No, I didn't go on holiday just to pick up ponies
I went away for a few days to get pictures for my A-level photography course, and I visited a museum dedicated to my subject choice in the exam.
Mum and I decided to go to as many (I reckon we went to all) charity shops in and around the area. I hunted ponies, Lilo & Stitch, and pokemon. Nothing on the L&S or Pokemon side, but my goodness, the pony gods rained on me. I went into three city centres, the first (being the smallest) was the one where I struck lucky. I walked into a charity shop which we don't have where I live and it looked very run-down and horrible, (I'd visited three or four others prior to this one) and as soon as I walked in the door, on a shelf on my left about 2 or 3ft away from me was a lot of colourful manes and tails and lots of them in see-through baggies. Well, I've never done this before but ran over as fast as I could squeeing 'OMG OMG OMG OMG'. My mum just stood still laughing. I grabbed all the bags and showed them to mum who approached me and I looked through each one seeing who was in there. I asked mum if I could buy them and she agreed. I paid immediately, feeling ecstatic.
Well, what did I get for £2.99 a bag, and 4 bags worth?

I don't collect G3s, but my goodness, this was like the most awesome find ever for me. I've never found ponies in a charity shop before. (Well, I have but that was in 1996/1997 when families were getting rid of their g1s!)
We went to a lovely restaurant to have lunch, I opened 2 bags, and mum opened the other 2, the results?

The only poor condition one is Paradise Palms who I shall be keeping as she has major mane/tail cuts. The rest are either mint/near mint. All will be offered on my trade thread or for sale since I have all of them already. Thistle Whistle smells AMAZING, so I may keep her too!
Here's the list of who I found:
Thistle Whistle
Paradise Palms
Berries 'N Cherries
Tropical Suprise
Meadow Brook
Cherry Blossom III
Brights Brightly
Wysterea II
Spring Carnivale
Round 'N Round
Wind Drifter (She's like the plague where I live!)
Seascape.
Hope you liked my finds!
