Loungefly Summer Sample Sale Recap Part 1

I have known about Sample Sales for at least a decade now *pretty common in the LA area*… But this was my very first time ever attending one! And *OH BOY*!!! Did my arms hurt from carrying sooooo many kawaii merch back to my car! n_~ It was definitely worth waking up early in the morning for! I was super anxious… Like I was going to my Bday party or something! @___@

I planned on being at the Loungefly Warehouse at 9:00 am sharp… But as you know, I like to sleep *oopsie* so I showed up around 9:30 am. What a mistake! o___O Jordan already did most of her shopping! And I saw Ruth with two boxes filled with Hello Kitty x Loungefly merch! She even told me that her sister Nancy put a box in the car AND ran to get more cash… *Lesson I have learned way too many times: Early bird does get the worm.*

Definitely a great crowd! Everyone was actually nice or maybe I was too overwhelmed to see anyone fighting over anything? I would even ask people to please let me know if they saw any Hello Kitty stuff while everyone was digging in the boxes… Lucky for me, I had my fellow Junkies, Jordan, Jenna, Ruth and Tanya lookin’ out for me! And the music was dooope! Almost like I was at a party. n___n

I posted a couple of pix on facebook to share in real time and I found out your fb friends love to comment when you are busy shopping. n_~ I tried really hard to take pix of things while I was looking… *Sorry* waaaay too difficult! I had to have the full experience of exploring and finding my stuff, you know? But when I felt like I had searched high and low for all things Hello Kitty x Loungefly, I did snap a few more… This is what my pile looked like before I got a box to put them in…

After we were *kinda* finished shopping, Jordan and I ordered the Hawaiian Bread Cinnamon French Toast Sticks and Housemade Cake Donuts from the Buttermilk Truck… But since I was only *kinda* finished, I went back for more! @___@ You know I cannot resist a sale on Kitty-chan stuff, so I *HAD TO* make sure I did not miss anything! n_~

Purrr-fect timing! There were new Hello Kitty x Loungefly totes that had been put out!!! Can you believe the Hello Kitty Love Letter tote was only $10!? Jenna is a good shopper — she spotted some majorly kawaii tote bags… She was nice enough to eye which ones I would want and save a few of each designs so we can go through and inspect them! n___n

So… I ended up grabbing a couple a few several *A LOT* of tote bags… And that was enough… For now. n_~

Got a group pic with some Junkies that you may be familiar with… The regulars: Jordan and Jenna and meee!

Here is a preview of a few things I was lucky enough to scoop up! Likey? n___n

These are a couple of my *faves* — super kawaii key caps, right!? My orange head Kitty was getting dirty so I found a substitute til she gets cleaned up! n_~

Be on the look-out for Part 2 when I tell you about my official Loungefly Headquarters tour and close up detailed views of my new Hello Kitty things!

P.S. If you are a Junkie, You should have already seen The Loungefly Sample Sale… Yeah, Jordan *ALWAYS* posts her blogs before me! I think she wants to steal my glory! n_~ And make sure you check out Jenna’s haul too!

Domo arigato to the Loungefly crew!!! Everybody was super duper nice… I am in love *obviously*!

Share the kittilicious love!

What a wonderful shopping day we had. I can't believe that my arms hurt from carrying all our loot. Next time I'm bringing a cart or something, or maybe we just need closer parking, lol.
