Acorn Festival

On October 1st the leaves started to change! They’re still all green, but some oaks have tinges of yellow now. I can’t wait until they’re all different Fall colors! Oh and this is Twisk’s look for the Acorn Festival. Only in Animal Crossing do you change your hair to match an outfit. 😆

The grass color changed as well, which means…

…that my paths are messed up again. 😛 Since patterns get in the way of acorns anyway, I’m going to wait until the Acorn Festival is done with before I change them again.

It was also flea market day, but I had no time to make money off of my neighbors, as you can see:

I thought it was a pretty standard living room…


And Peewee’s moved out, the last of my original eight neighbors other than Puddles. It was so weird seeing his spot vacant. 😦 Fortunately it’s already filled again! Other than all three beach house locations, this one is my favorite.


I spent a while Saturday preparing for the Acorn Festival by removing flowers in front of oak trees. 😦 It was painful to do, but I want my mush furniture! I tried to put the displaced flowers elsewhere in town, but there was really no room, so I ended up saving a lot in letters at the town hall. I can’t wait to get everything back to normal and to do some re-decorating with my paths.


Sunday was uneventful, but I did notice a new house while I was watering! It’s the same as Curly’s. 😛


Ooh, I’ve never had Tipper before! I’ll try to get her picture before she moves. 🙂

Monday was the beginning of the…

Yay 😀 Time to hunt for acorns!


Even though I hated doing it, picking up flowers did help improve my acorn count. I wouldn’t have gotten any of these here if I had left the flowers.


It could’ve been better because I missed quite a few as a result of my path patterns, but I managed to find 28 non-rotten acorns and took them to Tor — I mean, Cornimer.



Singing a little song 😆 He sure gets into it…


Whatever you say 😛


Noo, gimme furniture!

Fine, just to get it out of your system…

Haha, that doesn’t sound very good to me. >_>


For the 28 I found yesterday and the 37 I found today (good improvement!), I received the mushroom stool, end table, lamp, chair, and dresser. Hope I’m on the right track so far to getting them all!


Tipper’s unpacked now, so I checked out her interior decorating. The gyroids make mooing sounds.


I like what Nan’s going for with this room (the library wall, blue bookcase, telescope), but it’s a bit empty now. She’s sick at the moment. 😦


Random pictures of Puddles being cute 😛 She says this a lot.


Did you even need to ask? 😛


I planted 30,000 bells here, it better grow into a money tree. >_< I'm trying to have three trees right next to each other that will all be different colors throughout this season. Two of the oaks were the same color before, so I was hoping a money tree will be different. It doesn’t look like it, though. -_-


I decided that since I’m already unhappy with how my town looks at the moment (mismatched path patterns, missing flowers), I might as well pick up all the patterns in the way of acorns, too. 😛 I can deal with my town being ugly for a week to make the most of the Acorn Festival. 🙂

Unrelated but…

These maps look familiar? 😛

For comparison, Dafdilly’s map:


When searching for a good town for my other Wild World cartridge today, I found the one on the left; the one on the right is from a while ago. I do see lots of similar rivers, but always do a double-take when there’s one similar to Dafdilly’s. I explored those towns a bit, but didn’t like them as much, and it would be a bit weird having practically the same map for both my towns. >_> (By the way, my old DS has a permanent white line going across the bottom screen, hence the picture on the left.)
Fall break starts for me tomorrow, so maybe I’ll have time to work on things other than posts, like searching for Trildale some more, fixing old entries and possibly putting up a pattern page. We’ll see! 😛
