yayayay most of my lolita collective stuff is here! (two items still haven’t shipped yet since they’re coming from other locations.)
the stuff I specifically picked out is super cute, the animal earrings in particular have a nice subtle sparkle to them that doesn’t show up as well on the product photos, and my two different blind packs came with waaay more than they said to expect! (the earrings were supposed to be 6 pairs and I got 11 total of 4 different designs (all different colors, although one of the plastic post ones has been a tragic victim of shipping (which will be easy to repair)), and the hair clips were supposed to be like 15 and I got 34 total of 4 different designs (with groupings of 2-5 per color excepting my one lonely navy blue sequin heart lol).) my favorites of the stuff I didn’t already know I’d get are the blue and the silver star hair clips :>
suuuper good way to quickly start building a base collection to work from, and also seems to be run by very sweet people as they emailed me a week after I put in my order to reassure me it hadn’t been forgotten they just had a big backlog of orders this month. they also make it super easy to contact them if you have any questions, because instead of sending most things through a do-not-reply they note at the end of an email when you can just reply directly to it. and allllll of this together was only $20 before shipping!! amazing!!! (I’ve still got a big set of bows and a little iron-on patch coming at some point, which was another $11, and then shipping was $18 because some stuff comes from overseas and they sent their US warehouse stuff via priority mail.)
#a look through the lolibrary#photo#I need to remember to set up a ribbon hanger for the hair clips once we move#(you just take a wide grosgrain ribbon and tie or tack it to whatever)#(it's a great way to keep a hair clip collection ready to hand)#(or anything that has a similar clothespin-style closure)#(you can also use it for things with safety-pin style closures)#(or maaaybe barrette-style closures)#(but clothespin-style has a good combination of grip and ease of removal.)#(why do I know this. I have never owned an extensive hair clip collection before this moment.)#(I think I read a lot of books about diy and organization and diy organization as a child)#(and now I have transcended beyond what the books can teach me lol)
