Flea Market Score!

[MonstarNomNom]

Hey sweeties! I figured I really needed to start posting again here more often, and what better way than to share my haul from the flea market this past weekend!

I was in SC visiting family and decided to go to the flea market! I always hope to find ponies, but never do. lol Well, this time was different!

First off is a picture of my entire haul! The Pocahontas puzzle I found at a Goodwill for my own collection! The rest I found at the flea market!

And a close up of the ponies and pretty kitties When I saw the perfume puffs I went into full on mother hen mode! lol These girls already had their initial bath. They were covered in nasty blue inky stuff. I was so relieved it came off! They still need a lot of work done on their hair and a good spot cleaning with acetone. But I think they will clean up fairly well, aside from a few that have prices written on them in highlighter  They may just be my first sun fading jobs! If I get brave enough ;P

Sunfading is super easy. You can just use blue painters tape to cover up the symbols/eyes/hair (putting it into a little bun helps) 
Congratulations on your haul, though!! I'd never find that here.

What is that little lamb? It's so freaking cute.

Thanks everyone so much! I was so ecstatic when I found them! I just finished cleaning them and they are stunning! ^^ Just need to try and sunfade a few of them :3

Chi: thanks so much for the advice! I have them sitting in a window now but I don't know if it's an effective spot at this time of day. lol And I have no idea what it is! I think it was originally supposed to make noises, but it doesn't anymore x3 Since I collect sheep she just had to join my herd! Haha

It's amazing that you found perfume puffs at the flea market! I see that you do perfume puff commissions, so it's like it was meant to be. Congrats on your finds.

what luck! I hope ponies ever find at a flea market! I have not yet found any g1, and Madrid, we have the market "El Rastro" that there are all first- and second hand .It is all about going from time to time ... and patience
