Today, I dug up my first three gyroids! A drummoid was my first one, followed by a squeezoid and a stelloid. Here’s a look at them; they’re cute!
As expected, the museum was closed for construction. It will reopen tomorrow with a cafe!
I used my new permanent ladder to reach a buried item (a rare mushroom) up on a cliff, and I was happy to discover that I didn’t need to put my shovel away to use the ladder! Sometimes it’s the small things that make us happy. 😛
I took a plane out to Harv’s Island, and I saw someone new. At Tortimer’s usual spot, I found Cornimer instead!
If you’re not aware, he’s an obscure character who hosts the Acorn Festival in Animal Crossing: Wild World. Some may say he is really Tortimer in disguise, but where on earth would they get that idea? 😉
But anyway, he gave me three acorns to use for crafting…before offering to access my storage, just like Tortimer would do. I’m not sure if he only appears in the autumn, but it seems plausible.
Next, I made my way over to the new stand belonging to Jolly Redd. He told me I was limited to buying one piece of art per day…and I was thrilled! To have a selection of art every day is amazing compared to seeing him once every two weeks. This may mean I’ll complete my museum in a matter of months instead of years. 🤞
He had a real famous painting and a fake tremendous statue. I didn’t need either of them, but I’ll be back again tomorrow to check again.
But art isn’t all that Redd has to offer. He has raffle prizes, much like you’d see at the fireworks festival. For 500 bells, you can get a random item. I got three different ice cream cones, so I’m not sure what other types of items you can win. But handheld items are always fun (and sometimes delicious).
Since I still need to get ahold of some vegetable seeds for cooking, I funded Leif’s stand next. I’m assuming he will sell them, since Nook’s Cranny hasn’t had any yet. Although, T. Zelda did send me a few carrot starts in the mail…so thanks, TZ!
Of course, I also made my daily trip out to a mysterious island.
I found another gyroid fragment and I also caught a tarantula there. But otherwise, there wasn’t really anything interesting about the island. I still haven’t seen an island that has vines.
As a reminder, I’ll be opening my gate to friends tomorrow night (Saturday) at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. That also means tomorrow’s blog entry will probably be posted quite late. 😛
