Wow!! Congrats on all your new ponies and playsets!! I love all the set-ups you did for your photo story!! Paradise Estate sure has an amazing view!! What is that house that was the extension to Paradise Estate? It was a nice touch with the dim lighting in the bedroom, very romantic! And all those cars! That camper is so cool! What is it from? The pink Mercedes looks a lot like the Mercedes I have for my ponies. You know, I always enjoy your photo stories!! I just love to see what life is like in someone else's Ponyland!! Do you wanna be playpals?

Glad you like everything The_Loner heres the answers to your questions
The extension to the PE is actually the barbie Island Princess "magical castle Vanity" set. Its a much bigger (musical) playset but I only have it partially set up to use for my ponies. I got it reduced from TRU this summer its pretty awesome and comes with lots of accessories -plus its romantic
The camper is a customised 1976 model Barbie "traveller" camper van. I had it since childhood in the early 80's and recently finished cleaning it up. Only the outside is customised (by me originally in 1992, then again a few weeks ago)-the inside has original stickers and furnature. The dune buggy is also vintage barbie 1970 car(originally my best friends aunts car, again customised by me in 1992)The pink mercedes is made by "ever sparkle" i think in the 90's but I cant find out anything else about it. My hubby found it for me in a charity shop in a nearby town about a month ago. If its the same as yours thats awesome!
Oh and I'd love to be playpals -its just time! I visit here very late at night usually as thats when I'm free (and briefly during the morning/day to check messages and have a quick look whats happening but its not for long). I think your photoshoots are amazing!

Thank you Napperscasper! wow i never had my pics described as spectacular before!

LOL Partypony! yep dedication..or addiction..hmm.. I like your way of describing it best! I'm sure you have just as many sets as me -if not more your comment about my pic fics made my day!

and thanks so much MLPMom -its so awesome when people like my pics and stories thank you for taking a look and also for being able to share them here! So many of these ponies and playsets are from the amazing people at the Arena

Oh my goodness i feel like I just made a speech!! - *giggle*

WOW! Congrats on completing such gorgeous sets...and YAY for playsets! The pics were fantastic...such a cute story

more than likely addiction

no honestly, your collection puts mine to shame, but that's my fault for not completing sets, I just buy ones that I like.

Although I am waiting on swap boxes, etc and plus I got 4 ponies in the mail today

That’s so cool you have had some of the cars since the 80s!! I didn't have any cars for my ponies back in the day. I just looked at my Mercedes and it’s also made by “ever sparkle”. Never knew that! I bought it at a childrens’ flea market a couple years ago. It’s missing the side view mirrors and the seat belts but it’s still cool . I want to give it a real Mercedes star on the grille! I just took a picture of it if you want to see: pink Mercedes. I don’t think it’s identical to yours but I think they are very similar.

Uhm yeah, you're right . I just love taking pictures of my ponies and photography in general. It makes me happy when other people like my photos
Your photos are great, too! Can't wait to see what you come up with next

Don't forget to post the pics of your MGRs!

Oh wow thanks for your awesome comments Doodlebug the backdrops are mostly posters ( -while I'd love to do a real outdoors photoshoot we just dont have the weather for it in the UK at this time of year ). the indoors backdrops are material (velvet, chiffon,lace) or just the painted walls in the house and the bathroom scene backdrop is from a Barbie Diamond castle sticker book

Thanks The_Loner! see I knew you take great pics! and thanks for your comments about mine too

Asuka thanks for looking at my pics I havent forgot about my gorgeous MGR's - I'm saving them for... part 5

Me again this was a real big photoshoot so the picfic is only the shortened version If you wanna see a few more pics take a look at these

XX Ringlets

LOL did Pretty Vision get too much to drink at the party?

Chief and Ringlets look so cute and happy together How many kids do they actually have? My Chief is married to Milky Way and they have 6 kids. Thay have always been the large family in my ponyland, but compared to your Chief's family they don't seem so large

The car look really cool, a little like an old Mercedes. And the trunk opens! That's awesome - then there's actually room for luggage And I know it's extra fun when it's RC!

And that camper is HUGE! There must be like 20-30 pones in there?! It must be so much fun to play with And now I see your pink Mercedes is indeed the same one as mine. I see the windshield is missing; I think that was what threw me off before - it made it look a little different in the other picture.

I love the palm trees on the Barbie playset! And Paradise Estate is just awesome! I would love to get it some time!

Congrats again on everything!! Loved your pictures!! I look foreward to Part 5

Thank you and thanks for looking at my other pics

PV's a real party girl -she gets carried away sometimes

Yeah the cars are awesome! the doors and trunk open on thw white one and there is a real working radio too I didnt actually count how many ponies i put in the camper but i think there were even more than 30.
C+R are very happy together of course they really do look it dont they? They have a very big family -i havent actually done a head count but when I was doing a list for ebmerc the other day I saw just how massive their family had grown -like whenever i see a pony that looks like them their family grows because they are my absolute favourites. They have adult children, teenagers(G3's, SHS), babies, newborns and teeny tiny babies too

Part 5 will take a while to put together (I've been doing part 4 since August).. but anyways I'm looking forward to it
