Hi from a child of the 80s
« on: July 11, 2015, 09:06:59 PM »
Hi all! Im a new member making the rounds.

In my hayday had a pony herd to be reckoned with along with the mansion  and nursery. They were part of my daily routine, and would spend hours creating stories for them to play out.

Now that Im older and see the value of these memories for my future generations,  Ive put my old collection back together. I have managed to locate all of the major ponies I remember having, and have taken great pleasure in restoring some well loved toys to their former glory. So far I seem to have a knack for it. (years of experience resurfacing, maybe) :)

At any rate, it has given me the ambition to branch out as a toy collector, and the best way I see to do that is to join a knowledgeable community of peers. I have found a lot of great reference information here already as a guest, and look forward to what else I may learn.

Thank you. I will set up a suitable display of my reformed collection to share at my next opportunity.

Welcome to the Arena, Jessica! I think the feeling a successful restoration of a well-loved toy brings can be understood my most toy collectors. I hope we'll see your herd at some point!

Hi, swtpsn! Welcome to the Arena!

Can't wait to see photos! I love restoring ponies that got a little to much 'love' in their day, it's a joy to see them sparkle again. You'll be surrounded by pony peers here, hope you find what you're looking for. Enjoy the forums!
