Splurging on Gorgeous Furniture

Late last night, after I delivered the mermaid set to Cloudie (sapphirecrossing), Ash came over to drop off Katie. Ash had an odd-looking thing in her hair; she said it’s sold at the store in preparation of Festivale (her town date is set a couple weeks ahead of the actual date).

Ash dropping off Katie.This was Ash’s first time in my town, so she explored a little bit. At one point, she typed “Aurora!” So I looked up at the sky and I was thinking “Uhh, no there isn’t.” And then I realized she had just seen my penguin villager Aurora, who she apparently likes a lot.

Jeff: LOL I looked up at the sky.She told me that she’s thinking about customizing her chess set in gold. I didn’t even realize that was possible, but it would look awesome. Unfortunately, you can’t customize them with silver. Gold vs. silver sure would have been cool. We made a quick trip out to the island, where we tied on a giant dragonfly tour.

Tortimer: Jeff gets 3 medals, and Ash gets 3 medals!Then today, I went looking for Joan. She was selling turnips for 93 bells each, so I bought my usual quantity of 1,200.

Joan: So 1,200 turnips comes out to be 111,600 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?There was an igloo in town, and when I went inside, the camper looked like Teddy from behind! But Teddy already lives in Forest, so I was confused for a second. But then he turned around and I saw that one-of-a-kind green unibrow. “Hello, Nate.”

Nate: Camping in the winter gets pretty chilly... But the cold just makes the fire feel even nicer.When I checked my mail, I saw a letter from the snowboy; he sent me this snowman head.

Wearing my new snowman head.While I’m certainly glad to have it, it reveals that I’m not as close to finishing the snowboy collection as I thought. I was apparently looking at a list of snowman furniture previously, so I neglected to notice that the snowman head and a snowman itself are also items you receive from snowboy. So as of this moment, I still need the snowman clock, snowman vanity, and the snowman.

Big Top was being a big gossip today, as he was talking about Teddy’s feet for some reason.

Big Top: Not to be a big old gossip, but I heard that Teddy has really ticklish feet!But the more he talked, the more he sounded like a villain, not a superhero.

Big Top: Uh huh huh... I'm totally going to use that to my advantage next time I want something from him.I built a perfect snowboy–I seem to be back on a roll now. Jessica asked to come over to get a couple of bamboo shoots, and I met her in the Emporium.

Me and Jessica in the Emporium.Gracie had three more pieces of gorgeous furniture on sale today, so I bought them all. I paid 200k for the gorgeous desk, 64k for the gorgeous stool, and a whopping 280k for the gorgeous wall clock! Yikes! My bank account balance dropped below eight million bells, and it’s going to drop further before I complete this set.

Gracie: It's your lucky day! I happen to be throwing a little sale today, so I can part with this for 280,000 bells.Jessica explored my house and then we went back outside. She made the mistake of forgetting her toy hammer at home. But I had mine, and I put it to good use!

Jessica: Bully!We went out to the island for two quick tours and then I ended the party. Later on, I decided to recreate a poster I saw in the police station of the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. Here’s a look at it, and you can scan the code here or on the QR Codes page.

A look at the police dog pattern, along with a QR code.That’s all for today, but I’ll see you all next time!
