A Pleasant Surprise



Myles and I headed out today feeling totally bored and very tired of being here in this city. It is a major holiday this weekend so at least the crowds and traffic have thinned out in the city. We decided to check out a new department store that opened up - of course it is the same as the department store that is a few blocks away - it carries all the same crap....until we get to the 7th floor. As the escalator brings us to the top I see in the distance a Blythe Doll.....yipee! As a previous post indicates...I went on a Blythe Doll shopping spree in Japan but they are very very hard to find in Korea. I was pretty surprised to see that they had 4 large ones and many petite ones. So needless to say I bought one big Blythe and one Petite Blythe.....YAY!! I bought Good Neighbor Cafe...she was just released August 25th and Marmalade Heart (also new)

Good choices. Thy are cool. I love the bear/baker outfit.

It's exciting running into items you thought were only sold in one country. I just found Bohla watches in a store here and I thought they were only sold in Japan because that's what a Japanese friend told me. Then I was at a another friend's house who had one sitting on his table and when I shouted "where did you get this!" He said he bought it in Japan, again I was devastated.

Indeed! I hadn't planned on buying any more but because I happened upon them in an unlikely (not the least likely though) place I thought I should take advantage of the opportunity. I can buy them in North America - but they are more expensive and the selection is very limited.
