A beautiful prize, congrats on winning!

Congratulations on all of them, especially the Dream Beauty. Good on you for rescuing that Powder, too.

Oh wow that's amazing.

That looks cute and the play set part is cute too.

So, I got two pony things in on Friday.

The first was this set of Starlight Studios repro flutter pony wings. Been eyeing them for ages, and finally sprung for some.

And I'm very glad I did. I gave them to Rosedust, and my word do they look stunning! Definitely need to get another dozen sets.

Here's a comparison with the homemade pair she previously had.

The other thing... is big.

I occasionally browse for Paradise Estate listings to wishlist, with the faint hope of somehow finding a relative bargain. This time, that hope was granted: A decently-complete Paradise Estate, for $170. It was local pickup only (which I can understand with this behemoth of a playset), but the location was in a town fairly close to mine. There was the slight issue of the fact that I still don't drive yet (despite being 32) and have to rely on others for rides, but thankfully the seller was very accommodating. They were happy to drive it to my place and drop it off, since it was only a short trip. And so I bought it, they dropped it off Friday evening, and I am very happy. I've been wanting Paradise Estate ever since finding out about it, and now I finally do. It was worth both the money and having to rearrange my shelves a bit to make room to store the sections. As an added bonus, the lot included a Lullabye Nursery crib and bathtub (although strictly speaking the tub is the wrong color for the dresser and shelf in mine; anyone want to trade?)

The set is missing about half the furniture, but it was still a great deal. I am very much chuffed to have gotten my hands on it.
