLED I am to get it and from a fellow Arena member too!! I've been wanting one of these buggies since I saw one a few months ago on here
 
I was thinking I would customize to my own tastes, since I plan on keeping it forever and ever <3 I looked up vintage lace and discovered this  http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-5-WIDE-LACE-TRIM-RIBBON-5-YDS-15-FT-BEAUTIFUL-WHITE-GOLD-/270966925078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f16e32716&autorefresh=true
 
(I checked the seller prior to bidding, on why 99.1%, USPS suck at shipping tubaware btw for this woman, or her packing skills suck who knows)
 
But the ribbon wouldnt be perminate, I plan on threading streach cord thru the lace if I win it that way I can change it

Oh wow!!! That lace is absolutely beautiful! I say a big fat YES to customizing the buggy as it's in bad shape anyway... you can make it really lovely!!

Yea I plan on touching up the tires so they all match. I wasnt sure if it would match the buggy though, but I would totally use the lace for maybe a dress for a baby pony if I could find the right material Then make a cute little baby for the buggy

I think that is a fantastic idea and that lace is beautiful.

Nice buy there. 
Remember, you can restore the buggy (brighten it up and remove the yellowing, more info here: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,294297.0.html).

I was eyeing that auction too! I remember the buggy from childhood, so cute.

after i got me a buggy it didnt have lace, so i looked for one that looked right. now that its glued into place on both the umbrella and buggy, it looks complete.

Thanks mlp4me for the info. I'll be sure to try it
I hope you were able or are able to find another buggy relcelestia, a better conditioned one. It's going to take some work but thats the fun of it.
I showed my mom it and she loved the idea of being able to buy multiple laces and changing them over time i.e. special holidays or seasons
