Pony Corral / Re: what pony do you recommend?
« on: July 07, 2019, 06:32:33 PM »
G3 Sweetberry has always been a favourite of mine, but seemed to be a less popular pony (but since she was one of the first 8 released, there was thankfully still merch around to find).

Arts & Crafts Corral / Re: Supporting original artists and creators
« on: June 30, 2019, 03:24:46 PM »
I have a number of various art pieces from different artists. I wish I could support more, but I definitely have some. I also do my own and have a small Etsy shop.

You may like the Just A Card campaign - it's all about support small/local businesses and artists. The basic premise is that people always say "oh you have lovely [insert item here]" but then don't buy anything and instead support the big corporations like Walmart. Without sales those small businesses close, and then people wonder why since they "had such nice stuff".

Off Topic / Re: How to get started

I'm not an expert by any means, but just some things I've picked up from my groups:
- start with whichever social media platform you are most familiar/comfortable with, you can always expand out later
- there are some free website builders/hosts out there (wix.com is a popular one), but again don't delve into more than you are comfortable with at the moment
- craft shows = start small, some table fees can be crazy ($100s+), so try starting with church bazaars, school fundraisers, etc. Also bigger events (like fairs and conventions) often expect vendors [sellers] to carry business/liability insurance, so that is an extra cost.
- sometimes there are local shops that will rent out shelf space, but make sure to check them out carefully (I've heard some horror stories) - some want a commission of the sale price, others charge a monthly rate
- join Facebook groups in your area... I found a couple for Ontario that are specifically for vendor events/fairs/etc - one for reviews of events and another for vendor calls
- look into local business resources like banditpony suggested (I have yet to do this myself), they can help you through lots, including if there's any licenses or insurance you need to have, taxes, etc

It seems Gmail only moves the message you identify, but doesn't automatically add it to a "safe senders" list. This is their suggestion:
To stop a message from being sent to Spam in the future, you can:

    Add the sender to your Contacts
    Filter these messages

The combs and brushes from my childhood ponies. I didn't know what they were at the time (didn't remember they came with the ponies) so they went in with the generic Barbie brushes, and eventually sold at a garage sale or such. Later when I started collecting I recognized them.

So long as it fits with in our content rules (language, etc), you can put a link in your Signature.  :ohyeah: :bigups:

I'm not sure if I really have a worst experience (aside from days of just not finding anything). There's a couple bargain shops we've been too that were pretty yucky, so we've never been back - but they were more like liquidation stores.

Best experiences - finding Oakley in a bag of other random toys (just his face poking out between) :heart: and the Lullaby Nursery (with larger furniture) for $5.99.
