Summer is here!

I really am not spending all that much this summer but it doesn't seem to phase me. I have really figured out what I want sticker wise, I love fairy tale stickers and food with faces, all others are on a case by case basis. I currently am waiting for five things in the mail, an Alice Wonderland bag from a seller on Etsy, two packs of a newly released fairy tale sticker sack from one of my favourite kawaii sellers, a package from a seller on Etsy of two packs of dress up doll stickers + a small bag with chibis on it, the things to make hair clips and possibly magnets for presents, and another package containing stickers I have been wanting for three months, as well as an Alice sticker set that reminds of Victorian times. Most of these I did not pay much at all for them, most were under five dollaers, the only thing that cost more then 10 was the bag. The bag I purchased I have checked and checked to see if it was there, I finally had the funds and could afford to purchase. I think it will be my one big purchase this summer.

I am really buying much as shipping at times does not make it worth it for me. The stores I used to frequent I rarely shop at due to the amount I have to spend to buy something there. If I am spending 15 dollars to get three things of stickers there is something wrong. Most of the items I have bought recently did not have high shipping and they were not expensive. Stores like, Janetstore I would love to buy from but when I total everything up in my cart it just doesn't seem worth it in the end just to get a few items.

What I have been doing differently is creating a wantlist on my favourites on Etsy, whenever I see something I want under 'supplies' I favourite it, that way I have a reference so I can look on different web stores for it at a cheaper price. I even have found stuff on eBay cheaper. I have two sellers I swear by on eBay. One is from Japan (Glenns-something or other...) and has a great deal of the new items out there, his prices are about the same as most sticker sellers, his shipping can get quite high but he often has stuff I can only find there. I found him orginally as he had some icecream stickers that I did not purchase and he had some. I have done numerous purchases with him. The other seller is in Hong Kong (funnycastle88), she has a large variety of older stickers but gets in new items at times. The first item I bought from her was the Alice and Friends sticker sheet. After that I have bought many stickers from her, she has great prices and shipping.

Etsy, it is a different story. I really try to look around at different sellers but usually I default to Japankawaiiya as they have the variety of stickers I am looking for. Just a few months ago I found out about Kawaii Japan Shop, they have great prices on newly released stickers and are super nice to deal with. They also have great shipping prices, which are cheaper then most Japanese sellers I deal with.

I really love all the sellers I buy from <3. I am happy I am getting some stickers I have wanted a while.
