DRUM ROLL = thanks to mother's day passing and you all pony peoples patiently waiting = and I cannot find my camera (thank my 4 year old quick hands when I had the card in the computer slot to check = at least can download what I took)
I was the crazy bidder on the italy magenta lot :-) didn't mean to draw out the suspense - but something like this just had to be for an occasion, ya know = and I don't do jewelry, flowers or candy :-) but ponies ? S-U-R-E
so here's what I can pass along:
from seller emails
first one =
Hi Monica,
I'm sorry I'm answering you so late but I got some troubles concerning my internet connection. First, congratulations for winning the auction, I left the ponies in the Post Office's care a few hours ago:
I hope you'll receive them really soon! About our little friends, I can't tell you a lot about them because I'm not an experienced collector but the story behind their tails (^_^) tells that they were a present given to me and my sister for a friend of our father who worked in a quite famous toy shop in Milan around early '80. As I said me and my sister, we're not collectors but we heard about the love and interest surrounding the ponies and... well, we decided to make someone very happy! When the box arrives, please let me know if everything's fine and let's exchange feedbacks, OK?
Have a nice day, ciao!
Michele
So I wrote her if she knew anything about the "infamous" magenta haired cotton candy - had she had her hair dyed/so more a played-with pony
here's her second email =
Ciao Monica,
once again, sorry for the late answer but this time it's not internet's fault... I was simply on holiday abroad ^_^ I'm glad to read that ponies safely traveled and are now among many other little friends: it's the perfect way to spend a wonderful Easter, don't you think?
Concerning your request, I honestly don't know but my sister might have an answer or an anecdote to share... I'll let you know as soon as possible, after the great Easter Lunch ^_^
I wish you "Buona Pasqua!" (Happy Easter!) and let's exchange feedback, OK?
Michele
