I'm not happy with this one, but I wanted to do something for the vernal equinox yesterday.

I do like the little jigsaw pieces, and the little book with the flower covers.

Thank you! I think I should've stuck with vintage or non-vintage and not tried to mix the two! I have more of the puzzle stickers. They shall reappear in the future!

It's very cheerful, regardless!

Thank you!

Cute Mang sticker!!!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I got two of those at the concert from an ARMY. Yes, I like the Mang side. I might rip that page out and do something with it. The colors are very spring-y. Also, I just happened (when I arrived in New York City) to walk up 7th avenue from the train station to Central Park and there is a Line Friends store in Times Square. And there was so much stuff and so many ARMYs there. And there was a big statue of new!Mang and jhope had signed it. It was all very pricey and I didn't see anything that I felt I could buy without guilt (given our financial situation) but there is a back room of 75% off stuff. It was random (furry bath mats, little trash bins) but cheap (like $5-10).

I dream of visiting a Line Store someday... my housemate went to the one in Tokyo a few months ago and she bought a handful of small plushies, but most items at full price weren't worth it. I think I just want to see a bunch of BT21 merch in one place, they sure as hell don't sell any of it at all in Europe, haha.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Right. A key chain plushie was between $21-$30 (US dollars), they were cute (especially the RJ and the fish pastry/cookie that is famous in Korea and an avocado toast one) but I just couldn't justify it BUT there is a back room (remember that if you visit one). The only things I was tempted by was the Angel/Villian line which was buy one get one 30% off (but even so, it wasn't cheap). But I didn't get anything (except a gift from the back room).

ETA: they used to carry some BT21 stuff at my bookstore (Barnes & Noble) in town but I have seen everything on the clearance table in the past year so I think they are phasing it out (and I haven't seen it at another Barnes & Noble, for example, at the mall).

ooh i like the pressed(?) flowers and the one on the top left! cute elements.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! Yes, I only had one of those. I should have kept the vintage elements like that one in one collage and put the more modern ones in a separate collage, but live and learn.
