Summer is just about over here for us on Guam. School starts early next month. So let the new school year begin!
Here are some finds recently...

vtg wire plate wall mount. |
I was searching for a way to display my vintage Valentine's Chocolate box. Then it dawned on me I could either make a wall holder for it or buy one? But what was even easier was to find a vintage plate wall mount!! This one was perfect! It's made of a strong wire metal and shaped into hearts at the ends. Of course meant to hold a plate, but instead I used it to hold my box!! It was perfect!! Definitely happy with the way this turned out! Yay!

This is a special Aqua Valentine's Chocolate Box! |
Next, this adorable Animal Rummy card deck, that came unopened. I have a small collection of adorable Whitman card games with adorable animals in each of them!! This is a lovely set! A great addition to my collection too! My faves are the bunny and bear!
 |
Just look at these adorable animals!! |
Below, after a month it finally arrived a 2nd version of the vintage Bandai rare anthropomorphic toaster. This one comes with original toast and winds up too! I listed my other toaster in my shop! If anyone is interested?! I've also added two more vintage festival masks to my mask wall! Now, I have a panda and Lunlun!! I love waking up to seeing my collection around me. Thanks to my husband for allowing me to have a place to display my treasures!! Love you Sam!!

I found this lovely minty Irice Ado Mizumori Hair Spray cover can recently and sold it. She even came with her original tag!! Truly amazing piece too!

Original Irice Japan Tag! |
Below, I have been on the hunt for a minty Macoto T. child purse for my collection of Macoto items and I finally did! She is minty and hot pink with chain straps. Lovely Macoto T. Artwork of a Victorian maiden, surrounded by flowers. Definitely one of my sought after pieces for my little collection! Yippee!

Another item I have always wanted is this adorable 3D Litho posedoll coin purse. I've seen them through out my searches from time to time, but it has always alluded me. I guess it was my time. I was able to do a direct purchase and now this piece lives with me. It needed a bit of cleaning up, and it came with its original metal maker's tag!! I've never seen it with this tag! It's so cute too! Haha!

The next few items, I found in a lot. This adorable Heidi compact, sadly, missing the chain necklace. Still in lovely condition. Mahou no Makochan necklace mirror n comb. I've always wanted one, but they can be very expensive. So to find one in the lot was just amazing and cheap!! Yay me!

New Neverland goods! |
Sara and I went out for a little window shopping and visited the New Neverland shop and I found these adorable animal rulers and a pink gem bow ring!! I simply fell in love with the ring! The shop owner even let me choose a gift! So I got this Sailormoon emblem popsocket! That was so nice of them! I need to visit the shop again soon! Haha!
 |
Vtg Rattle Toy Pony. |
Above, this adorable pink corduroy Pony rattle toy is vintage and has adorable rattles tied in his mane and tail! I believe he is by Plakie. I've added him to my shop and he just too cute to pass up!! Below, I took my toy grand piano from our old house and brought it up here for some photos. So I displayed him next to the red Showa bear. Reminds me of those vintage postcards with toys. Yesss!!
On IG, I found some cute items to add to my collection from a seller. I couldn't resist this adorable Laundry Pin set with rope and toy telephone. The same seller also had this adorable Stahlwood squeak toy milk bottle still MIP!! I love the colors too! Teehee! Great prices too!
And... Lastly, this Lot of vintage 2nd generation Licca Chan vinyl paper dolls! All came with their own boxes and accessories! Whoa!! I had one in my collection. I will keep a few and sell a few. They are listed in my shop already! Just love them and I believe they went with those adorable miniature furniture pieces also by Lotte Licca! I will have to display them so you can see what I am talking about.
Welp, that's all for now. A lot more then I expected but this post also included items I found late last month! Haha! Which only arrived this month, thanks to Ground Advantage. UGH!!!
Happy Thrifting guys!
Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
