So as the title says, last weekend myself and a friend (autojoy) went to our very first Ponycon! We've wanted to go for a few years now but due to personal situations or the location, we just couldn't. This year, assuming it was going to be in a location we could get to easily, we were DETERMINED to go. Yay Leicester! Just a couple of hours by train and staying in the hotel that it was being held at, perfect!
I haven't been on the forums for the last year or so, because autojoy and I decided to step back from the Pony scene for a while due to work and house moving, and so we completely saved ourselves for Ponycon! How exciting!!
We both came away with wishlist ponies as well as extras we never expected to find, so we were very happy! Everyone there was lovely, all the stall holders were wonderful to talk to, and I loved seeing the variety of people, including mums dressing up alongside their children
And without further ado, here is a photo of my very happy haul
(I'm happy and I'm sure the ponies are all happy as well!)

Dancing Butterflies (from a seller facing to the left side wall, I believe theymay have had customised ponies or was next to someone who did?)

Four packs of beautiful hair! Thanks guys for being so patient with us as we pawed through your wares! Sadly my photo is too orange to do the colours justice.
