Showing off some cool stuff I've bought in the last several months. Some pins, a bunch of stationery, and my Last Binding special edition pre-order finally arrived!! Click on the pics to enlarge.
Usagi and Esmeralda pins from PastelShootingStar! These were both on sale for a fantastic price and they are HUGE, like 4-5 inches. They're nearly the size of my hand lmao. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them because they are heavy, understandably, but for the price I couldn't pass them up. The seller was also very kind because Esmeralda originally showed up with a cracked ankle and they sent me a new one to replace it.
I went a little bananas ordering a ton of stuff from JojoWentBananas lol, their art is SO cute and they had a ton of good fandoms, and pretty much all their charm designs they also sold as stickers, which I love when artists do that because as you can see I did not need like 15 charms sjdhfkdjs. I did get a Felicia charm because she's my girl ♥ but I behaved and got stickers only for the rest. (Plus a Faust for my brother lol.) I'm always so happy to see Darkstalkers merch. The artist sent some freebies too, I got this adorable Aerti art as a print which was so nice of them.
Another very cute artist, KamiAri! These were their last couple months' Patreon rewards, they do a monthly stationery and/or pin club. I really love the colors of the ice cream set. (I also feel a little bad because I only signed up for May and they sent me April's as well? Idk if something got messed up in their system or what but it was a nice surprise.)
Last year I pre-ordered these special copies of the Last Binding Trilogy and they finally arrived. It was hard to get photos of the sprayed edges haha I had to use my regular copies of the books to prop them up! But the covers are sooo pretty, I'm so glad. I'll need to get individual book stands or something so I can display these outward on the shelf. They were bought through Dazzling Bookish Shop which I've seen around but never bought from before; shipping was later than the projected ship date but otherwise there were no problems.
Okay these are NOT all new notebooks I did not go that wild lmao but I can't remember if I ever shared them when I got them? And they're sooo pretty I need to share. The pink strawberry journal and green garden journal are both from Notebook Therapy and the blue moon journal is from Archer & Olive. I have no idea what I'm going to do with that moon notebook, it's so gorgeous I didn't want to pass it up because I know Archer & Olive limited releases go fast, so I bought the traveler's size so I could at least justify it like oh I don't have any notebooks in this specific size yet lol.
Despite how this post makes it look I have been very economical this month!! No-buy July for me...if only because I have been saving up for an upcoming anime convention, so really I'm just biding my time in spending too much money sjdhfksjds
I did however drop some dough on this for-charity Jayvik zine. (Pre-orders are still open, go check them out!) I love the merch and art they've shown, and they chose a charity that aims to help people with mobility disabilities to donate the proceeds to. Everything looks awesome, I'm excited to eventually have it in hand.
