Like someone said let's bury a pony in the garden , it should be fun?Maybe they were hoping they'd get a pony tree?No weird stories here, I'm afraid. My life is pretty boring.

Quote from: Leave a Whisper on January 19, 2016, 08:33:19 AMQuote from: Taffeta on January 17, 2016, 11:27:49 AMI have loads of awesome memories of carbooting with my sister between about 1995 (when we discovered MLP was not in stores any more) and 2000. My sister was almost 8 when we began carbooting, and small, cute and very clever. So she was always getting things given to her for free. Especially dragons. But we were a hunting team. I remember one carboot sale, she spotted Lightning and Princess Pearl, 2 ponies I had been desperate for since a child. She literally threw her arms around the box and LAY on it so nobody else could get to them first. I still remember her screeching "Princess Pearl and Lightning!" at the TOP of her voice.So my Pearl and Lightning are thanks to my sister. At that time there was another collector around, and she was at the stall at the same time as we were. Thus Naynie's antics. But because of that, the other collector (who was a brat) got an Italian Heart Throb from the stall. Naynie was in love with Heart Throb at that time, and she wasn't sold in the UK, so finding her here in any form was very unusual. This brat collector waved Heart Throb in her face, and my sister wound up in floods of tears.So. Roll on to 1998, and this collector sold up all her ponies (or left them to her Dad to sell) at the carboot sale. And believe me, I went through every single box to find that Heart Throb.Naynie now owns her. Although she has a regular HT as well, now, and a Baby one, that one is special, as she was her reward for Pearl and Lightning that day .The other weird story also involves my sister. We were on holiday in Wales, and on the beach we found a stranded starfish. We wanted to help it, so we got our bucket and spade and put it in the bucket and took it out to sea. I don't know if we managed to save it, but we tried. Before we put it out into the sea, Naynie named it. She called it "Barnacle" because he was her favourite boy pony, and she didn't have one yet.That weekend, when we came home, Barnacle was at the Car Boot sale, with his hat and bandana. He is really in excellent condition, his hair still curly. He's also now part of Naynie's pony herd. He's the only boy pony I don't have myself, because, honestly, I can't beat the starfish karma Say...can I borrow your sister next time I go pony hunting? I'll pay her in ponies and three fancy meals.

I dug one up! No, literally, I found one in buried in the ground when I was helping my sister dig a garden at her new house. She took forever to clean up and still has a cut on her hind hoof from where the shovel hit her, but I wouldn't change a thing about her.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAfter clean up:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe looks pretty good except for the cut from the shovel. I thought about fixing it with apoxie & repaint but I think it gives her character so I left it.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Last year, I was at Walmart and bought a Rarity and Princess Luna brushable 2-pack. This toy was like 3 years old. The Walmart wasn't just behind on their toys, because everything else was the current stuff and I had been there before and they didn't have this two-pack. I always wondered how it got there. Did someone return it after 3 years? If so, kudos on their receipt keeping skills.One time I got a g1 baby in good condition for free at a yard sale. It was odd because it was the only g1 pony there and the people were selling g4 ponies. So why was that one free if you're selling other ponies? At another garage sale, that was like at a little car repair place, it was nothing but tools except for some g1 ponies!
In 2005 or 2006, I can't remember, I found a G1 newborn twin sitting in the grass by the road only a block from my home. Scariest part was it was one I needed!( my sis joked it was coming to joinnites sister, since I had just gotten the other one).Another time a kid I know mabe her mom stop and rescue a baby pony out of the road so she could give it to me, hehe; it was baby Starbow!
