She must have done her research, because everything was perfectly catered to my tastes. Thank you again!

ember86, I got my box tonight! I am absolutely flabbergasted by the amount of amazing things you got for me! I am so, so, so  excited and I took lots of pictures to share with everyone. I'm on a tiny tablet tonight so I'm going to wait to upload all of them tomorrow but I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am! Thank you oodles and oodles! 

[Akemi-chan]

You're very welcome Tiella!  Thanks to your Etsy faves, I've found a ton of cute things for myself as well as my own dollies, lol.  We have similar tastes!

I haven't received my box yet. I moved out of the dorms earlier than expected, and the college PO didn't forward my mail immediately. They sent it out to my home address yesterday.

Okay, here's my brag post! I'm sorry ember86 I did take photos of every single thing you got for me and of everything in the box and then put together but that was a ton of photos so I just chose the ones that ended up looking the best and representing the most items together.  Here we go!

Let's start with some extras!

Cardcaptor Sakura is one of my favorite titles so I was super excited to see these! I put them all together and now have split them between home and work.

I love Marie and this is my first Tsum Tsum! So so so cute!

I think I squealed when I opened this. Re-Ment coupled with 80s nostalgia is a surefire hit with me but then the specific one that focused on a stereotypical shoujo anime? Could anything be more perfect? I wish now I'd had Liliana model the wand at least but I was so eager to show off all my paper crafts. Making them reminded me so much of the furoku (free stuff) that came each month with Nakayoshi (a popular manga anthology targeted at young girls which ran Sailor Moon as well as Cardcaptor Sakura in their day). Except it was all doll sized which makes it 600% cuter!

Liliana at last! She's modeling a Re-Ment outfit and once again my very favorite from the line as I love ballerinas! She's on top of the most lovely doll trunk I've ever seen which you'll see the inside of shortly but I wanted to show its outer perfect ballet motif now.

ember86 snagged me Merl's entire adorable outfit! Pullip clothes have the most exquisite detail and this under-dress barely shows once the whole outfit is on so here Liliana is modeling a sweet dress for summer in front of a binder featuring my beloved Sailor Moon.

And finally, let's bring it all together! (Sorry, it's been horribly grey and rainy here as of late so the lighting isn't the best.) Here's Liliana strapped into the perfect doll trunk in her magical sailor uniform (seriously, look up Merl's story) with several of her new pretty things spilling out of the storage the other side of the trunk features. Isn't the paper lining lovely? My only concern now is I want to take her with me everywhere and she probably doesn't belong at work... 

Thank you ever so much ember86. I couldn't have picked more perfect things if I had been with you myself. I am so happy just looking at these pictures and to think it's all my stuff, it doesn't quite seem real. Thank you for all you did to give me such a delightful surprise!

[ember86]

I'm so thrilled you love everything Sumire! I was little nervous since I'm not too familiar with Pullip dolls so I didn't know if the outfit would fit right.

[Sumire]

Not only did I love it, my cat did too!

Ack! So sorry it took so long to take and upload these pics! I had a mishap with USPS, then other things in my life.

Anyway, I'm really happy with my box! As I opened everything, it was like Christmas morning! So many cute extras (Luna plushie! Kokeshi doll erasers! Pandas!), and I got one of the dolls I really wanted! When I saw her I was so happy I squealed! Thank you so much, Akemi!
