*Update*
I got seriously lucky yesterday. As it turns out, some friends of mine had gone to the flea markets too, and they picked up a G3 Rainbow Princess Castle with several ponies included. They gave it to me as a surprise gift yesterday. I'm so excited! It's just huge!
The included ponies are in great condition, and all just need a nice bath and they're good to go. The cabbage patch fakie included is also adorable.

Here's a picture of everything:

There's a few things included that are obviously not part of the caste, including a ...talking ...closet...thing? (if you pull a credit card or something like it though the slot in the back, it will tell you've got anywhere from 50 to 300 dollars. O.o)
I have no idea what that is from, though I'm curious to find out.
*/Update*

It was Queensday in the Netherlands a few days ago, and that means flea-markets! Wonderful huge flea-markets.
Unfortunately, I was very, very limited in my budget, so I ended up leaving a lot of ponies behind. (Especially since I was saving some budget for the second market we'd hit that day, only to find it didn't have any ponies what so ever. :( )
Still I'm pretty darn happy with the few girls I did bring home.
(I apologize for the grainy pictures, I only had my phone camera available.)

I picked up a fully functional Lily Lightly, and a Berries 'n Cherries, who is sporting a rather unusual do currently. >>

A pretty G2 Easter edition of Sky Skimmer.

And my fav find of the day, Princess Dawn.

She's in rather bad condition, very grimy, hair that could pass for felt, ruined tinsel, a point of one of her symbols snapped off, and then there's a problem with her neckline and her neck-seam has hair glued into it. Still, I wasn't expecting to find any G1's at all and she's my first princess. I'll be doing my very best to make her look pretty again.


Next to the ponies I picked up 2 Keypers, mostly out of curiosity since I'd never seen any before. Not sure yet if I'll keep them around, though I have to admit he little one is growing on me big time. It's too bad though, that the squirrel has some extreme yellowing going on, she's supposed to be purple and pink.

Nice finds!  Queensday sounds like the most awesome pony hunting day ever (well, if the brag threads in here are any indication that is, lol!). Congrats :cheer:

Congrats! I love the Keyper's turtle. I just bought two of them myself recently for nostalgia's sake.

It's a lot of fun indeed!
Most towns organize events on Queensday, and big fleamarkets are a part of it in most places. Most towns don't ask for any fees from the sellers that day from what I know, if you can nab yourself a bit of space in the streets or other area designated for the flea market, you're allowed to sell. Usually the markets are full of parents and children selling off old items, so there's often quite a few toys to be had.

Great finds! And I'm so jealous you found Keepers ♥ I had the turtle when I was a kid, love them.
Aww, cuties! Best of luck on Princess Dawn and finding a home for your little squirrel friend!

I'm still debating on what to do with the squirrel. On the one hand she's not growing on me as much as the little turtle, who's bound to stay by now, but then I think that she'd make an awesome candy container for my desk or something like that, but she is yellowed, but she still looks fairly good otherwise and ....yeah ...this will take a while.....
In any case, if I decide against keeping her, I will indeed make sure she'll end up with someone who will cherish her. :)
