Born in South Africa, Natasha moved to
Canada in her early 20s and settled
just outside of Vancouver, British
Columbia. This meant she was surrounded
by an abundance of amazing natural
beauty, interesting people from around
the world to talk to and a fair bit of
rain (which, oddly enough, she rather
enjoys). She’s always up for a good
adventure, especially if it
involves ‘stumbling upon’ movie or TV
shoots, hunting for G1 My Little Ponies
at local thrift shops, meandering
through book and toy stores, or looking
into paranormal phenomena.
Whoops! Half of my post disapeared! Ok, let's try this again...
Jennifer - As I was saying, did you mean the origional flat-footed Minty, or the recent incarnation that is pink/green and has candies as her cutie mark? Let your daughter know that the green/pink Minty IS part of the MLP:Friendship Is Magic franchise - she was spotted in a blind bag (in Australia, I believe), and rumors have been swirling for a while now that she'll be released as a brushable pony, too.
Amy - Thank you! My sister is also a fan of snow globes, especially if they have a music box in the bottom. :D
Linda - At last count I had around 400-ish... Okay, possibly more. The bulk of them are packed in tubs due to space restrictions. However, one of my goals is to one day have enough shelving in my writing room to have them all out on display!
April - I've heard so many people say that they lost their ponies through their parents 'de-cluttering'. My mom was notorious for doing that (especially while we were at school), but luckily she never got our ponies. (Not that we had many, but still!)
Renee - thank you!
Tabitha and May - disapearing into a book is such a simple, yet profound pleasure. I'm er, also guilty of buying one too many paperbacks... (I bought an ereader in part to help curb the physical book buying habit, but it hasn't slowed it down much.)
Pam - I hope you don't mind my asking, but what are flute figurines?
Dawn - I am in awe of folks who can complete Sudoku puzzles. I haven't quite been able to get the hang of them! :D
Carla - I'm also a fan of coloring! It can be very theraputic. Good luck on trimming the collections down. (I just spent the morning thinning out my books. Off to Value Village they go!)
Colleen - Do you collect ceramic horses, or Breyers?
Maureen - I am learning about all sorts of stuff today! Out of curiousity, what is shabby-chic china?
Peggy - What a great suggestion! I'll have to pop into Michaels and see if I can pick up a small pack of crystals to experiment with! I have two crystals hung by the window of the room where I keep my ponies, and when they catch the light just right and bounce rainbows around the room it creates a lovely effect. (As for the cover, the wonderful folks over at Glo Creative Inc. were responsible for it. I ADORE it, especially since that's how I see Rachel in my head.)
Christina - For some reason I've never thought to have a warm drink on hand during a soak. Methinks I'll have to try that! As for the Beanie Babies, do you still have them, or were they sent off to the thrift store like the majority of them seem to have been?
Linda B - thanks!
Linda H - Do you collect ceramic angels, or all types?
Jennifer - Wait, there was a baby Minty?!? (Are we talking about the 80s flat foot Minty, or the G3 r
