fresh and clean sweet lily + a few others!

[vira]

well, big news; after four very long and arduous years, i finally graduated from high school! :'-) so, what do i do to celebrate? buy ponies, of course!

i went up to one of the vintage toy stores in my neck of the woods and met some very sweet ponies! i wound up getting sweet lily, masquerade, sky rocket, and FF bluebelle.

bluebelle and sky rocket weren't too dirty, and masquerade just had some surface grime, so it wasnt too hard to tidy them up a bit.

but sweet lily :'-0 she had some Very tangled hair with all sorts of mystery lint and fibers, i think it took me almost an hour to get her hair how i wanted it.

but it was worth it!! here are some pics :-)

she still has some tail rust and some lovely highlighter pink eyeshadow, but it doesnt bother me that much! im just glad somebody loved her before me :-) but i feel like i might have to get a bell jar or something to keep her in, since i would very much like to avoid having to de-lint her again!

First of all, big congrats on graduating high school! Although that makes me feel so old, haha. And well done on the pony finds! It's such a thrill finding ponies in the wild like that. Really love your Sky Rocket and Masquerade especially!

omg!! yes i did!! im assuming youre familiar with it?

[Emberly]

 Yes! It was featured on fox news in 2004? I think.  Back then we drove up there and bought about 20 ponies... they were much cheaper then and each one included a free MLP brush from a MLP brush box. those were the days!

Congratulation on your graduation! Treating yourself with some ponies is more than justified

I'm always amazed at what people can find in thrift stores... I've never found a pony in a thrift store. Maybe I have to fly across the ocean to find some?

These girls cleaned up so nicely And Sweet Lily's eye shadow is quite a highlight

[Shy Violet]

They're all beautiful!

[Spinky69er]
