Congrats on a successful swap, HorsingAround! I love that orange guitar brush :frolic:
-
Congrats :)
-
Can we see Sweet Tune show of the guitar... please?
The letter should be arriving soon- sorry it missed the box.
I had such a hard time deciding what to send you.... Don't knock the fan! I use that fan on my desk at work it was a lifesaver when we lost our air conditioning! I love those dollar store fans- they really work (I tested itbefore I sent it).... Great for camping, work or yor table at the MLP Fair!
-
Awesome box Horsing Around! Great job Chip!

What fun! I love the guitar brushes. So silly, so great.

Chip, I will do my best digging out Sweet Tunes for a photo. She is actually packed up with the rest of the herd as I'm moving soon but I will see what I can do. :ohyeah:
No, no I wasn't making fun of the fan!!! :nope: When I wrote, "A desk fan – what a “cool” little extra!" I was making a pun, "cool" because it is a fan and that is what it is designed to do. :biggrin:
I can't wait to see the next brag!!! :)
-
Ooooh! What an awesome box! Cant wait to see more :)

Words cannot describe the AWESOMENESS of my box... A picture is worth 1000 words... right?
This UMBRELLA has to be the largest accessories I've ever seen! I have no idea how this box was within budget... package after package contained a SET COMPLETER!

Oh.my.god Chip you got SPOILED!
Who was your partner? I am so jelly of all of those accessories! Congrats!

Allow me to join the admirers of this thread. This is such a fun swap that I in a way would like to do in the future, but at the same time the shopping part scares me - I've always had trouble finding accessories here.
Words cannot describe the AWESOMENESS of my box...
^ This :drunk:

HOLY WOAH
Look at all those puppies and bunnies too :D
You are so lucky Chip!

I'm so glad that you're happy, Chip! :D I had a lot of fun shopping for you and trying to track down as many of your accessory grails as I could in the time allowed. I viewed the 'budget' as a minimum--it wouldn't have been nearly so fun if I only sent one item! :D It was fun to get to see some of your completed sets, together at last.
-
OMG :squee: That is the most epic accessory box ever :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :dropjaw: :dribble: *dies* Chip I have been SO excited for you to get this box, after I knew what was in it!!!!
Songtoisis you went above and beyond, lord knows what you spent but you certainly are a pro swapper!!! :hug: AND you get to join our exclusive 'crazy insane accessory swapper' club :P XD
I love this swap!!!! And all of you girls!!!

Amazing box you put together songtoisis! I can't wait to see who brags next!

When I took everything out of the box, I felt something pony shaped so I decided to leave it until last...
Look! It's a fuzzy one! The only flocked one I have is pink, I have never seen this one with flocking. He's adorable! :)
(He has already moved in with his six friends.)

Today, I got my accessories swap package! My partner turned out to be the incomparable HorsingAround. There is no smiley (or string of them) that could *possibly* convey my gratitude and my excitement to get the gifts I did. She went over and above and beyond any expectation POSSIBLE and I'm just, in awe.
(Spoiler alert: I am incapable of a succinct thank you post. And, I cannot get everything in one photo. Forgive me. :cool:)
The box arrived, labeled "Handle with Care" with a big foot print squished right on top of it. :huh: Fortunately, everything inside was in perfect shape. I didn't count how many little packages were in there, but it was a cascade of presents that poured out of the box. Everything was wrapped ADORABLY and scattered with butterfly confetti and flowers.

Are you ready to see what's inside? :biggrin:
:hearts:
So, I started opening gifts and was grinning and laughing and ooooohing and ahhhing over everything. Then, about ten gifts in, I was overwhelmed by HorsingAround's generosity. Everything I opened made me feel a little sniffly and heartwarm. By the time I got to one of the last gifts, a *gorgeous* rehaired Yoyo, I completely lost it. I was having those big hiccupping sobs, patting her hair and saying things to myself like, "Her hair is so soft! It matches her symbol. It matches her symbol PERFECTLY" and crying like a goofball. It was just so, so, so touching to be spoiled like crazy. And the thing that made me cry more than ANYTHING? Her note to me said something like, "I hope you aren't disappointed with this swap". Can you imagine? It's like someone giving me the world and then thinking it wouldn't be enough.
:yikes: :cry: :cry:
So, to answer your note, let me tell you that it was the most wonderful, thoughtful, awesomely generous swap I could have ever imagined. I was blown away.

For example, this was the first gift! A complete set of the pink birthday candles!

(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo358.jpg.html)
That's not all I got from the birthday set! I also got the three paper hats I needed to complete my collection, two invitations, the party banner, the green balloon, and what I *think* is the orange blindfold. (Though that's in another photo.)

(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo360.jpg.html)
I use MLP accessories to set up dollhouse style themes as a hobby within my collecting hobby. My self-imposed rule is that everything has to be a MLP product, though I mix generations. So, HorsingAround sent me three awesome bits from the Pony Wear collection to add to these. The cookies and milk for my kitchen scenes (or maybe to leave out for Santa?) The skis (another holiday scene?). And the paintbrush. I love these SO MUCH. :lol:
I would have been over-the-moon if that was my swap--but there was so much more!

(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo365.jpg.html)
Leeeetle friends! Cheery, a pearly (and perfect!) Petite, an adorably piratical looking almost-one-eyed Twinkles, and Sweetheart the Mommy Charm.

(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo364.jpg.html)
Is that the orange blindfold? I think so--but haven't seen one that I can remember. A nightcap I needed, more toothpaste and a toothbrush (because I can never have enough), and a gorgeous bright pink bird brush. (I suck at comparing colors of combs/brushes--is this Magic Star's?)

(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo362.jpg.html)
And! I've been looking for a few years now for a wedding cake that is a)white and b)has good stickers. This one is PERFECT. I'm so excited. You could have just given me this as a swap and I'd have been happy. ;)

(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo361.jpg.html)
Then, HorsingAround got me some G3 accessories for my dollhouse projects, too! I've got the birthday present (and gift insert), two pieces of cake, the picnic basket, pie and the pie slice/server, two sandwiches, an ice cream float (is this Ponyville?), and drums. This calls for a party! :D :pineapple:

ETA: I forgot one!! HorsingAround also sent me this blind-bag sized Wonderbolt pony!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
(http://s2.photobucket.com/user/songtoisis/media/photo366.jpg.html)
For us bigger, non-plastic folk, she sent along a scrumptious smelling vanilla cupcake candle tin, a container of English Breakfast tea (insert joke about tasting like beans and toast here), and the coolest loose-tea jobber thing EVER--it's shaped like a strawberry! Freaking adorable. :straw: (ETA: I got so excited that there was a dancing strawberry smiley, I forgot to add that there was also a brass-tone jeweled owl pendant necklace! :D)
And finally....finally! A rehaired Yoyo. My photograph doesn't do her justice--she's the most adorable, beautiful, perfect, wonderful little baby pony in existence. I've never had a rehair--though I love the way that rehairing preserves and restores vintage G1s. She's such a delight to me. :heart:

From the always amazing, and awesome, and accessory queen - HATHORCAT! (Wow that was alot of A's, lol)
Anyway... okay. So, I had to take a moment because my hands were shaking once I finished opening the package. I swear one time I need to video myself because the sounds I make would make you guys lol hardcore... :lmao:
But now, as photobucket is uploading my photos, I can begin describing this box of awesome that came very inconspicuously in the mail today!
I have been having quite a pony slump as I've found that once you're addicted to swaps, as I have become, most of your money goes to buying other people stuff, and not yourself, so, I haven't gotten much pony mail lately... so I had this little feeling inside me that it was my swap box, even though, the box had no defining features to suggest such (I LOVE SURPRISES LIKE THAT! :biggrin:)
Upon opening the box *squee!* I knew it was the swap box! I see a card on top and some lovely little sparkles hidden underneath the bubble wrap...

Okay, so, first, I have to take a side step - I removed all the items from the box first, and found this nomnom deliciousness bar in there! But it's been about 90 degrees here the last few days, and I'm sure during wherever it was hailing from (in the states I mean, I think our sorting center is in MO?) - anyway, it's been hot, so Mr. Chocolate Bar was more like... Mr. Almost-Liquid Bar, so I ran and saved his life as fast as I could and snapped a photo of him in the fridge... THIS is my reward when I finish my workout tonight, even though I didn't want candy, I SO WANTED CANDY! Because... well I freaking LOVE candy. And Hazelnut chocolate anything is like, a huge huge huge win! :cheer:

Then, there was some other little items that were unwrapped and waiting for me! Where to begin... okay, first, this absolutely gorgeous sea-side theme notepad... it's like, amazing quality, cotton paper, it's soft, it's beautiful, I don't even know if I can use it, lol it's just, SO PRETTY (and really, ridiculously soft, and light, like a cloud!) There was a little soft elephant who - again - is that UBER soft material, he's to die for cute and squishy! And it may sound weird, but I like the way he smells, haha! :biggrin: STICKERS! Okay - so, when I was a kid I was OBSESSED with those 3D puffy stickers, I LOVED them! I have never seen those here in the states myself, I've seen them in passing in photos, but, I can't stop squishing them, lol... That feeling brings me back to my childhood! And the other set of stickers, the only one I've ever seen of THOSE in person is the rainbow colored striped pony shaped sticker, the rest I've never seen! I love how diverse stickers are, there's a reason I loved stickers as a kid (and now I love that I have excuses to use stickers again in my life! :heart:) DOLLYMIX PONIES!!! These things are ADORABLE! Are you kidding me? Tic Tac Toe and Heart Throb - I love the pegasus wings! I must have them all now... :inlove: Oh and I can't forget to mention the adorable kitten card from Cat!

So I had to open the biggest package first :lol:, and I found a really unexpected surprise! A gift from Ravengusty! A beautiful note, with ART of SUNSHINE (yessssss!! :banana:) and a lovely note that got me all soft and sappy inside, and to top that off, Thistle Whistle! :dropjaw: Her colors are fantasticcccc and she does smell incredible (as mentioned in the note, hehe) Thank you so much hun! :heart: :hug: That really made my day!

Now, Onto the accessories... all I can say here truly is WOW... just WOW and THANK YOU!
First, I open this gorgeous UK Pamphlet featuring some of my FAVORITE UK ponies - The Family ponies, the Rollerskate ponies, the Sweet Kisses ponies - and the best part of all? IT SHOWS ALL THE ACCESSORIES :dropjaw: So now I have more things to oogle over in the pamphlets... It's so bright, color is amazing, here's both sides:

AhhhH Steamers Hat! Finally! And 2 Racecar Combs in excellent shape, a beautiful LIGHT AQUA (yes wait for it...) Grasshopper Comb, and BANDANAS! I wasn't sure exactly who the yellow was for so I gave it to Chief...
I had to get my boys and show photos of them with all their new accessories!!
Here's my 1st set Boys:

And then there was that LIGHT aqua Grasshopper comb... who could that be for?!?
OMGOSH It looks to be SUNBURST'S COMB!
:frolic: I don't actually own Sunburst, but now I know what my next big goal has to be - I MUST HAVE HIM! (I had Tornados comb for a LONG time before I owned him, so, that's a great goal to have now, plus, Sunburst has amazing colors - some of my favorite - dark red, which, again, Cat hit right on the head with the packaging!! :heart:)

Sorry it's dark, I had to get my cat giving me the "what the heck are you so freaking excited about?" look in the background!
Cat - you outdid yourself, you spoiled me and my boys and thank you so much for everything. I love each and every piece (extras and accessories) that you included and I just feel like, on cloud 9 right now!! :hug: If I could tackle you through the computer, I would, so you better hope that never becomes a reality, because I will always remember this!! :hug: :lovey: And thank you again Raven too! :biggrin: That was really sweet of you!

My boys are boasting all over my pony room now because of their new accessories! They were always a bit neglected by me, for whatever reason, even after I started getting into accessories, and now they're so so happy! :biggrin:

I am here! I am so sorry guys, I ended up being an extra day before I got home and then was sick...yuck :(
However last night I opened my amazing amazing swap box...from the AWESOME CRICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honey there are no words to describe how thoughtful and perfect for me this box was. I had a little cry...and so did my mum when she was helping open it - we were suitably soggy by the time I opened the last little parcels.
The box was beautiful and everything wrapped perfectly. It made me feel so special :hug:
Seriously guys you are all going to be sooooooooooooooooooooooo awestruck.
I should point out first there was a giant bar of chocolate in this box...due to my pending "diet" I felt the need to consume it all immediately :P
I also apologies that I could not get my camera to take a charge so had to use one which did not take the best of pictures.
First up...A Sundance for my army! 2 comics and 2 backcards!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention a gorgeous little box featuring my favourite FT set on the top. I have never seen one before its gorgeous.

She also included a packed of Harrys favourite type of bones [he loves marrow jumbones and we dont get them in that size any more over here - which are perfect for him]. He has ready been permitted to eat 3 of them and even allowed his BFF, Maggie, to have one when she wandered in the room. I say he allowed...I had to hold him back and she had to run out of the room with it at top speed to avoid it being stolen but I am going with that being "sharing"
As soon as I can I am going to upload the pictures I have on my phone of his face when he saw the packet!
Cricket...I wish I could reach through this computer and squeeze you super super tight. It is the kindest, most thougtful and EPIC swap box. I am so happy and so spoiled. Thank you <3 :hug:

Awww I am so glad you like everything Cat! :blush: I had so much fun shopping for you! This swap has been sooo much fun!
The little box originally had Nora's repro wings in them. I have quite a few of them and thought you might enjoy it since she decorates them so beautifully with G1 art. The wing is totally original though. :P
Psst, open the post card there "might" be another one hiding behind it. :biggrin:

That box is a custom box? I have 1 of them I got in a lot. It had 2 sets of wings in it... grateful to finally know the origin!
Congrats cat!... I love seeing the accessories I sold end up in brag threads!
I think I sold some to Party for her partner, but have not seen those bragged about yet. We are still waiting for another brag?
-
Yes we are still waiting for just one more brag :)
Thank you so much again cricket - you seriously rocked this swap! *off to take a closer nosy at the post card*
-
What a great swap box!! I love Megan's clothes--so sweet! And the postcards? Oh, all such great stuff. :)
-
Awesome box! I love those little boxes that come with Nora's wings!
-
Off-topic, but can someone refer me to a good seller of repro flutter wings? I'm tired of the slow scrounge for authentic wings. My flutter ponies could use some stand-in wings! :)
-
I love this thread :heart:
-
Wooooooowwwwww!! That box was awesome!! What a great job you did Cricket! And congrats Cat - all those accessories!! :dribble: MY GOODNESS!

Songtosis, check out ebay seller a8aglaia This is who I got my wings from. She does an amazing job, they look so close to the originals I don't think I'm going to bother upgrading.
Cat I'm so happy you're pleased. It was a lot of fun shopping for this swap!
-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
