My Moonie Purchases

Lately I've been spending a lot, if not most, of my spending money on Sailor Moon merchandize! In my opinion, this is not a bad thing. I'm making up for what I didn't have in my childhood! I don't make a lot of money so I don't like to spend too much on a single thing.
I also have TERRIBLE buyers remorse, I'm perfectly OK with spending money for someone else, but when I buy myself something I really want, I feel super guilty!! I wish I could fix it, but it can't be helped! So I hunt the internet for the best BANG for my buck! Or something close to it!
So I'm here to list what I've found at a really good price!

www.farmgoodsforkinds.com has some small Sailor Moon items that were really cheap!
I bought ten of these little 6" rulers. The website only lists three different kinds but I got four different kinds, which was a nice surprise! Considering they don't allow you to choose which ones you can get.
Price: $0.12

This tooth brush I've had before but way back in middle school! So then one I have is all used up and probably lost within the jungle of the junk in my closet! The brush is pretty cute, although either it was previously open or the glue on it is just so old that any kind of pressure that was applied to it the old glue couldn't handle.. WHO KNOWS! Since I was planning on not ever opening any of this, it gives me a perfect excuse to use it!
Both of these paired together was: $2.95


This is a cute little address book. The cover of this address book is the same as a journal I have previously owned. It feels really sturdy and its a bit thin, I guess I was comparing it to the journal which would, for obvious reasons, be thicker since it uses up more pages.
I was expecting a cute Sailor Moon themed design on the inside, but its nothing special, pretty basic address book on the inside~
Price: $0.99

And this was a pencil tin that is super cute but most likely a boot leg.
Price: $1.95

Overall it was an awesome super deal for a lot of these :3
Although the shipping was more than all the items put together, I must admit that it was worth it because they got here within 3 to 4 days! :D

More Moonie Purchases to come!

Finds from Out Of The Past Vo.II



TODAY'S FIND:





I love the look of milk glass!
this was a cute little container that with an opening on the top, and not to mention a cute little handle! she has a good selection of milk glass things. I've bought a set of drinking milk glasses, and I think I'll keep going back for more! :3


I bought this one because its not as expensive and it reminded me of the Fenton milk glass :3 but not as fancy~~
I'm not quite sure what I'll put in it! but I think I'll use it for buttons or something once I get my sewing table and organize my sewing supplies!


Since I always help her organize her things she is always giving me something in return of my voluntary services! She knows my passion and love for Sailor Moon so she is making an effort to find Sailor Moon things for me! I hadn't gone to see her in about a week but she said she's been holding onto that comic book for me until I finally came to see her. Needless to say Linda is THE SHIT! Totally love that lady!

Until Next time!!

Finds from Out Of The Past Vo.I

There is a local store here in Austin that is called OUT OF THE PAST. It's an awesome store if you have time on your hands and patience to dig through her mountain of stuff!!

To give you an idea of what her store looks like:

The owner is an awesome lady by the name of Linda! She can come off as "rude" or "not nice" when you first meet her, but she's a sweet heart once you get a chance to get to know her! My husband and I ADORE HER!

It always seems like what she has in her store is ENDLESS! In most cases it is because once she sells something she fills in whatever space she's emptied, so every time I go there, I ALWAYS see something new!

ANYWAY! I want to start reporting on things I find that, in my opinion, are really neat!
Today's Item is:

I've always found this to be super cute!
It looks like it's a little Dutch boy and girl. They are a bit faded but what do you expect for in a vintage shop? She keeps moving them throughout the store, so I always have a fear of her selling them. I would like to get them but I don't know what I would do with them!

Her toy selection is awesome! We've found so many cool toys, even some that I remember from my childhood! But I'll show off more next time!
