Birthday and Amazing Finds!!

 Another year older, LOL! It was a great celebration with my little family and some truly awesome finds along the way...

My sweet girl who knows me so well, got me a Parisco Ube Cheesecake for my birthday. Thank you Tabytha! We celebrated at my fave restaurant and had a nice simple lunch. It was a good time for sure. The past few weeks, I was able to find and get some amazing and rare Rushton plushies. Definitely a great lead up to my birthday too! Below, is a large standing bunny, called, "Beggin' Bunny" made by Rushton for Easter. She wears her original skirt and bow. I added the bonnet to her. I was surprised no one had claimed her, and the seller was so kind and shipped her asap to me.

Same site, I found this creepy cute Rushton Clown. Not seen before and not in any of my catalogs, sadly. He was missing his pants, and his hat was all tattered and torn, so I replaced them. Now, he is amazing again and has already been adopted. Quite the unique find I must say for sure! I honestly was surprised, that neither of these two were adopted right away, before I found them...

I also scored this Valentine's Bo Peep. She was missing her bonnet and I found this antique one that fits her perfectly. She is the sweetest gal and still has her "Love Me" tag. I already listed her in my shop just in time for Valentine's Day!! Below, I got this adorable Mattel Music Book wind up. It didn't work, so I opened it up and fixed it. I love the graphics, the artist reminds me of the same person who did Liddle Kiddles box art. The bun beside the book is another adorable find, similar to a lamb I found a few years back. She was a welcome find too! Love those lashes!

Next, this adorable Ukulele by Takara with Pichipichi and Wataru on it. Lovely addition to any Licca first gen collection. Already in my shop. I caved and got myself these adorable diecast volkswagon cars from Alvina of Joujoukawaii shop. She even added a few gifts for my bday!! I love them, thank you A!!

A few rattle friends above and below arrived as well. The blue one I found from Japan. There is just something adorable about rattle dolls. I simply love them. Then, I found a lot of memos with anime girls on them. This one is a double sided memo. Definitely a keeper. I just love the graphics of all the galaxy eyed gals on them!



These flocked cuties I made myself! Well I upcycled them. They are vintage flocked fruit and I added some cute googly eyes to make them anthropomorphic. I listed them in my shop 2 weeks ago and sold 4 and made more. I even added other fruits, like these smaller ones. The pear is much heavier in weight so she is not an ornament, but great for display purposes too! It was fun to put them together and set them up. All listed in my shop!!

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week. Valentine's Day tomorrow, so enjoy your loved ones and happy thrifting!
