Modella/Con air toiletry bag set in "animal baroque": $4 (RSP: $16.97)
Embossed rose glass bowl: $1.25
Unicorn string lights: $4
Fur throw: $4
Swan pillow cases: $2.50
Rosette fur throw cushion: $4
All @ Dollarama.
I haven't been here in a while. There was so much good stuff!
I knew about the light box and came for that. I knew about the unicorn lights and didn't think I wanted them, but they were so cute in person.
The throw was so thick! I was surprised. It was almost twice as thick as the others so I had to get it.
They had several fur throws. I've never seen them that cheap anywhere! They're usually at least $25...the cheapest one I could find was $15 at Walmart, and it looks the same as mine.
Now I want to check out the other Dollaramas! I saw a brown one that was nice, but I'd like to find another thick one.
The cushion was nice too! I haven't seen any that good here before. It has a rosette fur pattern so I couldn't resist, but I would have preferred another colour.
I've seen similar quality pillows at winners for $16.99 so this was a deal! I'd love to find a pink one.

Bunny correction tape: $2.99
Puppy pencil sharpener: $1.99
Both @ T&T
I've never seen them sell stationery before. These were so cute, I couldn't resist! They were a bit overpriced, but I couldn't find them cheaper online at the time.
Later on I found out that I could have gotten the bunny for about half the price! Before then I had only seen it for around $5 on ebay.
They would have been random though...I would have really preferred the pink one:
The white one looks pretty good too. They only had the yellow and blue ones at that store, but I'll see if the other ones have more stock.
They also had these correction tapes for the same price:
I was pretty tempted by the pig, but the bunny was way cuter. I love how they can all stand, so they're really like little figures. Hopefully they'll go on sale, then I'll buy more!
Christmas gifts this year:
Love that box! I actually picked it out...it was $14.99 at Marshalls, which seemed completely reasonable. It was even regular price! They're way more online.

Pink Christmas tree
Double sided tape
"Fairy dog" fruit box
Hair pin case set
Cosmetic case (square)
Cosmetic case (round)
Cosmetic case (round)
Pig bento box
Strawberry bento box
$2 each @ Yokoyaya
I wish this store was nearby! They always have such neat stuff. I saw that tree, and it was instant love...after that I was pretty much on a pink rampage.
I was surprised at those crystal top boxes. They look much more expensive than they are! They totally look like glass until you pick them up.
I took the lights and decorations off of a crappy mini tree I found at Value Village for $2...I think it looks much better on this one!
I would love a big pink tree, but I don't see them for sale here. I almost wonder if I should get a few more and try to cobble one together myself.

Blue box toys: Crystal panda light up figures: $3 (RSP: $10)
Inkadinkaclings - Ornamental tile stamps: $3 (RSP: $16.99+)
Both @ Dollarama
I was hoping to find more of those clings! Now there are two more patterns I could possibly find. I hope I find the bird ones!
The toys were an impulse buy. They light up, plus they're flocked..I'm easily tempted by those kind of things. Plus there's an elephant!
They have no articulation at all, and I'm pretty sure they're discontinued now. It seems like they were really only around for a few months, and I don't think they were even released in Canada. I can only find them on the US toys r us website, and nobody's really mentioned them.
There was a website on the box, but it's gone and isn't even archived anywhere.
Most of the ones I saw weren't working anymore. Out of 7 or so boxes, only 2 of them worked! I definitely wouldn't have bought any that were dead...it wouldn't have been worth the cost of extra batteries.
I kind of want the bunny and squirrel ones, but we'll see if I find any that still work.

Hidden rabbit mug: $3.44 @ Superstore (RSP: $7)
I've seen these for a while, but I don't like paying more than $3 for a mug. They're so much more online though! I've seen similar ones go for $20 plus, so these seem worth it even at full retail. They are pretty big and nice.
Squirrel - would have been my second choice:
Fox - I liked this one the least. It doesn't have a face!
Owl - this one was alright:
I might pick up the rest if they go cheap enough, but I kind of doubt it. They've been the same price for over a year now! Stock is almost gone, so it seems unlikely.

Royal Heritage - Bird pillow cases: $2 @ Dollarama
I've never been tempted by the pillow cases here before...normally they're a solid colour, or an ugly pattern. This is the first time I've seen one with a drawing on it!
I love birds, and I thought this looked quite nice. I felt the material, and it was ok...definitely usable, and comparable with the cheaper stuff at a place like walmart.
Well, turns out the print is as nice as I thought...but the pillowcases themselves were not! I was expecting a matching set with a nice placement, but these images were in completely random places! I was hoping it would be dead center and facing the right way, but it's sideways and to the right.
The second one's even worse! There's only part of an image 1/3 of the way from the bottom...the rest is literally completely blank! It's not even the full scene either!
I guess that's why they're here. I'm a little disappointed, but the one with the lopsided image is still ok. These would probably be at least $5 - $10 somewhere else, and the images might not be aligned either (ok, probably would have been for $10).

Ceramic poodle: $1.99 @ Salvation army
They've been jacking up the prices here too...it's just sad. This was overpriced too, considering how tiny it is...but it was so cute I just had to have it.
It definitely would have been $1 or less at a more reasonable store! There's no markings on it, but it looks vintage and Japanese. It reminds me of this Bradley dog:
Same collar and everything! Hmm, I wonder if mine is actually the baby on the right? Looking at closer pictures I'm sure it is...the mold looks exact, except almost all of the facial details are gone on mine.

Cow creamer: $.74 @ Superstore (RSP: $4)
I'm so happy I found this! I've always wanted a cow creamer, but I haven't really seen them around...except used for unreasonable prices.
I looked online, and these are $10 at bed bath and beyond! I'm pretty sure that's the average price anywhere. I'm surprised superstore's regular price was so low...it's not the first time. They shocked me with their $4 dog salt shakers a while back! They're still selling them even now.

Dr. Scholl's for her comfort gel insoles: $3 (RSP: $13.97)
Lenticular dog selfie folder: $1.50
Wood cutout notebook: $3
All @ Dollarama
These were mostly impulse buys, but I couldn't help it! I just thought they were so neat. The notebook is made out of real wood! And the folder just cracks me up.
The insoles are still full price at walmart, but it turns out they have terrible reviews. I tried them out and I thought they were fine though. They're really only for high heels since they're not full length insoles.

Occasions - Pink sheep plush: $3 @ Dollarama
I don't normally buy plushes, but this one was just so cute! I love this shade of pink...it reminds me of cotton candy. Plus the plush itself is so fluffy and adorable.
I thought it over for a while, and decided to get it in the end. $3 for something that makes me happy? Why not.
The used ones aren't much less, not that I ever check out that section. I just don't care about plushes that much.
Especially dollar store plushes! Though they're all pretty decent looking, they're mostly really generic and forgettable. And even though the quality is fine, you can tend to tell which ones are from dollar stores.
This one was better quality than most. Even though it was made for dollarama, if I didn't see any of the tags, I would have thought it was from somewhere else. It's a decent size...10X10X7 inches. The ones at Toys r us that size start at $15!

There were three of these sheep there, and they all looked so different! Mine was the biggest, roundest one there. The other ones were flatter and less stuffed, plus the faces were different too. Not that they were supposed to be different, but the placement was so inconsistent they didn't match.
I saw a white one too, but I wasn't very tempted. It's got to be animatronic, or pink!

Fox print fleece pajama pants: $5 @ Bluenotes (RSP: $10)
Leopard print fleece pajama pants: $2.50 @ Urban Planet (RSP: $12.50)
I'm glad I didn't bother to go back earlier! They still had some of the fox pants I was considering last time. My mom bought them for me this time, so that was nice.
The leopard ones were such a great deal! They were on a 80% off rack. There were some $1.60 t shirts I was considering, but now I'm glad I didn't get them.

I'm really happy about that skull clutch! It was actually a buy it now, which is surprising. They only had one, or else I would have bought more! Most auctions don't even end that low.

That lizard ring is so gorgeous! If I bought it anywhere else, it would probably be around $30. It is pretty nice quality. I'm always hoping for rings like these so I'm looking forward to more.
I wasn't sure if I should pay so much for the floral gem necklace, but it just looked so pretty in pictures. It's nice in person too, but I do wish it was cheaper.

I actually didn't realize that the parrot necklace was a J.Crew dupe until I randomly saw it on the web later on. That almost always happens! Just about every necklace on ebay is a dupe of something else.
Which makes sense, since they're all made there. Most of them probably use the same molds too!

Just found out that the pink gem necklace is Shourok inspired...it resembles their Tabetha necklace the most.

I was excited about the Zara necklaces, but they were disappointing in person....they're so much smaller!! About half the size. I really didn't expect that, since they are exactly the same style otherwise. Really wish I didn't pay that much for them!
