Overdue Christmas brag - pony friends are awesome!

[ooizza]

Sooo, this is a very long overdue Christmas brag.

I found a great lot of ponies and the Show Stable on Kijiji but it was in another city and the weather at the time was too horrible to be driving so far for ponies. The seller didn’t want to ship them, but she agreed to let me arrange for pick up with a friend. That wonderful friend was LovesBabySquirmy! I still cannot believe that she was willing to go out of her way to pick them up and send them to me! I was just gobsmacked when she said “Yes”! The ponies arrived just before Christmas and I had to wait until Christmas morning to open them (evil husband).
I hadn’t saved a picture of the lot so while I knew of one pony in particular that was in the lot, I wasn’t 100% sure of the exact contents.

It was just crammed full of ponies and accessories!

These three missed the first photo shoot as they were hanging out with my Glory army and the rest of the birthflowers:)

Hiding amongst the stable full of ponies was Baby Sweet Tooth!!! My first TAF baby! She was the reason I had wanted the lot in the first place! I had guessed from the listing picture that she would have a haircut so I was expecting it. I’m not picky though and think she looks pretty darn cute!

All of the other ponies were doubles but there are some that I’m keeping. I feel bad making Lemondrop give up her house so even though she has most of the usual LD problems, she’ll be poking her cute face out of the stable from my shelves The funny thing about some of these ponies is that they have the softest, silkiest hair! All of the Sundances that I have found prior to this have been a bit ratty in the hair department but this one is soft and lovely!

Accessories:

There were more baby accessories but I went through and "filed" the bottles and some of the brushes etc. away already, haha!

LBS said that there was something special hanging out in this yellow trunk (not MLP?) and I was sooo curious!

Flutter wings!!! I hadn’t even considered that’s what LBS may have been referring to! I have to figure out how to best make some tabs and then Morning Glory can have her wings back!

To add to the most wonderful pony Christmas I have had in 25 years, the lovely Strawberry Scoops sent me a gorgeous handmade Glory ornament for my tree

I am so happy that I was able to pick up those ponies for you.  The seller was a little tricky to communicate with, and the road trip was a little crazy, but it was SO worth it to pack up that awesome box for you.  I knew you would be thrilled at getting Baby Sweet Tooth finally and all those fun accessories and extras... it was such a great pony haul!  I can only imagine how happy you must have been - did you do the happy pony dance?    And the Flutter Wings were a great surprise, that's great!  I had no idea if you had better pictures of the lot than what you sent me, but I  knew those were a great find!  Congratulations! I am so happy to have helped you add to your collection!

I'm so glad you had such a great pony Christmas!!!  What a fun lot to get and it all looks to be in great shape. Baby Sweet Tooth is fantastic! It is wonderful that LovesBabySquirmy was able to help out

I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of the ornament on your tree! The ribbon even matched some of your other ornaments. I'm glad I could help add to your Christmas! You're a wonderful pony friend to have and I appreciate all you've done to help me with my collection

Thanks everyone!

I have so much fun collecting, but being able to share the experience of loving ponies has quickly become my favourite part of collecting! I'm kicking myself for staying away from the forum for so many years

Wow, congratulations on an amazing lot! And that was so sweet of LBS to go out of her way to pick it up for you! Baby Sweet Tooth is adorable, I think the hair cut suits her. And congrats on a lovely pair of flutter wings and a very lovely Christmas ornament! What a great brag!
