asking for trouble

Recent Purchases – February

Let’s see what I’ve been spending my money on lately. I’ve been pretty good since it’s my birthday later this month.

enamel pins

There was no way I could resist the collaboration pin between Yoyo the Ricecorpse and ALXNDRA. I mean, it’s it is literally my two favourite things hugging each other. The hardest part was deciding whose shop to buy from but I decided to get an onigiri pin too.

As you can see, I finally moved my enamel pin collection to a bigger board so I can keep buying more! The paint I used was turquoise but it came out so much darker than it looked on the tube so the colour scheme isn’t quite what I wanted, but it’s fine.

craft kits

I picked up some new craft kits to play with on a recent trip to Glasgow. The paper cherry blossoms are so pretty and I’ve made a few different ones. I’ll blog about that in more detail eventually. I don’t have any fixed plans for the mini embroidery hoops but it was so cheap. You can find them in Tiger.

I’ve been eyeing up the Sumikko Gurashi Patisserie Re-ment miniatures so I jumped on Tofu Cute’s offer recently and picked up a couple of boxes (and some Pocky!).  I really wanted the bundt cake so I was very happy to get that and the tiny cakes and biscuits are so adorable.

new balance silver trainers

And yes! I ordered the silver space trainers from my wish list. They were a bit delayed thanks to the snow but well worth the wait. I was a tiny bit worried they’d be a bit too crazy but they’re not and a I love them a lot. I’m glad my old trainers still have plenty of wear left though as I’m not wasting these new ones in our usual rainy grim spring weather.
