August Meetup + Cardcaptor Sakura Popup!

 On Saturday we met up at our usual place for some honeydew theme afternoon tea!  It was so yummy~  

I wore an OP because I didn't want to layer blouse or underskirt as it was hot and humid!  It's been raining on and off so the air has been very muggy recently.

 

I actually didn't remember to apply press-on nails until Sunday, but I want to share the photo anyway. 

 

 

The savory dishes included an artichoke tart, shrimp mentaiko salad, smoked salmon and honeydew on a cracker, watermelon with vinaigrette, and proscuitto with honeydew melon. I didn't eat the proscuitto, but everything else was really delicious!

 

The watermelon was very refreshing!  Surprisingly matched with the red wine vinegar!  Everything was delicious~

 

 The sweets this time were not as sweet as before, and the scone has improved as well! Not as dry.

 

 There was a mix of honeydew sweets, one muscat grape one, and a passionfruit one.   The color is so summery and pleasant to look at, and the yellow and gold details are beautiful accents!

 

After sitting and chatting for a few hours, we went directly to dinner.  I always eat a lot on Lolita meetup days!

 Then a couple of the girls wanted to see a Haikyuu (Idk if I spell that correctly) pop-up shop, and next door to it was a Cardcaptor Sakura pop-up!  I'd been eyeing a cushion by the brand that hosted the pop-up so I went to look as well and get some photos!

The volleyball anime pop-up shop

 Unfortunately the shop was out of the cushion in question and there was no display one either... so I just went on their website and ordered it as they had a little promotion going on 😹

I'll post photos when the cushion arrives!  It's a "snack bag" style cushion in the design of a Clear Card and inside it is the three mascots, Kero-chan, Subii (sp?), and Momo plus a sakura blossom!  So it's five cushions for the same price as a large cushion.  Very cute and worth it in my opinion!

I do need to be good about my spending this month... I started tracking my finances and last month I went a little overboard 🙀
