Title: Hi!
Post by: hlbmlp on January 18, 2012, 08:51:21 AM: I am 20 and live near Pittsburgh Pa and in Canton Oh depending on the time of year (school...). I am an art major and own my own business selling stuffed animals (SoulStitched.etsy.com). I have so many important people in my life it would take tomes to list!

I have been collecting most of my life. I don't remember not going to yardsales and thrift stores searching for ponies.

I have all generations of ponies, but i prefer the ones from my childhood, the g1 and g2s. I will pick up a newer one for the right price or if i really like her. I dont know why i started collecting ponies, it has just been something i have always loved. I never stopped because i loved them so much and they were such a large part of my childhood.

Most of my ponies come to me in pretty bad shape, but i love restoring them. especially when i dont have to rehair them (i will do it, especially with customs, but it's a pain and i prefer to keep the original if possible.) My favorite ponies are Cherry Treats, my 7 baby surprises, Bubblefish, Tabby, and ALL of the ponies i had when i was little!
I will never give up a baby surprise. She was the only pony i dont have from my childhood. I had given her to a friend to play with before we moved and i never got her back. So i bought one, and my dad bought me one, and my grandma found the rest for christmas. I dont think she realized there were so many of one pony in the lots she bought but i dont care i love all of my surprises!!

I love hunting for ponies at garage sales too! It is surprising how many G1's still show up in these places. I hope you enjoy being part of the pony community :frolic:
