Hello from Sweden!
« on: June 18, 2012, 02:22:19 PM »
Well hello there!

My name is Amanda, and I am 23 years young (rather than old), I live in a small town (I don't even know if you could call it a town, more like a village) in the northern parts of Sweden, just a few miles from the Finnish border.

I've just started my own business (I make jewelry) and it is fun, but a lot of stress involved (the jewelry-making is just fun, but I could do without all the paperwork and bureaucracy ;) )

I've been collecting ever since I got my first pony when I was a child. She still is in perfect condition, and I still got the comb and the original ribbon for her! By the way, her name is Love Story. :)
I mostly collect G1 ponies, since they were the ones I grew up with, and in my opinion they are the prettiest ones. But I do own 2 G3 ponies, and I've been eyeing those darn cute G4 ponies too ;)

My collection used to be a lot bigger, but a few years ago I must have hit my head when I decided to sell my collection (fortunately I didn't sell all of them :)), and I haven't been an "active collector" in about 5 years, until I found the Show Stable at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago. It lacked several parts, and it was dirty and mangy, but I couldn't just leave it there. I've always wanted the Show Stable. So finally my ponies have a home ;) Sure, it doesn't have any doors, but it's mine! ;)

Sooooooo I think that's about enough about me. Hope to get to know some more MLP-fans here, and maybe add some new ponies to my collection. :)

Hi, Amanda, and welcome to the Arena!

Don't feel bad about your temporary lapse when you decided to sell off some of your colection.  I've noticed more than a few people (myself included :blush:) who say they went through a "meh, ponies" phase.  You're back in the herd, so yay!  ^.^

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html
