Adopted my coworker's childhood herd!

[buttonso]

Ever since I got back into ponies, my best work friend has been patiently listening to my chronicles of fixing up my childhood ponies. Awhile back she told me that the next time she went home to her dad's place, she'd try to find her own childhood ponies and that I could have them if I wanted them-- she was worried they'd end up going to a garage sale if she left them with her dad, but she didn't really have an interest in keeping them herself.  Well, this past weekend she went home and got the ponies, and now I have a whole bunch of ponies added to my salon to-do pile!!!

Coworker had several adorable baby ponies I secretly would have loved to have too, but she kept those for herself as they had the most emotional nostalgia for her, so of course I couldn't be greedy when she let me have all these for free-- some of which were ponies I've been wanting! Plus a couple really cute fakies and a Cabbage Patch pony! And two lunch boxes, one vintage, one retro!

We had a lot of fun going through the box-- she herself hadn't looked at these ponies in years-- and discussing our childhood pony memories.  A few of these are duplicates of ones I already have, she said I could sell/trade them if I want to but I don't think I will.... it feels wrong somehow. 

So yeah.. I promise this is my last brag for awhile, I am not in a place to buy ponies right now, so I was very happy to have these come into my hands. 

ETA:

Please, let us know who are in the box.

I'm not lucky with my friends' ponies.

Oh yeah, who did you all get it!?

Haha my inherent laziness kept me from going through the box and identifying everyone, but, I finally have so..... looks like we have:

Baby Graffiti
Baby Shaggy
Baby Sweet Stuff
Boysenberry Pie
Bride Pony
Happy Hugs
Hula Hula
Little Tabby
Little Whiskers
Merry Go Round: Sparkler and Flower Bouquet

ALSO a few fakies (including a very darling Cabbage Patch pony) and a Mattel Pretty Kitty/Puppy AND a Lil Litters kitty. And this weird mermaid fairy doll thing I haven't looked up yet.

So thats it, unless I missed someone ^^*

What an amazing and kind friend!
I recognize that blue playpen - I had (or still have, not sure) one in pink with the bottom covered by a large sticker, that it came with.

What a great collection! It's been a while since I was able to get any childhood ponies from friends (I always have this experience with people -- they find out about my collection and reveal their childhood ponies -- but they don't always give them to me for free!). My cousin gave me her childhood ponies back when we were still pretty young, but she had some baby ponies that she held out, too. Those ponies became semi-grails for me just because I hadn't gotten them.
