I always love to live vicariously through other people's brag posts, and I always assume everyone else thinks like me, so here are my latest finds for your viewing pleasure.
Recently I bought an interesting Ebay lot -- the fun kind where the first picture is fuzzy and doesn't show nearly everything that's in the lot. No one else bid, to my surprise, and now that it's arrived I've been sorting out the lot and figuring out what stuff is and who goes with which ribbon. (Which is both fun and super hard!)

Based on the accessories in the lot, there were more ponies originally in this childhood collection, so the ribbons could belong to anybody!

I never noticed before, but the giraffes on her symbol are dancing, lol. I *think* Spunky has her original orange ribbon; from what I can tell, that's what she came with. Sky Rocket (who turned out to be the mail-order version) could also be wearing her own ribbon, but several ponies apparently came with pink, gold-trimmed ribbons . . .

These guys were wrapped up in the shipping foam and I almost missed them; I then looked for the third summerwing, Buzzer, but she was nowhere to be found. The seller is very nice and when he got back to me said he'd found her at the bottom of a bin -- somehow she'd been missed -- and he's shipping her to me for free all the way from Canada.

The little My Little Puppy labrador puppy was a surprise; I didn't see it in the piles in the auction photo. I happen to already have its mom, found in a thrift store long ago.
I also forget what the pink heart thing is . . .

Then, my mom and sister and I were out shopping when we were arrested by signs advertising the biannual mega church rummage sale near our house. "Let's just stop in for half an hour!" Right . . .
We got there just before it started and as we were let in, we headed straight for the toy tables. I was so happy to find, lying on top of a small toys bin, an Apple Bloom! I've wanted her for a long time. Below her in the bin was Trixie, who I had just been thinking was so pretty! There were several other pony things at the sale that I don't personally collect, almost all of them G4: a lot of Equestria Girls, who disappeared quickly, and a talking Cadence and Celestia (?), and I think a playset. There were a few other loose G4 ponies and some blind bag figures (I think), but none that I wanted, except for a Lyra Heartstrings. She was in a bag of stuff and cost $1.50 or so. But was it too much for one pony . . . There was also this cardboard castle thingie that I passed over.
My mom is an official rummage sale expert and leaves no stone unturned. She was the one who opened the castle and pointed out, "There are ponies in here." They were so cute and they had another Lyra, and the whole thing was only $3; there was no question in my mind.
The castle, the ponies, and some Littlest Pet Shops in the corner (the LPS will be for sale, as I only collect the vintage ones.) The Lyra in the castle turned out to be the original release one (as you can apparently tell from her eye color and the way she's turning?) She's really pretty.

There are definite pluses to collecting them: they're cute; it's easy to find space for them; and they're relatively easy to find in the wild or inexpensively.

So, that was long! Hope you enjoyed reading.
