Upgrades Complete

The Nooklings’ shop has upgraded and reopened today! It went from being called Nook’s Cranny to… well… it’s still Nook’s Cranny.

The new Nook's Cranny.

Why isn’t it Nook ‘n’ Go now?? It doesn’t even have the longer hours of Nook ‘n’ Go; it’s still only open until 10 p.m. 🙁 It is bigger, though. The Nooklings now sell three larger furniture items, which sit back on a stage, basically. Two smaller items are up front. It seems like a lot of wasted space on the left side of the store.

Note the interesting set of stairs on the right…

In the cabinet, I saw that the Nooklings now sell timers. I bought one for potential online use; fish and bug-catching competitions are something we haven’t really done yet.

At the museum, the art exhibit has opened up! It’s big and empty, except for my serene painting. 😛

Up at Able Sisters, Sable gave me more patterned fabric to use on customized furniture. But I didn’t have any customizable furniture in my pockets, so I didn’t get to see the new patterns yet.

To my surprise, Redd was up on the mountain today! He invited me into his ship (help!) to take a look at some other items he had for sale. He had three paintings and one statue for sale, but he only allows me to buy one.

He also had a couple of furniture items for sale, but I was there for the art. I pretty much ruled out the scary painting being real, because it had a goofy-looking face. But of the others, I had no idea. I ended up buying the flowery painting, but I won’t know if it’s real or not until I get it in the mail tomorrow.

I found a lost item (a book) on the cliff, and Midge said it might belong to Shari. Sure enough, it was Shari’s book. She gave me a worker’s jacket to thank me for returning it.

When I visited Agent S, she was talking about some of my visitors from last night. She knew that they were jumping around with the vaulting pole! These villagers know too much! 😛

Agent S: I heard they were using the vaulting pole to jump over all the rivers. I like to scream when I do that.

K.K. was playing outside of town hall, so I asked him for a sad song. He played K.K. Western for me and Louie. However, halfway through the performance, Shari snuck up behind K.K. to watch too.

I was relieved to see that the empty plot was still available. So I decided to purchase a Nook Miles Ticket and take a trip to a mystery island. Bea the dog was there.

Bea: Wow, I thought I'd be the only one on this tour! I'm Bea. You're Jeff?

I like Bea, but I didn’t invite her to move in. At least I didn’t pitfall her! 😛

When I returned to Forest, I started tearing down the finish line structure of my obstacle course. I’m going to rebuild it as far south as I can, and put a few new obstacles in between.

I definitely want a pond that racers will have to vault across. Forcing everyone to switch tools a couple times could make the races less predictable once someone gets out to a lead. If I can, I may also put in a lengthier pillar-jumping section as well. I don’t have a lot of space to work with, but I have some ideas in mind. 🙂

A couple minor notes about today:

  • I attended both completion ceremonies for Nook’s Cranny and the museum art gallery.
  • My fossil donations completed two dinosaurs, the megacerops and the iguanodon.

Have a great day, and I’ll see you next time! 🙂
