T&T Emporium Grand Opening

Today is the day that T&T Emporium opens up!

The outside of T&T Emporium.I went inside to check it out, and Tommy welcomed me to the grand opening. I noticed that they sell two K.K. songs each day now.

Two K.K. songs on sale inside T&T Emporium.And on the right side, Leif is there selling his gardening supplies. I bought some fertilizer, but it costs a whopping 1,600 bells!

Leif: The price is umm... Ah yes! Right! It's 1,600 bells! Are you gonna buy it?I then went upstairs and saw that T&T Emporium has three floors!

Top Floor: GracieGrace. 2F: Home Decorating. 1F: Daily Necessities & GardeningThis is what the second floor looks like. I bought the spooky clock.

Five pieces of furniture, two wallpapers, and two carpets on sale on the 2nd floor.I then went up to Gracie Grace on the third floor of T&T Emporium. Gracie thanked me once again for the help in opening up her store.

Gracie: Aren't you a sight for sore eyes! Thanks to you, I've decided to open my boutique here in town.This is what she was selling today; the sweets furniture is the current set that’s in season right now.

Some sweets furniture items for sale at GracieGrace.Of course, her prices are still extreme. It’s hard to justify paying 124,000 bells for wallpaper.

Gracie: Deliciously stylish, don't you think? I'm selling this little number for 124,000 bells.Of course, you can’t try shoes and boots on, but she does encourage you to gently stroke them. Uhhh…

Gracie: I wish I could let you try them on, but the best you can do is gently stroke them.I bought the hot dog hat and she told me that I receive a free gift with my purchase. She then gave me a mannequin! I now have all four of them.

Gracie: You can use this mannequin to try out all sorts of new looks. Go crazy with the combos!After that, I was done shopping. I received a letter from Gulliver in the mail today, and it contained Big Ben. Well, a model of it. I put it in my exhibit space at the museum.

October 19, 2013: Grand opening of T&T Emporium. Visitors to Forest so far: 154 people.While I was walking around town to water my flowers, Aurora approached me and told me I could use a vacuum cleaner! Is she trying to say my house is messy? At any rate, she gave it to me for free, so I’m not complaining.

Aurora: Um, J-bot. I hope this isn't presumptuous, but I think you could use a vacuum cleaner.After I sold today’s fruit haul, fossils, gems from the gem rock, and unwanted items (*cough* vacuum cleaner *cough*), I had enough money to finish paying off my train station renovation! It will be completed tomorrow!

Isabelle: We've met our collection goal for the station reconstruction project! It should be complete tomorrow!That’s all for today, but I’ll be back with another update tomorrow. So please come back then!

A Quiet Friday

While I was working at the cafe today, a strawberry shortcake came in and ordered coffee! Its name was Merengue.

Merengue: Could you pour a cup of coffee for me, please? I'd like the house blend.Down on the beach, I found Gulliver. I used my megaphone to wake him up quickly, and he was talking about Big Ben.

Gulliver: Can you believe that people assume Ben's the clock's name? Typical.Naturally, he was headed to England.

Gulliver: ...England!When I went up to Main Street, I saw that the Nooklings’ store was under construction for the last time. I’m expecting the Emporium tomorrow!

The shop under construction for the final time.In the Dream Suite, Luna informed me that Mars from the town of Kthxbai was my most recent dream visitor. That’s certainly an interesting name.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Mars from Kthxbai enjoyed your dream.
OK, thanks, bye.

And at Re-Tail, Teddy said that the golden closet I was selling for 15,000 bells was really cheap!

Teddy: Whoa! That is cheap! Golden closet? Only 15,000 bells?!But he was just psyching me out. He said it was still too much for him. Don’t waste my time, Teddy Ruxpin.

Teddy: And yet... Still too much for me.At town hall, I decided to use my Animal Crossing logo as my town flag for a while.

Canberra: When you catch a whopper, I'll be happy to help you celebrate! Mate!At 10:00, I opened my gate and Chris came over to visit. We hung out for a while, but no one else was coming. So I wondered if I had accidentally set my gate to “best friends only.” So I told Chris I would close and reopen my gate, just to be sure. After I did, he messaged me saying he had to go. After a couple minutes, Valeria came over to visit. I asked her if she was dreaming.

Last Day of T.I.Y.

Today, I made a pattern of the Animal Crossing logo.

There was a message posted on the bulletin board, informing me that T.I.Y. will be closed for remodeling tomorrow! That means I’ll be getting the T&T Emporium on Saturday!

-From T.I.Y.- Thanks to overwhelming support, we're expanding again! That means we will be closed for all of October 18th. So sorry!I then went to the Dream Suite. I dreamed of Nintendo’s official New Leaf town. It has Mario, Luigi, and Pikmin themed houses, along with face cut-out standees, and lots of mushrooms you can eat to grow to super size!

Growing to super size after eating a famous mushroom in Nintendo's dream town.I made a new entry in my Jeff’s Dream Suite Adventures section about it. For more info, tons of pics, and the dream address, see my Nintendo town dream page. While I was there, I got the stone path pattern from Wendell. When I returned to Forest, I decided to give it a try.

The stone path pattern I got from Nintendo's dream town.I don’t think it looks as good in my town as it did in the Nintendo town. So I changed it back.

When I went into the cafe, Kidd was enjoying a coffee. When I talked to him, he said he wanted to treat me!

Kidd: Jeff, let me treat you!I thought that meant he was going to buy me a cup of coffee. But then he asked Brewster to make me a pancake? Huh?

Kidd: Could you please make a pancake for Jeff, kid?I think this Kidd’s losing his mind. As expected, Brewster says this cafe is only for coffee. No pancakes for me!

Brewster: This is a place for people to enjoy drinking coffee and only coffee...After working a shift and earning some superb coffee beans, I continued my walk around town. Rolf approached me and told me he was going to start calling me Skippy.

Rolf: OK then. How does "skippy" grab ya? It's perfect, right?A gem rock gave me a gold nugget, and I had two of them in storage. So I took them all to Cyrus, and he turned them into a golden bed. Finally, a piece of gold furniture I actually needed!

Take home the golden bed?Up on Main Street, Leif reminded me that when T.I.Y. closes tonight, it closes for good.

Leif: You might have already heard the news, but when T.I.Y. closes its doors tonight, it closes for good.He continued, saying this means the end of his gardening corner, too.

Leif: That means today is the last day for the gardening corner too...And at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Kyle from Cooptown enjoyed my dream town. Hi Kyle!

When I returned to town, I spotted Saharah. I gave her 3,000 bells to make over my house. She put in an ornate rug and a skyscraper wall.

An ornate rug and skyscraper wall displayed in my house.I like that wallpaper, so I decided to keep it. I put it in my back room for the time being. And before I was done playing, I got some great news: Canberra is moving out on the 22nd! Woohooooo!!

Canberra: Girls like me, we just gotta run wild! I'm sure you understand. You usually seem to get me.On that pleasant note, I ended my game for the night. I’ll be back late tomorrow night with a blog about Friday Night Forest, so check back then!
