Another shopping adventure...Art Box AND Diaso!!

I had heard that there was a store named ArtBox, and naturally I had to find out what it was all about!!! It really isn't an art supply store like I was expecting, but it was fabulous anyway!!
Bella in the cab

Some wandering around...and we found it!

We found these humidifiers....which I found odd because it's already so humid here naturally, lol!
And these used water bottles! Weird!!

Super cute and super tiny clocks!

Need a fish comb, perchance???

PENS, PENS, PENS!!!!

I had seen these Japanese kits on another YouTube channel, and was so excited to see them here. But....all the directions are in Korean! They are basically kits to make these intricate candy snacks.

This one is a sushi kit...all candy!

Donut kit

Hamburger and fries kit!

Little lovies

Oh yes, a mustached bear hat - I needed one, lol!

This mascara had the HUGEST brush I had ever seen!!! It was crazy big! And now I'm wishing I had picked one up to try it, lol! Next time!

Gobs of fake eye lashes

Did I mention they had PENS?????

For some reason I didn't take a photo of our things from ArtBox! I got quite a few stickers, some Hello Kitty post-it pads and flags, Bella got a Minecraft toy....I can't think....but a ton of stuff, lol!

Since we were right there, we decided to pop over one street and visit Diaso again!
This is just part of the nail art section!
(aka shaker card refills!!!)

We weren't sure what these were, so we bought them to try. It was sort of a gross, stale-tasting roll of a puffed snack of some sort. Oh well, they were cheap anyway!

These were every bit as gross as they sound, lol!

Pastry covered leaves? Um, no. Sorry, but no.

Candy and snack display

Cell phones and their covers are serious business here!!!

Bella got cotton candy from a street vendor.

Orange trees!

Downtown

More cell phone bling-bling!

Not sure if he's Pinocchio or there's a poop on his head, lol!!!

We went back into AK Plaza and found Korean dippin' dots!!!

Bella had banana split

Thomas had strawberry and I had cotton candy!

This photo was taken at Osan AFB - they had a huge Hello Kitty stand full of stuff!

Don't you wish you could come on our travel adventures with us??? *smile*

Discovering Diaso!! (aka the Korean Dollar Store!)

We had heard about this wonderful store, but it was quite the "adventure" of trying to find it!! But we finally did and it was worth all the trouble of finally getting there! It's a two story building full of wonderful stuff...all beautifully organized and displayed, which made my crafting-OCD heart go fluttering!!!
Thomas & Bella happy to be here!!
(It was REALLY hot that day!)

Sadly, I was so overwhelmed with the awesomeness (seriously, I was in sensory overload with the variety and choices of everything!) that I didn't take ANY photos of the store. Next time!!!
The entire haul! Which I managed to "Jenga" into our wheeled shopping cart we brought!
Pocket Letter Supply Heaven!!!!

I separated the food and Bella stuff, from my stuff.

Socks for Alex!

Various masks for your face

Food picks...aka cute Pocket Letter add ins!

Post-It flags galore!!!

Metallic lace sticker strips!

Washi tapes

More flags!

Stickers!

These are sooo cute!

Nail art doo-dads...perfect for shaker cards!

Note pads

More stickers

Some brushes

Animal paper clips

Bookmarks

Bunny and hedgehog clips!

Nail glitter....or is it pixie dust?? *wink*

Table topper!
It looks like lace, but it's plastic! They have TONS of home stuff and decor!

Korean Taste Test #2!

So our first, of many!!!, trips was a total success!! I had been wanting to shop on the economy for pocket letter goodies because the word was that Asian countries have the cutest stuff. And I have to agree that they do!!! Now...to get crafting on some pocket letters....!!!!!
