Today I

Got up early and worked on a job application in a cafe,

And!

Went wondering in a nearby antique store as a reward warm up, where I found ONE INTACT ORIGINAL FLUTTER PONY WING

And the other flutter pony wing in the set that was broken, but in a way I can easily fix!

Yes I stood there scraping my fingers over the bottom of the Barbie storage case I found the wings in to find the little broken off tab. To any reasonable human that little tab would look like garbage - but to me, now I have TWO ACTUAL FLUTTER PONY WINGS! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen one that wasn’t broken or a reproduction. They are made of very thin vaccuum formed plastic and if you’ve seen a photo of a flutter pony with wings, they’re likely reproductions, because it was very common for them to break when little kids played with them. There were no actual vintage ponies in sight, though!

So, fun fact, the packaging/add campaign for vintage flutter ponies says they’re good luck. Of course it’s because I put in my time and effort, but surely allowing myself to take a fun walk in an antique store before I wrote up my application helped me get in the right head space for that because…I got the job!
