Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Yesterday, I attacked a balloon present with my net and I ended up with a new hat. Clearly, it’s a gift from above. 😉

Copper told me Phineas was in town, and I was quite eager to see what new badge I had earned; I didn’t know what to expect. Once I tracked him down, he gave me the Gardening Specialist badge! Now I can stop buying extra flowers and saplings. TZ already gave me a hard time at Friday Night Forest earlier this month for planting a sapling where it wouldn’t grow. I did that on purpose, because I didn’t need the tree, I just needed credit towards this badge.

That was my 13th gold badge. As a result, this is what my badge collection looks like now:

And then today, I found Joan in town, selling turnips for 104 bells each. I bought 4,100 of them this time.

A message posted on the bulletin board announced the winners of yesterday’s Bug-Off competition. Big Top was the big winner with 51 points.

Circle Banner DLC

Pete delivered a new letter from Nintendo regarding a new Nintendo Zone DLC item. Now through August 1st, you can download a circle banner.

So I went to pick mine up from Phyllis tonight.

The circle banner reminds me of a traffic light. This might be a good thing to use in a racing (or Mario Kart) themed room. 3, 2, 1, Go! It can be ordered from the catalog for 1,200 bells.

This morning, Reese was paying 126 bells apiece for turnips, so I sold all that I had. Not a huge profit, but at least I made a little money this week. It seems like I’m due for a big week, though.

When I put my turnip money into my bank account, my balance topped 47 million bells.

Daisy reminded me that the Bug-Off competition is tomorrow. I may not be able to participate, but thanks for the reminder, Daisy!

When I spoke with Aurora, she told me some great news: Cally is moving out of town soon!

Still, I wanted to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. So I trapped her until she was ready to ping me. It took a while, but eventually she told me the news.

I fully supported her decision. I’m such a good friend. I wanted to let her know she made the right choice, so I expressed my joy support with a little dance.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Mike from Newton was my most recent dream visitor.

And I just want to let you all know that I’ve made a new page about Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, which comes out in September. I list some general information about the game, share my thoughts, and embed a few videos (including the trailer and a couple of gameplay videos). Once the game comes out, I’ll also post blog-style updates there too.

Have a good weekend, everyone. I’ll see you next time!

I recently visited the official dream town of Nintendo of Korea (dream address 0000-1066-6865). It seemed similar to the other official Nintendo towns, but there wasn’t as much to see. For example, there was only one house. But I did like the Animal Crossing patterns on display here.

The museum gift shop back in Forest had a museum chair on sale, and it was the last museum item I needed…except for two I can’t get yet (the paintball wall and museum model).

Saharah was in town today, and I paid her 3,000 bells for this autumn wall and concrete floor.

When I visited Dizzy, I saw that Tom was also hanging out at his house. I guess Dizzy was having a post-birthday party party. 😛

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Brooklyn from Lakewood was my most recent dream visitor. Yesterday’s visitor was Lacey from Kokiro. Thanks for stopping by!
