A small treasure found
« on: May 29, 2014, 10:39:56 AM »
I was in California for work and I went to a Goodwill that was across from the hotel. I wandered through this store for a while, it was like a dollar general mixed with a thrift store- quite bizarre to me as I'd never seen one like that. Anyway I was about to give up digging through the shelves of toys that seemed to be just abused barbies and baby toys. But I saw some yellow hair sticking out from behind a scary baby doll. I got excited! I found a really dirty Dancing Butterflies, the poor girl was completely tangled and looked like she had a day at the mud spa. I carried her in my hand to make sure some little kid didn't snatch her and I paid 99 cents.
I took her to the hotel and scrubbed her as best as I could and her head popped off easily and I hung her on some clippy hanger so she would dry out. She still needs a good deep cleaning, but I didn't have a brush.
I am going to Vegas next week, hoping to hit some thrifts there when I am not working. Anyone live in Vegas and have some trades/sales?

Nice find!  It must be so exciting to find a G1 pony "in the wild", so to speak.  :)
