Blythe Doll for Sale: Time After Alice

Time After Alice

Dolls are coming and going here, and this means I’m culling and collection. I have this pretty Neo Blythe stock doll from Takara for sale. She’s called Time After Alice and comes with part of her stock and has basically been standing around in my curio since the day I purchased her. You can see more details from about here in my Kawaii Doll Shop.

Accordion Style Sewing Basket Sale

Last January, I scored a wonderful deal on an accordion style sewing basket from a company called Garrett Wade. I love this basket and ended up filming a video about where I unbox and show it off. I probably should make a follow-up video because I use it so much and have found it works perfectly for my sewing needs.

No affiliation, but I thought I’d post about this basket here on my blog because Garrett Wade has a 15% off sale going on right now that ends on 11/11/2020. This basket is pricey, so managing to get a discount on it is much appreciated.

Why I’m Closing My Etsy Shops

I’m clearing out inventory in both my Etsy shops – Kawaii Doll Shop and Lotus Flower Kawaii – with everything marked down by 40%. I will officially lock them up at the end of the year.

Kawaii Doll Shop has an assortment of doll art and customizing supplies as well as accessories for dolls and doll lovers.

Louts Flower Kawaii has some masks and yoga and nature inspired accessories.

I talk about the reasons why I’m closing my Etsy shops in a recent video, which you can find on my Peace Craft Love Youtube channel. It was not an easy decision to make. I enjoy having a little side gig, but for the reasons I mention in the video, I think I made the right decision.
