Thank you so much for your support & review 🤎

[@marshablount353]

Everything is very pretty but I was more than shocked at the price 😮. There are so many artists, influencers, Etsy shops that have similar for less with same beauty and quality. Thank you for showing us the details. Is anyone in the same recession I am? Gas prices? Grocery? Sheesh!

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

I had signed up for her mailing list, and bought it during presale for $99. So I definitely got a better deal doing that, but...very hard not to compare it to the quarterly Archer & Olive box I buy for about that price - with items I'm more likely to grab regularly. I think we're all feeling it, and she likely is too as a small shop. I'm happy to have supported her by purchasing this box but it is a steep price for the items received.

[@elizabeth20099]

Yep same. I love all the florals and all the items but having hard time paying that much for it. If it was 60 bucks I would convince myself. Comparing to for example what Simply gilded used to provide in her boxes before she changed her subscription- this is pricey. Do you know of any Etsy shops with similar aesthetic like this? I’m always open to finding new fun kits but not over 100 bucks 😬

[@elizabeth20099]

@@thejoyfulsojourn ah i wish I got it as preorder. I just found out about this kit today as your video popped up on my YT. Dang. Thanks for doing the unboxing ❤

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Love that clip! I would probably use it for my hobonichi weeks or maybe a travelers notebook. 💕

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Great idea, I think I said it would work with a ring planner, but definitely meant a bound book like you've said!

[@nbmcla2]

Thanks for the review!

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

You got it!

[@jenniferstacey3464]

Thank you for the unboxing! I skipped this box and I am glad I did. Not my vibe and everything looks basically the same. Last year’s box was better in my opinion. I do love her shop, don’t get me wrong but it is a hefty price tag if it ends up not being your style.

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Happy to share!!

[@plancreatecope]

I would use the clip to hold my hobonichi weeks open. I use a binder clip.

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Yes I can see that! I think I said "ring planners", but I meant bound planners, notebooks, and bullet journals. I see clips used often with bound books!

[@nbmcla2]

Thank you so much for doing this unboxing. I was confused.

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

What items confused you?

[@nbmcla2]

@@thejoyfulsojourn those rub on things. I didn’t know what to do? Also, that washi tape with all the houses or store fronts, I have no idea what to do with that! I’m not very creative I guess

[@ReadBrucey]

Burnish transfers aka rub ons

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Yes! Exactly.

[@outinarizona]

i agree. the flower tapes appear to the same pattern at different zoom levels. those burnish stickers are cute, i like the raw edge look made by the first sticker on the left when you pulled it off. really nice, though. if you LOVE "lush roses, dogwood & and big magnolia trees in full bloom," this box would be for you. the box is still available.

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Yes yes and yes :)

[@chebert2279]

Thank you for this review. I absolutely agree with you. This box cost more than previous boxes and had less items. I will try to buy the PET tape and the acetate and vellum sheets but that was all I liked from the entire collection.

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

Those were my favorites as well! Glad it helped you identify the items you were interested in purchasing ❤

[@kajmylove4434]

I remember reading on her site that this box was supposed to be smaller this year. I also agree on the washi tape being very similar. The box was beautiful. I also was looking for more variety as well.

[@thejoyfulsojourn]

I remember seeing that too, but since the price of the box still seemed high, I thought there'd still be a "wow" item. Do you know how much previous boxes were?
