Good morning! Thank you for the add to the group.
My name is Michelle and I live in Manitoba, Canada. I'm a 30 something (girls don't give away their age!
) wife and mom of 3 littles. My boys are in grade 2 and kindergarten and my princess just turned 2.
I fell in love with ponies in the 80's when they were first released. I had a modest collection, which I kept in pristine condition even though they were played with daily and loved very much. My originals consisted of Apple Jack, Cotton Candy, Glory & Baby Glory, and Parasol.
My 2 year old daughter is the reason I've begun looking into ponies again. I brought out my childhood toys recently and she instantly fell in love with my ponies. I began looking on eBay to get a few of her own as I selfishly wanted to keep my own in good condition and didn't want her ruining them.
Since my daughter Kira was first introduced a little over 2 months ago to ponies, we've acquired Baby Cotton Candy, Surprise & Baby Surprise, Baby Cuddles and her buggy, Bow Tie, Sundance, Beddy Bye Eye HeartThrob and a collection of McDonalds ponies from 2005. We lucked out with those and got an entire set new in their packages from a local thrift store for $8, a dollar a pony!
I found the site looking for tips on cleaning and such and look forward to learning a great deal more!
Regards,
Michelle
