That is great!  I love seeing displays like this in libraries.  And you've got a wonderful collection displayed here.  :lovey:

What a neat idea!  The ponies that you have on display look lovely.   :)

Also, I'd totally love to have a display case like that.....Oh, the dust-proof, safe-from-my-cat possibilities!   :lol:

Thanks!  :happy: I'd love to have those display cases too. It looks so much better than just regular shelves.

They look lovely in the display. I'm a bit curious though why is the library displaying ponies? :blink:

Maddie: I've seen other people displaying collections there before so I asked them if I could show some of my ponies there and they said yes.

Oh wow, look at all those ponies! :lovey: What a beautiful display, good for you!

That's so cool! How awesome that you can show off your collection :D I would want to be there every day to see others' reaction and answer any pony questions :biggrin: How did you choose which ponies you would show off? Did you pick your favorites?

Your collection looks awesome on display there! :D

Post by: Sandi on March 29, 2014, 10:18:58 AM

Thanks everyone! :D

Shenanigans: It was pretty hard to choose. I wanted to show as many different kinds of ponies and poses as possible and not too many of one color. I picked some of my favorites, like Gusty, Bright Eyes, and Sugarberry. I didn't want to bring any of the most rare ones in my collecton. Not that anything will happen to them, they're locked in, but you never know. (OCD xP)

I was following your thread about wether you'd go through with this or not, I'm so glad you did!! They look beautiful!! I was imagining an open display for some reason but I'm glad that's not the case! You've got me wondering if my library does something similar....

Today I took the ponies home. I've missed them.  :P

The reactions from everyone have been very positive and I'm so glad that I decided to do it. According to the librarians they have been very appreciated by both children and adults. :)

Awww....thats great feedback! But happy the ponies are all home!

Post by: Bekuno on April 17, 2014, 05:02:46 PM

I bet they're happy to be home!

It was so nice to display them publicly, If I lived there I'd go see them every day. I miss seeing library displays.
