My Little Pony- The Advent Calendar

Well it's been a long while since I've had an advent calendar, but this one was too cute to resist and also a bargain from a 99p store (I've also seen them in Matalan). I'm sure my childhood ones had a supersize chocolate for Christmas day itself, but this one only goes up to 24th. It does make up for it with a cut out Princess Twilight Sparkle crown on the back though. I've just made a Twitter account (@little_carousel), so I'll be sharing my chocolates daily on there.

EDIT- I just noticed the typo in my watermark- oops! =S

Hello!

Hello and welcome to My Little Carousel blog! The name comes from my love of both carousels and My Little Pony. I’ll be featuring my collecting and crafting antics, from trawling car boot sales for retro toys to reviews and customisation projects. My other interests include Hello Kitty and Sanrio characters, animes including Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, PuriPara, Digimon and Pokemon, Lalaloopsy dolls, Ever After High, Sky Dancers, Polly Pockets and Sylvanian Families.

I thought I’d start with my very favourite My Little Pony. Whilst I’m a tad obsessed with G3 and G4 Pinkie Pie, G1 Flower Bouquet wins prize place in my collection. For starters she’s one of the year 7 Merry Go Round Ponies, then I’m a bit of a floral obsessive and her pastel colour palette is just so pretty. Mine’s not perfect, but I was really pleased to find one with properly pink, factory curl hair, and will be keeping her out of sunlight so she stays just as lovely as she arrived.
