Hello lovelies,

as mentioned before in the "A week in Czesky Krumlov post" here is the separate post for the lace museum in Prachatice in the southern of Czechia.

The museum is open to visitors from May 1st to September 30th but will also have days in between were they are closed (which happened to us).

Their opening times from the website is as follows:

May – September:
Tuesday – Sunday: 10:00 – 17:00
July, August:
usually open on Mondays

Admission is 60 CZK or about 2,50€

The museum is in a pink house with white-trimmed windows. Above the door is a small decorative stone plaque showing two bobbins, and to the left is another plaque that says:

"House of two Bobbins, dedicated to all bobbin lace makers around the world past, present and future."

We had to wait a while to enter as the doors were closed but after a while an old man showed up and let us in. The room was medium sized and on the left side it was a small shop where you could buy threads, bobbins, bobbin lace jewellery and so much more. We paid the admission and I asked if I was allowed to take pictures and the man agreed but asked me to only take pictures of my favourite pieces.

There was a staircase leading to the exhibition and it was just a long room filled with lace, lace making supplies and traditional costumes.

I won't share with you the picture I have already showed you can look it up in the former mentioned post.

So here they are, enjoy!

I bought this and want to make earrings! Or maybe a necklace or something.

Hello lovelies,

this post marks about half-time of our trip to Japan and boy oh boy, it's been more than a year since the trip. But I am dedicated to talk about it and show pictures because as I often stated, that this blog is kind of my brain and I like to browse it from time to time and see what I did, wore, or said.

So then, let's start with day 12

because it was finally time for the universal studios osaka! We have been so looking forward to this and it did not disappoint even though getting a time slot for the super Mario Land was stressful.

We took a ride on the white shark ride and it was fun. Our captain (or the one who was "driving" the boat) was so invested in the story and was so full of energy even though it felt so fake.

We roamed around and I got some snacks!

Then off to more rides.

And off to more food. This was an onion flower, it was so cute!

After a parade we got first in lining for a churro truck and I got somekind of themes churros but I don't really remember what anymore.

We waited 2h for the 10min Minion ride and walked around all day and I was tired, my feet hurt and I was already ready to go but we still had super mario land....

Finally! But again, we waited 90 for a 1min yoshi ride. Ugh. And then we decided to eat the the super mario store and guess what, even more waiting. haha. But we tried to get as much as possible and eat as much as possible. Hello super mario burger!

I'm unsure what that was...curry?

And don't forget the dessert..

And this is the popcorn star I saw everywhere and wanted so bad. Now it's finally mine.

Day 13

The next day we took the train back to Tokyo. Of course, with a train station bento. They are the best.

This cheese dessert was...not good.

We weren't really able to do much afterwards as we arrived around 3pm and had to get to the hotel which was also located in Ikebukuro. We had a park around the corner and the white blossoms were so beautiful.

But we went shopping...and I met fluffy tori and lollipop lullaby and cucone europe. They had a pop up store at Marui Shinjuku Annex.

Hias and I also found a Pasta store and decided to try it out. It was okay...not the best but also definitely not the worst.

And here are the goodies I bought! A ring and a headpiece from Baby the stars shine bright.

And new stockings from fluffy tory and a lingerie set from cucone.

Plus a cute shirt from lollipop lullaby. Isn't it cute? I feel this.

Day 14

In 2015 we visited Shimokitazawa and we had an amazing haul (see my blog post). We got so many second hand items from lolita or gyaru brands but this time, we did not really find the second hand shops anymore. Turns out, most of them closed down. Boo.

Nevertheless, we found more vintage stores than before.
