Ok... so it’s been a bit pricey, but the start of my pony year couldn’t have been better!!!
Not only did I just pass the 100 mark as far as numbers in my collection...
...But I got my first Nirvana! Here she is! Italian Surprise! Isn’t she pretty?

I did an art trade for her :) Here’s the commission I did:

But it gets better! Surprise unexpectedly got joined by another Italian! Here she is buddying up with her new friend, Confetti :) She’s so gorgeous, and has automatically plonked herself near the top of my favorites list!

And it keeps going! In and around the same pony packed fortnight, I scored (to my astoundment) my topmost grails!!! I couldn’t believe it when they arrived, and they are so gorgeous! Never in a million years did I think I would ever get Hopscotch and her baby here in little ‘ol NZ!!

I’m in love... but even cooler, they can join other UK friends in another unexpected New Year surprise - my brand new (second hand) display cabinet!!!! (now my ponies are free from wrestling in a crammed box :) ) It’s ugly, it’s retro, it’s got cool curved glass sides and more importantly doors to keep the little mini-mes from grubbying up my gals! Everyone is so happy! (except maybe the said mini-mes who would love nothing better than to kiss and cuddle and have tea parties with said vintage gals...)

My other pony purchases alongside Hopscotch also helped me complete some sets, notably a couple of my absolute faves, the TAF’s! Welcome (finally!) to the herd, Sugarberry and Merriweather!!! Oh! How elusive you’ve been! See if you can find them in my happy pony display ;)
Ahh... pony heaven!
Thank you so much to the collectors I obtained my new girls from!

Congrats on getting Hopscotch and her baby. They are two of my very favourite ponies. Your display cabinet looks great. It has good visibility and will keep your collection dust free :)
-
Congrats on your lovely new ponies :D your collection looks great, and I love the vintage cabinet you found for them, looks perfect for ponies ^^
-
They are amazing! I love your Italians! :) xxx
-
I love how white your Italians are!
And Hopscotch is so pretty, I love her colours!
Yay for your glass cabinets, I only use glass cabinets for my ponies, I hate when dust gets to them! Well, it does even in the cabinet, but much less ;)
-
Big congrats, that is one awesome collection you have! They look great in that display cabinet.
Your artwork is beautiful too :)
-
Wow, all of those are so lovely. Congratulations on the two Italians and for the baby and mom. :cheer:
-
AwesOme!!! Congrats!!!
-
Amazing ponies! & the cabinet certainly makes a wonderful display <3
-
Wow, your collection is stunning!!! :) Congrats on the beautiful new additions!
Looks like an awesome trade, I love your art!
-
Yah! :biggrin: Thanks everyone! I'm so stoked with my new girls, and luuuurve having all my ponies in the cabinet (thank goodness I have an understanding hubby!!). I hated having them all crammed in the box, and oh! Their hair! The way it'd get messed up and out of shape!! So, having them out on display is not only a huge relief, but so rewarding! My collection is pretty modest really, compared to some of the amazing ones I know people here have(!) but I'm so proud of it :)
-
Congratulations! :cheer:
-
Wauw congrats on your Italians! They are so white really stuning.
Your display cabine looks really great the ponies fit in really well.
Love your collection haha!

What an awesome way to start the new year! Major congrats on such beautiful ponies, Hopscotch and her baby are simply amazing!
-
Gorgeous ponies!!!
-
Lovely ponies! And what a beautiful commission you did. Congrats! :D
-
Huge congrats on all those super ponies and the case. Though I am sure the little mini does not mean any harm. After all they are toys and that is how she sees them. I bet she has some to play with though and just wants yours. LOL
-
WOW :O they are SO mint and gorgeous!! I LOVE your display :) massive congrats to you, a very epic start to the new year indeed
-
Amazing!! I just love it!
Congrats!
-
Lovely ponies! And what a beautiful commission you did. Congrats! :D
Thank you :) Getting back into illustration has just been a recent thing, and ponies have been awesome motivators!!
And yeah, Diamond, the mini-mes don't mean any harm :) They adore the ponies, and visit the cabinet frequently during the day. Every now and then I'll let a pony out for a quick kiss and cuddle. If I had a dollar for every kiss CocoBerry has had..... ;)
-
Congrats! I love your cabinet!
-
OMG confetti! *grabby hands* awesome!!
I love your art work! I'd be tempted to commission one :) I will PM you about a commision :) (I have a 31yr old arabian horse and I've love his portrait)
-
Congrats on finding those ponies. I love your cabinet too !!
