Swag from a tech fair!  They were giving away a power bank worth $16.99 if you went to all of the booths and collected stamps.  The line up for that was soooo long...I thought they'd run out long before I got to the table.

The wait was long, but I'm thankful I got one.  I also got this new intel flashlight/screwdriver set by spinning the wheel!

You had to buy something first, but you also got a $10 gift card if you downloaded their app.  This was such a generous fair!

Bag of Polly Pocket stuff:  $3.99 @ Value Village

I mainly wanted the Blythe, of course.  But I also wanted the shoes!  I was excited when I saw so many floating around....but when I opened it up, I noticed that they were mostly singles!


There's only four complete pairs.  I was pretty shocked!  There are almost 40 singles pairs of shoes, so I was expecting several sets.  I thought the white ones were a set at first, but it turns out they're a different mold.

It also came with a bunch of Polly clothes:


I could probably cut a few down to use with my Blythes.  Plus some other Polly Stuff:


There was a ton of stuff in that bag!  I didn't think there was that much when I bought it, so it's a pretty good value for the price.  I just wish it had more sets of shoes!

Freebie from L'occitane...love that they always come in a neat tin!  Well, the rest of the stuff is great too.  Those sizes are pretty generous!

LPS Blythe and Polly pocket car:  $1.99 @ Value Village

Shockingly, it's the exact same Blythe I just found a few days ago!!  What are the chances? 

One time I also found the EXACT same Blythe twice on the same day, and in the same city too!  Pretty fun when that kind of stuff happens.  I don't mind having any number of doubles when it comes to Blythes!

I also have three of these cars now.  I didn't really plan on having that many, but I thought I might as well keep it.


A package from Samplesource.  I missed it entirely the last time, so I'm glad I got something this time.

I was pretty annoyed though...I was on the site soon after they posted it, but I couldn't get through!  I had somewhere to go, so I couldn't check again until hours later.  Almost all gone by then...they actually only offered me 2 samples, so getting 4 was a nice surprise!

Hype - Flashbeats skull stereo:  $3 (RSP:  $10+)
Rubber ducky nightlight:  $3 (RSP:  $8+)

Both @ Dollarama

Both are things I've bought already, but I liked this colour speaker better. 

As for the other one, the last one didn't work properly!  Both the showerhead AND the duck were supposed to light up, but only the latter did for mine.

This one does work properly, but ironically, I think the broken one looks better now!

TMNT Snack o sphere:  $2.50 (RSP:  $5+)
TMNT - Lunch box w/cutlery by Zak! Designs:  $3 (RSP:  ~$10+)

Both @ Dollarama

I wasn't sure about either, but I picked them up because they're fun, and sort of useful.  I just noticed that the lunch box isn't microwavable, so it's not as useful as I thought! 

But at least it has a built in component for cutlery.  I suppose I could use it for salad or something.

I thought the snack box was cute, but it totally wasn't worth $2.50, especially compared to the lunch box!  It seemed like the kind of thing you could buy WITH food already in it for roughly the same price.

But I bought it anyway.  They had all four turtles there, but one is good enough.

Sindy doll and LPS blythe:  $3.99 @ Talize

More than I wanted to pay, but I can't resist those blythes!  There were two other dolls in the bag, but I already redonated them.

The Sindy's from the 80's.  I think she might be Starlight Sindy:


I think all of the Sindys I have are from the 80's.  I'd love to find an older one!  Though any kind of Sindy is pretty hard to come by in the first place.

Tramontina - 8" roast knife
Tramontina - 8" bread knife

$2.50 each @ Dollarama

They probably only retailed for $10 each, but this is a good quality brand!  The first knife has a lifetime warranty, and the other one has a 25 year warranty. At the very least, I'm sure they're worth the price I paid!

I have some smaller knives from them that have performed well over the years, so hopefully these will be the same way.  I hope to find other ones at other stores!

Tzumi superthin pocket juice charger:  $3 @ Dollarma (RSP:  $20)

Finally!  I heard about this for a while, but I couldn't find them anywhere until now.  A total steal considering the retail price!

This seems to be the only colour that Dollarama got, but that's fine with me!

Ceramic chick sugar pot
Cutout bird trash can
Ceramic cat seasoning pot

$2 each @ Daiso

I love this place!  They always have such neat stuff.  All of these seemed like a steal for the price.

I'm not crazy about the colour of the trash can, but the design is just beautiful!

The cat didn't seem as worth the chick since it's way smaller, but I couldn't help it.  Useful ceramics always seem worth it.

Both of them had a whole series of similar ceramic items, but the rest were really tiny...they just didn't seem worth the price in comparison.  I was sure tempted by the other chicks though!


I really liked that soy sauce pot (the one in the very middle, it does have a lid  not shown), but it was just so tiny.  I don't think I could really do anything with it.

Glittery ice cream mirror:  $2.50 @ Buck or two

A bit more than I wanted to pay, but this mirror is pretty big.  I also love that it's clear and glittery!  It was the only one there, so I had to get it.

Purple rhinestone mouse:  $3 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $7.95 - $15)

Contrary to what I said in my last post, I couldn't resist picking up the purple version!  It was a lot prettier in person, plus this was the first time I've seen it anywhere.

I think I have all of the colours now.  Now to figure out which one to use!

Kismet - Luca cobalt plaid tank top:  $2.99 (RSP:  $18.90)
Kismet - Long lace tank in enchanted:$2.99 (RSP:  $16.90)
Kismet - Long lace tank in lagoon:$2.99 (RSP:  $16.90)

Kismet - Catarina cardigan in masala melange:  $4.99 (RSP;  $49.90)
Kismet - Bridget top:  $2.99 (RSP:  $34.90)

All @ Bootlegger.

They sent me the wrong colour for the last top, but it's still a deal for the price.

The cardigan was much better than I expected!  I sized up because it was the only size left, but it didn't end up being too oversized.  It was pretty comfy though, probably  moreso than if I had gotten my regular size.

Those long lace tanks are amazing, so I'm getting any colour I can find...once they're on sale of course!
