Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 47

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

It’s officially the last day of Nature Day! And on the loading screen, I noticed C.J. was here too– I don’t think I’ll bother selling many fish to him, but I can at least do the challenge and get a new fish model. Isabelle unfortunately still had no news which I was kind of surprised about as I expected her to at least mention Nature Day was ending…

There wasn’t really much mail-wise. Just a letter from Phil, some Simple Panels I ordered, and a Hallo Tee from the Special Goods section.

With mail checked, I went off to see if C.J. was still where I saw him on the loading screen and he was! I think I may just… wait on the loading screen for a bit before I load up next time as a way to see if anyone special is here.

I wouldn’t really call that Big, but okay… Okay, the Snapping turtles definitely, but squids? Regardless, working on this challenge gave me time to comb the beach too. I had more Star fragments to get plus today’s recipe in a bottle: Sandy-beach flooring.

I finished the challenge pretty quickly, but to my surprise, I got three Red Snappers in a row no less… 13,500 Bells for those was pretty nice. I also gave him some Seahorses for the model.

I would say the other surprise was my hitting two balloons and getting two different Imperial furniture pieces in a color I didn’t have yet. Also I have nothing to say about this, but I was so flabbergasted I’m sharing it here.

I also worked a little more on the gate area– I do think the silver borders look nicer in the end and I added a little stone under which makes the broken stone path work a little more. It’s like it leads to an old ancient garden kind of.

As for the Star Fragments, I managed to get 1 more Large, but I still need more in general even if just to make one of each thing… On a more positive note, a friend sent me some Summer shells so I was able to make my Shellfish Pochette. I can’t decide if I want to use it with my main outfit or not though. I have mixed feelings on non-backpack bags as it is. For now, I put it on my “Casual” outfit.

My shops were kind of disappointing today despite everything else going on, though, it was almost a relief to not see the Lolita hair in the Able Sisters again today as it was in pretty much every day last week and it taunts me as I love the ringlets and bangs (and both longer wavy hairstyles also have nice bangs) and it kills me that the only high ponytail hair has the bangs it does and it just the usual plain ponytail. Let me have hair like this, Nintendo T___T Or even like Persona 5’s Kasumi…

Meanwhile, Cookie has also started calling me Bestie a lot and it’s kind of sweet.

And, of course, I made sure to do my final Nature Day Nook Miles+ Task. This time it was to transplant a tree so I just… dug one up and placed it back down immediately.

I think the big thing today though is I’ve actually managed to get a handful of brand new recipes from various people and towns, including friends.

The two biggest highlights for me being the Star Pochette and Magazine Stand recipes which are both items that were on my wish list. Unfortunately, I can’t craft the Magazine stands just yet as I need 2 Magazines per stand and I’ve already used up the order slots today… But I was at least able to make the Star Pochette which let me finish off my future Star Gazing and Celeste visiting outfit:

(If you know who made the dress, let me know! I tried looking for information, but couldn’t find anything and I was shown it by a friend :( )

However, as one last surprise, a friend sent me over enough Magazines to make the two I wanted! I’m still going to play around with the positioning, but I’m really happy to have both designs I wanted.

I think today will be an early stop, but if anything else happens, I’m sure I’ll add some further notes here.

Edit: Of course more happens as soon as I post it :P I ended up going over to another friend’s and got to see Celeste and wish on some stars. Fingers crossed for at least one other large star fragment tomorrow! …I keep forgetting to bring a Taurus fragment with me to show her though ;~;

I also got a new reaction from Judy today– Thought!

I then did some additions to the island. Mostly just small add-ons or little areas, but I hope they make things more aesthetically pleasing.

Once three of the Vintage Pocket Camper arrive plus the Tourist Telescope, the Miniature area will be done. I’ve wanted something to do with the models and I’m glad this gets more use for my third lighthouse.

I also made some fun visits to friends. I was hoping to do a Teddy Bear Picnic-type thing for Maple’s yard so I’m excited that it looks really nice, even though mine will be a lot smaller…


I just really hope the things I do will be even close to this impressive.
