Dreams really can come True! 2 out of 6 Holiest Grails achieved!
Back in early March, I was contacted by the lovely Vinecote from pinpics, asking if I was interested in some carousel pins he had, when all was said and done we decided on a price and I was so delighted! Finally I was going to get 2 pins from a set I feared would truly never be anything but a fond dream, those were the pins 23955 and 23954 Cinderella and Ariel from the 2003 Disney Auctions Princess carousel set (in their original packaging no less!)! But we hit a bit of a snag when it came to shipping, I couldn't afford to both buy these lovelies and pay to have them shipped with insurance aaaaaalll the way from the UK to Washington state USA. So what was I to do? Well luckily Vinecote was going to be heading to WDW in late April/early May, so he would be willing to bring the pins with them and give them to me there, the only problem was I couldn't afford to fly out to Florida and I had no family or friends who lived out there! Luckily DPF came to the rescue in the form of the magical magician, MerlinEmrys! Merlin was willing to help pick-up these beautiful pins and send them safely back to me here in Washington. It has been a long (and extremely stressful) journey but it was all worth it because in the end, A dream of mine was fulfilled and now I have these two pins in my collection! A BIG thank you to Vincote, DPF, and Merlin for helping me achieve what i believed to be impossible!
The hunt continues for the last 4 but for now I am content to admire these two for a long while!
