Couple of brags, some of them late brags
« on: June 17, 2012, 11:18:46 AM »
Hey all. I haven't exactly been around the Arena lately. (I've been trying to be more active and lose weight, so I've been spending less time on the internet. It's mostly just Tumblr activity these days.) But I'm still collecting ponies and yesterday I got pretty lucky!

I went to a wedding yesterday across the state, and the girl who drove wanted to stop in a few stores we don't have back home on our way back.

GPS started freaking out at one point and it led us in a circle. We joked that it was because it knew about a yard sale and sure enough... we found a yard sale.

She was actually MIB, but I ripped her open because the box was pretty damaged and I was alright with just having a minty G3. Plus I got all of her accessories! I just can't get over her sweet little bonnet!

Also, not pony-related, but I picked this up at this awesome store called Meijers that I've never heard of because we're lame and don't have one.

I squealed with so much delight when I found her! I'm still relatively new to Monster High and I'm so glad that I'm not only able to finally have a basic, but also a doll that isn't exactly common.

Also, my birthday was last month and my wonderful friend cakfortwo made me this gorgeous custom, Dawnstar. I'm going to go ahead and just link the picture on her Deviantart for the sake of ease.

Cakefortwo usually customizes Monster High dolls, so I'm super grateful that she was nice enough to make me a pony simply because she knows I love ponies. She's such a sweetheart. :heart:

Aaaaaand as if it couldn't get any better than that, I have some even more good news!

After a year of collecting, of constantly refreshing sites like eBay for good deals, of pining and drooling, of doodling her picture in the margins of my class notes, I finally have her.

I finally have my grail.

I actually cried a little when I took her out of the package and got to hold her in my palms. I finally have my very own Munchy. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and spent the year paranoid that I would end up spending about $65 for her because I knew she was valued from 40-60, but I really was lucky in that I paid only around $40 for her. It was the most money I've spent on a pony so far, but I don't care. She was my grail. And she's super minty too! No fading, all of the paint is practically perfect, and her hair is quite silky. The description said she was played with briefly but then put away for 20 years and I'm so happy to have found one in such wow shape.

I love her. I love all of these so much. Never have I felt more blessed than I have this past month.

:frolic:

Thank you, loves. I ended up putting the bonnet on Munchy because the colors matched extremely well. :happy:

Question though. Sew-And-Sew wasn't supposed to be scented, was she? Because for some reason or another, she smells really good. Must be the picnic. :p

EDIT: I just realized this was stickied. Thank you, kiwi. That is so wonderfully sweet. :heart:
