Well, not quite complete because although I have 3 name tags (Bluebelle, Snuzzle, Butterscotch) I would like lots more!  Does anyone know how the name tags were sold, was it three per set at random?  I have collected the accessories over time. I am not sure about the brush I think it is too dark pink to be the right one!  What do you think?  The blanket is reproduction, I made it myself, but the ribbon is original.

I think it's lovely!  Brings back some childhood memories for me.

Wonderful and your Butterscotch looks so nice and gorgeous!

I have no idea about how the name tags were sold, but I have some spares if you're interested?

Oh I love this playset and yours looks to be in great shape. In the US the Pretty Parlor always came with eight name tags for the original six + Peachy + Lemon Drop. In the UK I believe the name tags changed with time, and sometimes came with names on the front and back? I used to own reproduction Grooming Parlour name cards that included Cherries Jubilee, Tootsie, Lickety-Split, Posey, Starshine, Skydancer, Windy, Moonstone, Sunlight, Parasol, Peachy, and I think Majesty. There is also another UK set that includes Bubbles, Seashell, Applejack, and Bow-Tie. Hopefully someone will come along with more info (or you can post about it in the Corral).

Again, congrats!

Oh yes please! I will pm you tomorrow

Thanks everypony! The three I have so far have names on just one side. I will post about them in the corral and maybe think about making some reproductions using the restoration project. Exciting!!

I love the set up and the repro blanket with the bow thank you for sharing!

I was really excited when I got the grooming parlour (as an adult collector!) too.  It is such a neat, iconic set.  Congrats

Congrats on your first completed play set! I've recently acquired a parlour playset too but it needs massive restoration; thinking of painting it pink!

Congrats I have most of this set myself.

That's just it, I love the fact that it all closes up neatly with both ponies inside and Twinkles in her basket!  I guess they were so popular for a reason

Thanks! I have a spare too with cracks and no stickers etc. I was thinking about whether to turn it into a repro of one of the variations or sell it on... decisions decisions! If you did paint it do you know what primer you would use? I wish it were easier to reverse the door, then I could have two next to each other like a kind of double Grooming Parlour!
