Cat solar dancer
Unicorn mirror
Heart sponge
Cat absorbent mat

I've been looking for a pretty ladle/spatula so I'm glad I found them today.  The words have almost disappeared just from the first use though!

Outlet covers
Spice container
Lucky cat bank
Solar lucky cat

$2 each @ Daiso

Those spice containers remind me of fisher price toys.  I've seen a cowboy and a chef before...I'll probably pick them up if I see them again!

Felt like having more lucky cats after that mug I picked up.

3 floral storage containers
Pink light up birthday glasses
Solar devil

$1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

I was surprised to see those pretty containers there!  Looks like something Daiso would sell.  They're a bit small, but I couldn't resist.  

They had them in the hot pink that I usually get, but it looked prettier in this pastel purple.  I hope they get them in bigger sizes!

Chrome pink earbuds:  $1.65
Solar dancing cupid:  $1.25
Solar dancing elephant:  $1.25

All @ Dollar Tree

I've actually wanted that cupid for a while, but the others were twice the price or more!  For the exact same one...that definitely didn't seem worth it, especially since I've only paid a bit over a buck for my other solar toys.

So I couldn't resist when I saw this one here!  They had a devil too, but I thought it was the old one I had:


But when I double checked the website, I saw they have a redesigned one!


It's way cuter than the one I have!  I didn't even notice it was different, since I didn't bother to look closely in the store.  I'll definitely pick it up next time!

The elephant in action:


They actually had a different pink elephant that I wanted to buy before, but I didn't because I thought I shouldn't:


Now I wish I had gotten it!  I wonder if some store has some old stock somewhere.  They'd sure match!

I'll try not to go overboard with the solar toys, but I'll definitely pick up the cuter ones in the future.

Solar dancing devil:  $1.25 @ Dollar tree
Bag of toys:  $1.99 @ Value Village
Impo - White snakeskin/leather clutch:  $7.99 @ Value Village

I don't normally go to dollar tree, but I had a paid shopping interview so I went there today.  That was great!  It was easy money just for having to walk around and share my opinion about their products.

I didn't think I'd buy anything there, but this devil caught my eye.  I can normally pass up on solar toys, but some of them are just must haves -- this is one of them!  For the price, why not.  Found an animated stock picture of it:


Since I was in the area, I of course had to go to Value Village too.  First I found this bag of toys:


I thought the sheep were from some anime.  They were cute, but I mainly bought them because they're the exact same style as these one piece figures I love.  

Anyway, turns out it's from a Chinese cartoon called "Gentle goat and big big wolf."  Such a strange name!  The internet says that show is as big as the Simpsons, which seems shocking.  You'd think I would have heard of it in that case!

 I actually found the set on ebay for $110!  Turns out they came with a bunch of robots to sit in...which I definitely wouldn't have expected:

 
Also had to get patch because of my recent lalaloopsy kick.  I've seen him for $60 new on ebay!  People have actually paid $15 for him in this condition, which surprised me.  I didn't know any of them were more-than-retail collectible.

I wasn't sure about the clutch, but I just love my snakeskin.  The design looks great in theory, but holding it, I found it kind of plain.

I bought it because it was in completely pristine condition!  That's really rare.  So rare, I just can't pass them up when the opportunity presents itself!
