Hello!
When I was a child I used to collect just about anything that could be collected; stamps, coins, pencils, erasers, you name it. Definitely got that from my mom. Recently my brother put his foot down and forced my mom to go through the boxes of "stuff" that she had saved after 45 years of living in the same house, and low and behold all of our childhood toys and collections resurfaced!
It has been so much fun looking through everything, but now both my mom and I are feeling the pain of having to let go....either that or start bringing everything over to my house, which is already going down the path of unhealthy clutter.
I went in with the intent of donating everything, but I'm finding it especially hard to say goodbye to the Ponies; I LOVED these back in the day! And reading about MLP Fair is only bringing out the collecting fervor in me.
Sooo....I've allowed myself to become a collector once more on the condition that I keep only what would fit onto the one free shelf I have left (thank goodness the ponies are small!). Or maybe that just means I need to downsize the Breyer horse and vintage Pyrex collections!
Anyway, happy to say that I had already managed to snag my favorites way back then, Li'l Cupcake and Li'l Sweetcake Sisters; but I'd love to add the pearlized baby ponies to the gang.
Looking forward to exploring the Arena and getting to know fellow collectors!
