Another meh week. Still trying to find myself a multi author event to go to this year but sadly just can't seem to find anything that has a good attendance list that's worth whatever cost it will take me to get there and attend! Lol. So many are on the other side of the country and that just costs a boatload to fly there and would take days of driving plus multiple hotel stays along the way, so yeah, that attendance list has to be on par! Otherwise my week was once again just blah. Nothing exciting, nothing terrible. Just ordinary. This week, I am finally sharing the item I mentioned a few weeks ago, probably near a month now or very close to it! I was waiting on extra "parts" to add to it to make it a superb addition to my eventual library room!
Here's what I got this week:
Watch Me by Tahereh Mafi
Then my A Touch of Magic Designs order came in at last! I ordered this back in February and it only just shipped a few weeks ago. I guess they no longer have a US distributor...as I thought they did at one point? So it came all the way from Australia!
Naturally, I bought the newest OUABH piece that's on the right
the OUABH piece in the middle is one from a previous drop that I waited to buy until there was more that I wanted!
The ACOSF on the left was a freebie print, which was odd since I didn't order enough to get it. I don't know if it was included because of the wait time or what! Thankfully, I did like that book so I'm not upset about the new piece!

Then I got my latest Pages of the Night order! Britnee outdid herself with her latest Spring preorder! I am loving her new mushroom houses, so I bought myself another one! I think they will look great in upcoming pictures once I can find some faery books! Now granted, I have tons of these, but most are in storage, sigh...
I got an adorable blue mushroom house with butterflies on it! Now I just need a mini Tella fairy to complete this! Lol.
a fairy door that I thought was just too pretty, I always kind of wanted one and think this will look great on my bookcase once I get that library set up somewhere down the line!
and finally I couldn't resist the OUABH mini cake! It was hard choosing between the archer or the fox symbols but I ended up liking this one best! Lol.

Then I got my preorder incentive for Holy Terrors! No idea how much room was on my last pin banner. You might be guessing that's in my storage unit too...you'd be right! I've got a drawer filled with pins that need pinning! Lol.
THANK YOU MacMillan!
And finally, the latest addition to my library room...whenever I get that library room...
It's an American Girl BELLE doll! Yes, American Girl is apparently doing Disney!
I remember their first round was of Cinderella, Ariel, and Tiana and they were gorgeous! I thought if they ever did a Belle doll I'd be in trouble! Lol. I was silently stalking the site for a little bit. I signed up for emails to get an exclusive coupon, but then for whatever reason, I held off another day or two and she went on sale that was better than my coupon! I did try to use the coupon still, but alas, they didn't let me double dip. But had to try! Lol.

Sadly, they did not give her a wardrobe like they did with the first dolls. Which is odd since Belle had 4 dresses in the movie. The first three all got 3 dresses so I had hoped they'd have Belle's green library dress or even her pink dress, but sadly, they only did the yellow ball gown and her blue peasant dress. I decided I actually prefer her blue dress, so I had to buy that separately. Now I just need a craft fair to see if anyone makes a green library dress. I scoured Etsy but with no luck. Found plenty for me to wear if I knew my dress size which is always different based on store brands. Lol.
I forgot to take a picture of her in her ball gown as I was struggling to switch her into her blue dress. The hair was the struggle. There were bobby bins and several different rubber bands to undo from that particular hairdo to get her in a ponytail! Luckily I still had the brush from my doll as a kid!
I even managed to find a mini basket for her as you can see! AND a book! But not just any mini book, it's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! I was trying to track down a mini book for her to hold in the basket and then a search brought these Disney ones up and I vaguely remembered them! I had tracked down a steal on Pango Books for a copy of The Little Mermaid, but after a few days, it was cancelled. Not sure if the seller sold it elsewhere or what, but I was basically back to square one. I ended up just ordering a "new" copy at B&N as I ultimately was only saving like $2-3 off cover price after shipping on Pango, plus I had a gift card and free shipping so it was only $5! I love that it's truly the perfect size for her to hold in her hand like this!
So that was it for me this week! Not too much in books, but I got some nice other goodies and the rest of "add ons" for Belle came in, including the stand! Now I just need a house with a library room and more bookcases, and I'm all set! Lol.
What did you get this week?
