I'd never seen those matchbox horses before, and have totally fallen in love with them.
Lots of accessories - sweet notes and pony pride were complete, plus bridal beauty's bouquet, the rockers and one of the rattles from the newborn twins speckles and bunkie, and there's some g2 bits and pieces too - dainty dove's chapel, moonshadow's drawers and the complete basket (the lid is often missing) from the basket surprise set, as well as some stuff I'm pretty sure is mlp, but have yet to identify!
