My Brag from the Central Cali Meetup!

[Snapdragon]

... in May!

Yes, it was weeks ago, but I am just now realizing that I never posted my brag outside of the meetup thread! So here we go!!

This is what my table looked like:

First up: Dolls and plush! I snagged a Puppy Surprise with two puppies for $20 from Terra - and one of them is a RUNT!!! I’ve always wanted one!! Plus, I got the two mini-puppies for a buck from Whoa1234, so now the mommy has even more babies! The doll I was told is Jem (who I got from Jahlila's box of miscellaneous 80s toys!), but it turns out it's actually Danse, one of my fave characters! She's my very first Jem doll, and man, she is HUGE!!! I love her!! She’s wearing a sweet knockoff jumpsuit (possibly Totsy?) from the big lot of Barbie stuff I got for my friend Oak23, as well as the pants, grocery basket and FANNY PACK! I got the manticore/WoW guy for my friend thelotusmuse​! And I rescued Rainbow Dash from Lunar_scythe's dollar bin so I could give her a pretty new faceup!

LOOKIT THE BABIES!!! The pink one is the runt!! I think they’re huskies? I always wanted the husky family!!

PONIES!!! Or rather, BAITS! I went a bit crazy on the baits; I snagged a bag of 18 baits for $10 from Whoa1234, solely because I could see KINGSLEY in there!! Several of these girls were rescued because they look like not-baits to me, IMO! (Baby Quackers is very white, she just needs a new tail!)

RESINS!! Naturally, I’ve already lost one. Fail!! Somehow, I managed to hold onto the teeny-tiny bag of petites, and lost one of the DG fakie babies. Oh well!

More rescues from Lunar_Scythe's dollar bin! I should have snagged more of her G4s, I might give her a PM about those next...

COLLECTION PONIES!!! These were all ponies I needed for my collection, and I’m amazed I found so many!! (I got Fluttershy at McDonald’s the day we drove to the Meetup, LOL!) That’s Italy Peachy in there!! (I didn’t technically need Steamer, but he looked so handsome!) I won Chrysalis for being one of the participants in the Save the Chickies game!! I wanna say I tied for first, but I'm not 100% sure...

August Birthflower, Tall Tales and Trickles all came from Terra's table, they're so gorgeous!! I'm one step closer to completing my Birthflower set, and I think Trickles completes my Year 2 Rainbows!! All three are stunning, thank you Terra! I got Squeezer from Lunar_Scythe, and Princess Misty from NinaMarie! (We traded for a hairbow, that was awesome!! )

I got Steamer, Italy Peachy and Tootie Tails from Fizzerknight! Tootie Tails completes (I think) my Tropical Ponies set! Chief is from Lunar_Scythe's table, poor thing is covered in age dots! I had to rescue him!

Sweetie Pups and Kitty from Jahlila's table! I don't "collect" these, per se, but if I find them for a good price I snatch 'em up! I hope to find more, these are some of my first puppies! They need a bath, but they're already super cute!!

FAKIES!!! Love me some fakies!! I got sooooo many, I even got more fakies than collection ponies this time! I found almost all of these guys from Jahlila's free/fakie/misc toys boxes, although I got the Strawberry Shortcake pony from Lunar_Scythe's table!

(This long-necked pony is one I bought online actually, but she arrived the day before the meetup, so she TOTALLY tagged along with the other fakies!)

GOODIE BAG GOODIES!!! So many stickers, where will I put them all!?

Okay, I think ... I think that's everything. I had SUCH A GOOD TIME, GUYS!!! I hope I got all of my trading buddies/seller's names right, but if I messed up, please feel free to lemme know! I'm gonna try to leave everyone feedback in the next couple of days, so if you bought a hair-bow from me or a pony, lemme know, I'll leave you feedback!!

It was so nice to meet all of you, I really hope I can go again next year!! I hope we can keep in touch, even if I'm waaaaaay far south from most of you!

I almost forgot to tell you!  I think the boom box from the 'Get into the Groove' ponywear set might be in with that Barbie stuff...

[Eternia]

I am soooo jealous of that puppy surprise!

[wlyteth]

Nice stuff! Glad you got so much for your collection along with all those fun extras

Oh man!! I didn't see it in there, unfortunately! I pieced out all of it before I sent it to my friend, and I didn't recognize anything pony! But I'll ask him to look! He was SUPER EXCITED to see everything, so thanks for bringing it! But hey, since you're here, DO you have any of that "dollar box" stuff left?

Thanks Eternia and Wlyteth! Basically as soon as I left the meetup, I was like, "Can we drive back and do it all over again?" I still have some feedback to leave for people though...

Wish I could have come to stop by your booth but sadly i'm a little too far away

I want to dive right into your table! Sounds like you had a great time at the meet up, and found a lot of great ponies and non-ponies. Congrats!

Your table looks awesome.  I really wish I had been at the fair!  I really like your custom pony too. It's great she got a prize

Congrats and thanks for sharing

Thanks everyone, you're all so sweet!

It's run by a single organizer, it happens every year around May/June? And the organizer is Jahlila, she usually starts a thread about it a couple months before. Here's the last meetup's thread: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,365222.0.html I can't wait for next year!!
