Review: Pizzicato Kei, Macaron Medal

Hello again!  Today I will be reviewing my new Macaron Medal from Pizzicato Kei on Storenvy.  One night while casually perusing storenvy for brooches and pins to add to my collection, I came across these "Macaron Medals" from Pizzicato Kei.  The idea of possessing a "medal" that resembled a sweet treat was just too tempting to pass up, just like real macarons, and so I quickly found and purchased my favorite of the bunch.

Packaging and contents.

It was all wrapped up in a cute little bag.

Sealed with a cute glittery heart sticker.

Macaron medal, business card, and cute pin extras!

In honor of fortitude when faced with dessert on a full stomach...

Quality: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ (Extremely well made, the crocheting is flawless and the little beaded sprinkle details are just heavenly.)
Shipping: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ (It was shipped within 3 business days, and I received it in two business days, overall 5 business days or 7 days from date of purchase, I consider this fast for an independent business)
Price: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ($8.00 for a lovingly handmade item, so worth it!)
Communication: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ (I contacted the owner regarding my order because I didn't receive a receipt from storenvy, nor any information regarding shipping; storenvy emails have not been getting through to me lately. She got back to me the same day, and to my surprise my item was already shipped and delivered.)

Review: Tokyo Otaku Mode, Pote Usa Loppy Backpack

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog!  Today I'm going to review my Pote Usa Loppy Backpack from Tokyo Otaku Mode.  I found out about Tokyo Otaku Mode while searching for those famous Alpacasso plushies.  While perusing the site selection I came across the most adorable bunny backpacks made by the same company that produces the Alpacasso plushies: Amuse.  Unfortunately, they were already sold out but there was an option to sign up to be informed when the item is restocked.  I submitted my email address just in case, although I did not want to get my hopes up as I have with many restock email lists from Christmases past.  After weeks in desperation I tracked down a taobao seller and figured I would pay the extra amount just to get myself a bunny pal.  But just as I was about to submit my order to my taobao agent, I received the email I had been waiting for.  I submitted my order to Tokyo Otaku Mode on a Monday and received my order the following Monday.

"Shiroppi" came in a large box to avoid him arriving squished and deformed.

Box contents.

Free gifts: Tokyo Otaku Mode plastic folder and button.

Folder art.

"Shiroppi," the blush is so precious!

Pink straps ^-^

Polka dot lined pouch.  It's not that large but it can carry the essentials  (phone, small wallet, keys, lip balm).

Quality: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ (well made and oh so soft)
Shipping: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ (Mailed from Japan to the US and received in a week from day of ordering, so fast!)
Price: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ($24.99, pretty good for a cute high quality plush backpack)
Communication: N/A

This item is once again out of stock, but I suggest signing up for the email list to be notified when/if they do restock, and considering how fast these go, make sure you jump at the chance. Highly recommend!
