Auction clean-up brag~

[Cross Stitch]

I got to experience my first pony spa session recently! I bought a few lots of ponies for really cheap who'd been kept in pretty bad shape, and I found some real treasures in there of ponies I was looking for, like Waterfire and Whisawhirl, who've been on my wishlist for a while!

Some just needed their hair unmatted and cleaned, but you should have seen all the grime and grossness I got off of Cotton Candy, Pina Colada, and Snuzzle. You wouldn't have wanted to touch poor Cotton Candy when I started! And Waterfire had pen markings all over her that took forever to get off.

There was some stuff that couldn't be salvaged (poor Waterfire's ear, hooves, and snout are all chewed up, and Sunny Daze's magnet was cut out of her hoof), but otherwise I think it went pretty well! They're all dried up now and most of them have soft, flowing manes again! Pretty Pop even got her bubblegum smell back once we'd washed out all the mustiness~.

This is all of them! (Ignoring Minty, Denim Blue, and the G4s of course, who just got to get their hair washed too because why not?)

Nothing more satisfying then an en-masse pony spa! Waiting for them to dry then taking all the bands off the next day....super satisfying

Pony spa day is always fun, they are pretty!

It looks like you have had a great time tidying all of your ponies up!  I always love ponies that are really clean with silky hair.  Congrats on your finds

Congrats on your finds but be careful with over washing, pony tails are held in with metal washers, even some of the early G3's so you can get rust and such in there from too many washes.

Yeah, I know about the washers. I usually just wash my ponies once, to get their hair nice and take off any surface dirt they accumulated in their old homes. After that, they go into a glass display case, so they don't get dirty again and won't need a second wash~.

Beautiful collection! I just adore pony spa day; it takes forever but it's so soothing!

Oh, I love Pony Spa in small doses. LOL. Had to do 50+ a couple weekends ago, though. That was murder. >.<

Your ponies are beautiful!
