Spain, Madrid

 

Pullip Plaza 22.3.2025

Espanja, Madrid 20.3. - 29.3.2025

In here we jump in to those two things, so there will be a lots of stuff going on. This is a lot longer post than my usual ones, but mostly because of the amount of pictures!

Ok let's goooo

Pullip Plaza, my first doll event🖤

All my items for sale can be found here. I was still testing my table setting when I realized that our dresser fits the dimensions of the salesroom table well.

So this was my first doll event, and in general an event where I'm a seller and somehow have to represent myself XD oh my... I was so nervous. I'm not good at being around people, I always go for some shaky mode and being excited at the same time for meeting new people.

I had started preparing for the event as soon as I found out that I was going there after the invitation. I had about a year to make items for sale, and I must have had about 30 outfits there? I don't remember exactly, even though I do have them up in a list on my notebook. But either way... there were A LOT of items for sale.

I also wanted to have a lot of different ones, since I had no idea at this point how many of my items would end up going and what the people would like. My goal was to be happy with at least 1 sale. (Yep. The goal was 1 and I made 30, I'll explain... if I had enough different items -> atleast someone could find something they do like! So there were higher chances to get that one sold) I made a system so that everyone could get in line for my outfits on instagram, which meant that after the event I would contact the first person who asked to be in the list and sell it to them. This would avoid me having to put everything up for sale separately (it would have been a lot of work)

I took this picture just to remind us how cool our taxi were in the next morning! It has window roof

We were talking about this taxi a lot aftrt the drive XD it was a cool one it seems...

We did came to soain 20.3.2025 in the night time, and that's why we do this time jump to the next morning. The previous day was just to travel and sleeeep

21.3.2025

For the first day in spain, we did not have any actual plans planned. We just wanted to chill around and look the places - or in Jane's case - museums. It was an good idea because it kept my mind busy and divert my thoughts away from the next day which was the event day.

 

I'm noy so good at going to museums, not because I wouldn't like them but I need more things to focus on than just paintings and people. Otherwise I can't focus on it. And Jane know this so they had looked for different kind of museums, like those kind of that you can feel/see and walk through the art pieces. It was soooooooo good. Each of them XD I loved it

 This was from illusion museum. They had like crooked walls,  floors and mirrors etc. And lights! Different kind of light systems

Managed to find cute coffee shop. It was called something like Kawaii cafe?? If I remember correctly??

The drinks were cute too, but extra sweet. But hey, we got like a magic spell done to these by the barista XD it was cute

From museum 

This was my ultimate favorite. Those lights and mirror effects haaaaa. I loooved ittt

22.3.2025

Pullip Plaza

I was nervous for the fact that the event hosts didn't speak english and I needed to tell them eho I am etc  but XD they knew right away ehen I greeted them in english...and they did have some people from the vendors that translated stuff from english to spain for me but not all

My table 🖤

It was my biggest dream to be at doll event as a seller at some point (or even get to visit a doll event since finland we don't have those) but I had no idea it could happen this soon! I was so excited (and still am) for seeing my own table for the first time 🥹🖤

I was so excited and nervous about the whole event (a whole year) that at this point it just disappeared. I was like "okay, whatever happens, I'm here now and I have everything I need with me. That's the best I can do for the moment"

It's really good that my panic mode stopped because Jane's showed up here XDD my brain was really calm but I couldn't think or actually do anything. A big thank you to my love for this table setting🖤

Trust me, I couldn't have done this without Jane.🖤

This was one of the most meqningful things yo see after years only seeing it online. The poisongirldolls sale set up in real life.

This was taken like 20minutes? before the doors were meant to open, so we got to see them before anything were sold just yet

Meeting María finally was so meaningful and sweet experience😭🖤 she was as sweet as you could ever imagine her to be like and full of warmth. I had so fun while chatting with her

@kumo_milk 

Finally having the face, voice and actual vibe of this human being. Kumo was so so confident, chill and everything! Loved meeting them at the event even thought we didn't have a chance to talk enough 😤

Also Kumo's partner was soooo sweet 😭🖤 

@pierot_lk

My translator, new friend and amazing person. We started talking just before the event because I needed someone to translate the stuff for me 🤣 and she was helping me a lot. Even with getting my logo hanged up because I didn't have any safety pins with me 🥲 I felt so lucky to have met someone so bubbly and like a sunshine 🖤

Pullip Plaza had made this photographing corner which we didn't realize to use! But it was really pretty one. I wish there would have been more light in this spot tho

And then we get to check the other tables and stuff, but I don't remember the @ of these. Most of these sellers were new to me

I did not sold everything in this event, but fot what I had left -> everything but two got sold after the event on instagram.

Thank you for each of you who came to visit my booth, helped me out and bought something🖤🫂

I felt so so so lucky to met so many of you haaaa😭🖤

We got to leave at 8pm, and decided to walk back at the hotel. It was so greeeeen and warm already haaa

My chaotic buying pile. I seriously don't havr any better picture of it XD but I bought *a lot* of stuff. Hats, eyechips from Puppelina, obitsu bodies, fairy wings, extra hand pieces, dresses, shirts, doll bags, shoes etc....

Allana @poupee.numerique BIG thanks for helping me to biy the obitsu body and hands. I think you saved me even thought I went to biy one more obitsu myself - but for the hands, I think I wouldn't have gotten any without your help 🖤🫂

In the next day we decided to go for a walk and see the places. And mostly talk about everything related to that event since I needed to talk it out loud to get it calm down in my head too lol. I often need to do that and Jane know that if we go for a walk, I talk more easily

It felt like springgggg

Super cute shop, Miniso

Hey, another thing I didn't think was my thing, escape rooms!! We went to two escape rooms with María & Jaime. And I can say that I loved it!! One was the Goonies theme and the other was Indiana Jones! Indiana Jones was an extempore, which we booked when I was excited about this escape room game...so we booked it for another day!!

(I watched the Goonies movie the night before so I could solve those puzzles)

We solved both of these in time! And there were several rooms, tunnels and secret doors, etc. It was incredibly well done and it tested out very well with the teamwork of the four of us XD

I dare say that it plays well together

Miss these people, see you soon again🖤🫂

Our first trip in metro in spain...we got help from our friends - otherwise we wouldn't have survived from this  

We were happyyyy about the day we spent with our friends. We were back to the hotel around 3 am?? Because in spain it's more common to eat reaaaally late. So we were staying at the restaurant for few hours to chat and eat

Retiro park, here we went to take some pictures! Thank you for the suggestion to María. This place was wonderful🖤

Turtlessss

It's in the same park! We found this magical place to take pictures

Ravennn🥹🖤

I'm lost within which day this was, but different one than the one where we spent the day on the retiro park. Aaand we decided to go to a Marvel museum! Jane however had "shortcut" in mind...and we walked for soooo loonngg

And then Jane saw this and we needed to go and check the red circle...XD

Push, push!!

The views were nice

Finally at the museum!

Jane found their new boyfriend...

Boyfriend number 2

I have no idea how people can be comfortable while being in pictures, because like?? 

I was adjusting the hoodie and Jane accidently got this picture which I find nice one

And ofc I had to have picture at there...Iron man ✨️

We went to this cafe again! This coffee was terrible, I would never have it again but I still drank it XD Jane's drink was good!!

This was another cafe shop than the previous one, even though it was the same company. Here they didn't speak English and the salesperson seemed rude because we didn't speak Spanish and now she acted like a Finnish guy who tried to speak louder if we could understand him better that way... spoilerrsss we didn't understand....

Jane leading us to another park

All in all, it was a wonderful trip and definitely the most perfect first trip abroad I could have ever hoped for 🖤

I enjoyed every moment there (almost, our hotel could have been warmer), and I would definitely go there again ;-; the people were niceAND how wonderfully relaxed the people were

Bye bye Madrid 🖤
