They are like dancing around and throwing rose petals on me this past week. I can only figure they know that today was probably the last time for going to the flea market for another 6 mos or so, and decided they better throw everything in at once!
Anyhows, the first thing I came across were 6 pixietails. I don't have pics, but when the guy said $2 for them, I was happy to be not going home empty handed
Later I found an okay Milky Way for $3, but I decided to think about it, as I do have her, and she had some marks. I figured if I found nothing else, I'd come back and rescue her.
Then about half way thru the market, I spotted a toy booth. I mosied on over, figuring I'd see a lot of g3s, fakies, etc and spotted the following in a little box full of ponies
Nibbles and Dibbles! In fairly nice condition, and once again, the miracle that I didn't already have them!
So I started digging, came across a really rusty baby firefly, who I left behind and another baby who I snatched.
Then I gazed around and realized I was only looking in the baby/small pony box, and that there was an adult box too, with some of the following peeking out:
Flat footed Cotton Candy and Anniversary Cotton Candy- I usually wouldn't buy another Cotton Candy, but she was in reeeaally good condition, and I never got the anniversary set...they needed eachother
An okay shape Speedy and a very dirty and slightly rusty Flowerbelle in need of a bath, but nice pink hair! These are the worst shaped of the ones I bought, and Flowerbelle is an upgrade, as my old one has major hair cuts!
And so I dug them out, a pony here, a pony there. And then had a pile of ponies...3 babies, and 12 adults. I looked up at the lady, who was fussing w/her cell phone and asked the dreaded question...."how much?"
When I got her attention, she came over, pointed at the adults and said.............$1 each
Then pointed to the babies................50 cents.
So $13.50 for the above...and the following:
Some Handsome Daddies
An upgrade SS Northstar and an upgrade Up Up and Away, with VERY pink hair, my other two have WHITE hair ;-)

An upgrade SS ANGEL (my other one was NOT bad either, this one is just slightly better) And an upgrade SS Twilight, also with very pink hair, unlike my white haired other.
Hair color comparison

A GORGEOUS and first Princes Pristina!! Her jewels are hardly scuffed and her tinsel is only slightly crinkled...actually just bent here and there. *Sqeeeeaalll* I was shocked.
Oh Yeah
That last baby pony?
A baby Blue Ribbon. Those last two nearly made me wet my pants ;-) I sure did something to please my pony luck gods, because I NEVER expected to find the last two...for $1.50!
*PHEW* I R Pony Sated right now ;-)
