more happy stuff!
before I went home earlier, I went to Five Below because I wanted to look for Sanrio stickers. and oh my goodness, I was not disappointed one bit! these stickers are absolutely adorable!!


I was originally only gonna get the smaller pack and holofoil pack, but when I found the holographic pack I knew I needed to get that too!
of course there were a lot more stickers than the pictures show, and they're all super cute! I'm hoping to cut some of them out so I can put them in a basket at the front desk at the library, so kids can pick out the ones they like
I also found this very smol Kuromi plushie that fits right in my hand, I'm thinking it would be nice to carry her in my coat pocket hehehe. I imagine telling someone, hey, hold out your hand, and giving them this very tiny Kuromi

beyond that, I found SO MUCH SANRIO MERCH AT FIVE BELOW OH MY GOODNESS!! like it's seriously one of the best places I've seen in terms of selection! (probably only outdone by MINISO hehehe) I'm sure I'll be getting more stuff from there soon
I also remembered today that, in promoting Super Mario 3D Land back in late 2011, they released a bunch of keychains figurines of characters from the game! the ones I'm eyeing are Kitsune Luigi, the Wallop, and the Prongo! (iykyk) and probably also the Tail Thwomp hehehe.
there are of course a lot more, but those are my favourite

the Wallop and Prongo especially are so underrated, they only appeared in 3D Land!
