Here's my wishlist! I put my collections in order of importance.  The LPS and magnets at the bottom of the list aren't a big want right now, but could be used as fillers or extras.
Favorite colors-Purple, teal, blue,green,maroon, turquoise, silver, grey, pink in Very small amounts. No earth tones like  yellow,orange, red, brown. Lol, that was fun!

My favorite collection is Egyptian or art glass style perfume bottles-NOT AVON. There are a lot of them on eBay, and they're not that expensive.  I would love to have a teal or blue/green one, but would be happy with any color except red, brown, orange, amber. Here's a link to an album showing the style bottles I like (these are not ones I already have)- http://smg.beta.photobucket.com/user/crazycatlady/library/Perfume%20bottles?.
I also collect:
Small, decorated pill boxes-jewels, floral, moon & stars,animals, fairies. Please click the link above to see examples.
Trinket or Jewelry boxes-These can be heavy or fragile so shipping may be too expensive.
I have a big collection of watering cans up at our house in WI. Right now I'm just looking for tiny ones, or pictures/postcards/notecards with watering cans.
Snoopy or Woodstock coffee mugs-I'm looking for any except the Christmas ones. Cafe Press has them on sale for $12 & $15!
Bracelets-I have small wrists so I'm always looking for small or stretchy bracelets. Adult style though, nothing cutsey or cartoon themed.
Elephants with their trunks up-I probably have too many of these, but I wouldn't mind another if it's really unusual. This is not a big want at the moment. I'm not looking for any other elephant items.
Bookmarks-Cats, birds, fairies, dragonflies, moon & stars, cute sayings.
Magnets-same as the bookmarks.
LPS-Specific ones I'm looking for-
1560 or 2489 curly tailed mouse
2609 inch worm
2581 Pink anteater  or any of the anteaters
2614 Glistening garden pansy fairy
2426 porcupine
2578 koala
1882 purple squirrel
1309 octopus
2580 raccoon
2592 beaver
Any of the Moonlite fairies moondust friends except yellow or orange

Cat stickers are always appreciated as an extra! I can always use pretty, blank note cards/envelopes. I love nail polish, not sure if it's really a collection, but I'm always buying it!  I like almost anything small and colorful, especially blue, green, purple, teal. Tiny little cats, elephants or hippos.

1) would you rather have the whole budget go towards one item or several cheaper items? I guess several items, but I would be happy with one really gorgeous perfume bottle.
2) Would you like to receive candy as an extra? If so what do you like? Maybe a little dark chocolate.
3) Would you like any pony themed items as extras? No
4) If your partner is having trouble finding the "other collections" items, would you accept ponies instead?  Not actively collecting ponies any longer, so no. All my items should be easy to find on eBay, but I can come up with more if necessary.
5) Do you have animals? Parakeets-2 that were rescued from a hoarder, and 2 more that I'm getting this afternoon. All my kitties have passed on. :(
6)Stuff you don't want? Candles or any scented products
7)Colors you don't like? Earth tones-red, orange, yellow, orange. Also so not fond of a lot of pink, but it's okay as an accent.
8)Do you like jewelry like earrings, necklace? Earrings but they have to have sterling silver posts. I wear a lot of bracelets, but I have small wrists so I usually get the stretchy kind.  Adult style though, not cutsey. I don't wear necklaces.


Additional random questions asked throughout the thread:

I don't collect dolls or ponies, so no to any questions about those.
I also don't collect anything from a particular show, in fact I don't even watch TV.


Allergies:Smoke, heavy or floral scents, mold, dust.

Japanese souvenir items? No, not really.

Local Souvenirs? Sure, as long as it something small, like a keychain or postcards. Not really into snowglobes.

Do you like home made crafty items themed like your collection? Example being maybe a crocheted thing, or sculpted? Artwork?  Things like that.
I'm really short on space, and I'd hate to think of someone spending a lot of time on making and item and it ends up in a box in my basement. Plus, all my items are
mostly fragile, vintage items that probably can't be handmade. So, no.

 

Do any of you guys like things such as lotion, body wash, or bubblebath? If so, what kinds of scents do you like? No to body wash or bubble bath. Hand lotions are ok as long as
it doesn't have a floral scent.
 

Some of the items I have in my collections:
Perfume bottles and colored bottles

I would really like to have a partner looking for non-pony stuff.  Something new & different!

I've got a question also-my collections aren't of a particular toy or merchandise (except for a couple of LPS I'd like to have). I collect vintage perfume bottles, elephants, fairies, things like that. So for example, I wouldn't be asking for a certain Care Bear or Sailor Moon doll, but instead giving examples of the kind of bottles I collect. Could I still join?

Off to Walmart this afternoon to look for goodies.  All the stores have their Valentine's stuff out, so I may check out Walgreens too. I need some Pink/Red/Hearts wrapping stuff too.
Haven't decided where to shop for socks. Oddly, my favorite socks come from Kmart, although I buy almost nothing else there.

I'm getting over a nasty stomach bug, but will probably start shopping this weekend.   :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

The last time I tried to have a raffle (a year or so ago) the very first person to buy tickets put "Good luck with your raffle!" on their payment.  Even though I asked several times not to use the word raffle.  My account was locked up for over a week while PayPal kept asking me to prove I was a non-profit.  It all depends on if people can follow instructions (usually they can't).

Here's a link to pics of the combs, brushes & baby accessories I had already photographed. I also have a pink topped bottle & a ducky pull toy (pink wheels/yellow centers).  The ponies will have to wait until I get back from WI in July.

Ok, I'll try and get some pictures in the next couple of days.  I don't have any thing rare, but some of them are pretty nice.  It's just going to be hard to sell them without grooming them first, I used to pride myself on selling picture-perfect ponies!
I have a ton of combs & brushes!

Pony Corral / How's the G1 pony market this summer?
« on: June 23, 2012, 10:03:16 AM »
I've been out of the pony world for almost a year (except for a brief visit to help with the Holiday Swap), and have no idea what's selling these days.  I' have a tub full of G1's and some accessories, I'm seriously thinking of just sticking the whole lot on eBay, as is.  I really don't enjoy fixing them up anymore, and just the idea of having to wash & shampoo all those ponies sounds exhausting. Are people even still buying G1's, or has everyone gone over to the darkside-I mean G4's, lol? :silly:

I didn't forget who you were, you didn't identify yourself at all! No screen name or actual name.  I'm afraid your email addy wasn't enough of a clue. And by Sunday afternoon I was in bed with a bad case of bronchitis so I would't have been much help anyway.

Off Topic / Re: Any Vets/Vet techs? Cat question.
« on: February 26, 2012, 07:25:15 AM »
Let's see-no change in routine.  I feed her in the same place, at the same time as before.  No hairballs, both cats  stopped upchucking when I switched them to mainly canned food. I know she needs to go for a check up, I just hate to do it because she getting older & has to be sedated to go to the vet.  Even sedated they have to put a muzzle on her.  When I call her Psycho Kitty I'm not kidding.  Here she is looking innocent.

I'm not sure if she's trying to get my attention,  half the time when she's meowing she's not even on the same floor of the house that I'm on.  But I'm trying to give her extra attention.
I'd get another cat to keep her company but she's so mean it wouldn't be fair to the other animal.  I've got some stuff called Bach's Rescue Remedy, I'll have to give that a try.  It helped a few years ago when she went a little crazy and started tearing up the other cat.

I had to have one of my cats put to sleep few months ago.  Ever since then Psycho Kitty has been meowing like she's in heat.  Psycho Kitty hated the other cat, and the only interaction they had was when she was trying to beat her up.  They were seldom even in the same room together.
This constant caterwauling is driving me crazy.  She does in the middle of the night, and off and on all day.  But only when I'm home, my son says when I'm not there she's quiet. She's eating, drinking, peeing and pooping just fine, so I don't think she's sick.   I'm desperate for suggestions!
