CURRENTLY LOVING...my plastic ponies...
I have many (too many)
collections of quirky things, but there is something about my plastic
horse collection that has me feeling inspired recently. I usually have
them spread around my loft; sometimes I use them in whimsical dinner
party centerpieces. However, a few weeks back I gathered many of them
up and gave them a nice home on the shelves above my desk in the
office. Isn't there something so lovely about a collection of silly
objects that makes you grin? I guess it's the little girl in me, but
toy horses are just super fun.
makes me grin too! love it joy ;)

I used to collect Breyer horses when I was younger; This makes me want to get them out of their box in the attic! Thanks!

love! i collected breyers too as a kid, and though i've thinned the herd, i keep a few out. they look quirky and fun or romantic and glam, depending on the room/setting.

I don't know if Rebecca will read this, but I wanted to say thank you to her for being such a constant source of inspiration during her stay at MS Weddings. Oh yes, and a thank you very much must go to Joy as well!

I still have a lot of my childhood toys with me, some I buy them now cos I can afford them. Can't wait to get my own place to proudly display them!

Boy does that bring back memories. I had a plastic pony and Madame Alexander doll collection when I was a kid. We had a house fire when I was in high school and they all melted into one big blob of plastic! I hadn't thought of them in years. Thanks for the nostalgia.

I totally LOVE this collection of horses. My best friend had tons of Breyers when we were little and we would have horse auctions and make up gambling games. :) Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories. It makes me want to run out and collect a bunch of horses!
