Couldn't think of a better title! This was a great private swap, and our aim was to fill a small priority box with some ponies and goodies for each other! I'm just wowed with the colorful packaging Hannah did for me. Look at all of this orange! I'm very fond of orange and I LOVE Halloween. We're getting on to that time of year so this all felt very festive, special, and appropriate for this time of year.

First off, the goodies! Lovely orange Lindt Truffles and Orange Sticks yum yum yum! Cat and I broke into those right away while opening the box (he's not a collector, but he's always curious on things and does think the ponies are quite cute and charming). Both of us haven't had orange sticks in years, I'd forgotten how tasty they are. Cute pony stickers too!

Next up came the kitty gifts since we had 'help' at that point. Thorin (the Meez) just loves the catnip mice and had to have one right away (he carried it off the second I got it off the card). Everyone is enjoying the treats (though Shou (the fluffy Calico in back) likes them most of all. Pippin (not shown, a shy, big, black kitty) is also content with both)

Anywho! On to the main event! Oh man, so many lovely MLPS and MLP things! Doesn't everything look nice all together? First off, a lovely baby seapony (Seawinkle) WITH her float! Oh so nice. She's in pretty nice shape all things considered for a sea pony. That hair is so unusual on the color changing ones. Pity they loose their color changing ability, but she's completely darling anyway. Love the crocodile float! Next up is Spring Song, a lovely G1 sweetheart sister I just love the combination of colors and symbol on. I'm pretty picky on the ponies I collect, and she's just a wonderful combo. Super nice shape on her too! Especially with that earring intact. Last of the big ponies is ADORABLE Bumblesweet. Both my partner and I love bees, and she's just utterly perfect, and even has her brush!
Oh but that's not all pony-wise! Hanna was kind enough to get me some missing bits from a couple play-sets I had as a child. When I sold off my Barbie related toys I accidentally threw a couple of MLP accessories in that box and I've been dreading it since. Now restored are the soap dish for the tub and the duck toy for the crib! Hanna has also correctly inferred I like bee-pony any gen and I now have a keychain of Bumblesweet too! She's gone right on my keys, I've been needing a little decoration there.

Thank you thank you thank you Hannah! I apologize for not getting a lot of separate pictures, Cat and I were just so excited to see everything, we couldn't wait to get it all together! This has been an absolutely wonderful trade and I completely brightened my day!

I'll be posting individual photos of ponies in the next few days, once I have some light and time to photograph them by themselves!

I love how she decorated the box. That's very clever! I also think your new ponies are very cute, especially Seawinkle. Looks like you guys had a really lovely swap. :)

She was a rockstar with this swap, OMG!!!! I had a lousy workweek, and this was by far the best thing that happened during the entire week.. :satisfied: It was my first private swap, and I was majorly spoiled! :blush:
On to the brag!
:squee:
I loved how Pearl categorized not only the wrapping, but also the box... She put ponies on top, extras in the middle and treats on the bottom. ^.^

Another surprise, the handwritten card I received was decorated with a beautiful Sweet Stuff drawing on the front!! :inlove: It is amazing, Pearl! (Not only is she a great pony friend, but a fantastic artist, too!) The drawing shall go with the others I've collected / commissioned by other pony friends since arriving on the Arena! :)
Nom nom nom.. feline approval!
