Thrift store hunting with TwistedRiver.

[Hannah66665]

Last Friday a friend of ours was nice enough to drive us to a Savers and another thrift store on our way to pick up my kitten from the vets (she's fine, we just had her fixed)

Wasn't the biggest haul (I swear they only have ponies when we don't have the money) but it wasn't too bad either. 

Of course with shopping at savers, we got some weird and random items as well... some of which I didn't get pictures of. Excuse the poor lighting and tiny space - it was nighttime when I took these plus my room is a mess.

First - ponies!

As far as I can tell, those apples don't actually go to AJ but they happened to be mixed in one of the savers bags and I thought they fit well.

Then we get to the fakies - weren't very many this time.

Can anyone ID this tiny little flocked guy? I thought he was a filly princess but there's no crown.

Also got these cuties:

And even a gorgeous Build a Bear that looked brand new for only 1$. 

Then there's an assortment of cute and random things including a calico critter for our collection. (our other huge obsession other than ponies)

There were a lot of other oddities and some cute items. Including a robotic looking toy horse that my sister is trying to ID. Didn't get any pictures yet, though.

Before we moved a couple years ago, we lived ten minutes away from a thriftstore. Now, we're lucky if we can go to one a couple times a year at best. Neither of us can drive and the family car was wrecked last october.

Some nice little finds there! I bet you'll have fun going through them all and doing their hair and everything! It's always the way isn't it? You find ponies when you don't have much money.I love the plsuh bedtime Care bear too & I notice you got  a small plastic Care Bear. it's great when you have days like that isn't it?!

The flocked little horse/pony if I'm correct it looks like a Pony in my Pocket figure. It was a small toy line that was spawned off of Puppy in my Pocket. I have one I found a thrift store a few years back that is similar to that except the only difference mine is brown. Also you had some very great finds congrats.

Congrats on your new ponies

Any pony find is a good find in my books!  Congrats on that tidy looking Care Bear too

Nice finds! Finding ponies in the wild is always exciting. Congratulations on your new ponies - so much fun cleaning them up and making them pretty again

[Hervoyel]

Wow, you found so many things!   

[Strawberry Swirl]

Ooh, I recognize a Rainbow Flash! I actually got mine from Saver's too.

I hear people have a lot of good luck there. The last time I went there I found at least 15 G3's in one sitting(with a couple of G4's, so around 20 pones in all).

Wow what a fun haul of items, congrats!

Congrats on your finds!! I just wanna hug that Bedtime Bear!

[TwistedRiver]

I still can't believe we had as good of luck as we did as far as ponies are concerned, and since Bedtime and Grumpy were always my favorite Care Bears I was very excited to find Bedtime in such good condition, (he talks too!)
Once we have heat again so I can be sure the ponies will dry instead of freeze I'm going to have to give them all a spa trip, since I've always loved doing that with ponies even when I was a little girl.
