It has been almost a year since my last post. In this time I have graduated from university, started REALLY selling vintage toys, sheets, board games, and the like on Ebay, and have been thinking of new items, and building prototypes of items to add to Darling Deers Kawaii for 2014! I've been thinking about moving on to graduate school-- I've been playing with the idea of going back to creative writing for a master's degree, social work, or library sciences. Enough about me! On to the haul~
I did some small ordering from two stores I have been watching for a while-- Black Craft Cult and The Bower Studio. First, I will talk about The Bower Studio.
The Bower Studio has some very cute and interesting soaps-- the things I've had my eyes on. When Christmas began to creep around the corner I finally caved and bought two soaps from them-- one for my friend Katey and one for myself. The two soaps I finally chose in the end were the Bird Skull Soap and the Amethyst Crystal Soap.
Both of these items reminded me of something you would find in a curiosities cabinet-- something I have been aching to begin collecting for. So, my love of all things creepy and natural have caught up to me. The bird skull soap is going to sit on a shelf in my bedroom with my actual amethyst. The amethyst soap is for my friend Katey! She loves these kinds of things too and I thought it would be a good little gift for her.
Both soaps are gorgeous and super neat to look at! They were packaged very nicely-- each soap is wrapped in a shrink plastic to keep them from being damaged and then in little display boxes so you see them as soon as you open the package. Very nice!
Finally, I ordered a t-shirt from Black Craft Cult! For Black Friday they had a sale for 40% off of their items! I took full advantage of this shirt and bought one of the t-shirts I have been eyeing, the Within a Dream, Edgar Allan Poe. I was super excited when this came in the mail! It reminds me of my love of literature, poetry, creative minds, and, of course, Poe.
All in all, I feel like both of these were great purchases I made over the last couple of weeks. I can't wait to give my friend her gift and I can't wait to wear my new shirt!
Here's to a happy holiday, everyone!
