Little back story, and I promise to keep it brief. In 2012, I came across some of my childhood ponies during a difficult time in my life. To help distract myself, I started to rebuild my childhood herd through eBay. Good or bad, it did not stop there and I continued to buy other ponies. Then just as quickly as I started, I stopped. Good thing because I was paying some silly prices; didn't know any better or just didn't care.
Fast forward to summer 2015. Once again, going through some difficult times...and once again, I turn to buying ponies. I realize I have a
problem/addiction; probably spending more in 18 months than what some of you make in a year
The worst part was that I purchase these ponies and then just put them in a bins which were stored in closets. My husband referred to me as an hoarder and he was probably right.
2017 and I am finally in control of my spending. I no longer have the desire to try to collect every pony released in the US and have done an excellent job of resisting the temptation to buy Nirvana ponies. I like to look, and sometimes ponder. I have bought a few mlp here and there, but nothing like before.
I am still spending money on my collection, and it does add up, but in an indirect way that I feel ok with. My money now goes to the displaying of them, particularly playsets. I have finally found my hobby in the creating of accessories and purchasing current toy lines to accessorize my collection.
UK kitchen. I did not create anything here, just purchased items from current toy lines and then added the table and chairs from Sweet Shop. I take it back,I did make the wall/divider

Custom Candy Parlor. I bought this off of etsy a little while ago. I first saw it here under a thread about customized playsets and fell in love. When I finally decided to get it out on display, I no longer really cared for the accessories that came with it (from the Sylvania Families toy line) and decided to make my own.
