Title: Adopted my coworker's childhood herd!
Post by: buttonso on October 14, 2015, 04:10:58 PM
Ever since I got back into ponies, my best work friend has been patiently listening to my chronicles of fixing up my childhood ponies. Awhile back she told me that the next time she went home to her dad's place, she'd try to find her own childhood ponies and that I could have them if I wanted them-- she was worried they'd end up going to a garage sale if she left them with her dad, but she didn't really have an interest in keeping them herself.  Well, this past weekend she went home and got the ponies, and now I have a whole bunch of ponies added to my salon to-do pile!!!

Coworker had several adorable baby ponies I secretly would have loved to have too, but she kept those for herself as they had the most emotional nostalgia for her, so of course I couldn't be greedy when she let me have all these for free-- some of which were ponies I've been wanting! Plus a couple really cute fakies and a Cabbage Patch pony! And two lunch boxes, one vintage, one retro!

We had a lot of fun going through the box-- she herself hadn't looked at these ponies in years-- and discussing our childhood pony memories.  A few of these are duplicates of ones I already have, she said I could sell/trade them if I want to but I don't think I will.... it feels wrong somehow.  :blush:

So yeah.. I promise this is my last brag for awhile, I am not in a place to buy ponies right now, so I was very happy to have these come into my hands.  :lol:

ETA:

Please, let us know who are in the box.

I'm not lucky with my friends' ponies.


Oh yeah, who did you all get it!? :)

Haha my inherent laziness kept me from going through the box and identifying everyone, but, I finally have so..... looks like we have:

Baby Graffiti
Baby Shaggy
Baby Sweet Stuff
Boysenberry Pie
Bride Pony
Happy Hugs
Hula Hula
Little Tabby
Little Whiskers
Merry Go Round: Sparkler and Flower Bouquet
Peppermint Crunch
Princesses Tiffany & Serena (with bush woolies)
Rockin’ Beats: Tuneful, Half Note
Secret Star (Secret Surprise Pony)
Springy
SS Paradise
SS Shady
Starflash
Streaky
Sunglory
Sweet Blossom
TAF: Up Up & Away, Sugarberry, Dancing Butterflies
Teeny Pony Twins Sniffles & Snookums
Tic Tac Toe
Tossles

ALSO a few fakies (including a very darling Cabbage Patch pony) and a Mattel Pretty Kitty/Puppy AND a Lil Litters kitty. And this weird mermaid fairy doll thing I haven't looked up yet.

So thats it, unless I missed someone ^^*

What an amazing and kind friend! :D
I recognize that blue playpen - I had (or still have, not sure) one in pink with the bottom covered by a large sticker, that it came with.

What a great collection! It's been a while since I was able to get any childhood ponies from friends (I always have this experience with people -- they find out about my collection and reveal their childhood ponies -- but they don't always give them to me for free!). My cousin gave me her childhood ponies back when we were still pretty young, but she had some baby ponies that she held out, too. Those ponies became semi-grails for me just because I hadn't gotten them. ;)

This is great! It's so much fun when you get an entire lot, going through them and finding ones you like etc. It's also fun because you know the person who had them as a kid and you know that they were cherished and loved. It makes it a lot of fun. I love those lunchboxes too, especially the new one, I have never seen one like that before.
