I received a cute vintage Gund plush bunny in the mail 3 days ago. Which, I had to mail to my sister in Washington, because the Etsy seller refused to send to Guam. Just as quickly as I bought him, she refunded my money, then convoed me as to why she refunded. I was beyond disappointed, she hadn't even given me an option to send the bunny to someone within the States. Ugh. Warning!! Rant ahead....
Not sorry, I understand if it was because because you have no way of getting your customers box to the Post as an issue, but refusing to mail to Guam, because of the mere fact that you don't want to fill out the customs section. This makes no sense to me! When you ship online, its just a few extra lines to fill in... Seriously! I bought the plush again, and used my sister's address this time. Sent, without any further problems.
Okay, Anywho, she received him and then immediately sent him to me. He arrived safely and I'm thrilled. His rubber face is what drew me to him, beside the fact that he's a boy bunny, a great partner for my girl Gund! He was in good condition with no smells. But, he looked a bit more yellow then usual, maybe dust and just needed a refresher. So, I undressed him and placed him in the wash...
You don't see much of a difference, but he smells oh so nice now. I also washed his pants and top. I didn't wash the vest and coat, because I didn't want it to bleed out the color. I added a button to the vest, a black ribbon tie to the collar, and some forget me not blossoms to his vest. Tada! He was like new again! He's nice and plush, his wires are right where they should be and he's able to bend his ears, arms, and legs if I want too. He stands about 14 inches tall with ears up. His coat has the Gund tag still in place and nice and clear. No sewing on his body needed, Yay! Just sewing on the collar and lace ruffles on his top. Here he is beside his gal. What do you think?
I also found this lovely ceramic lady via Etsy, made by Irice, she is actually a potpourri holder. I thought she was a lipstick holder, but I found another also on Etsy, that is the very same, but in a different color. Love her face, she reminds me of a character... Hmmm, can't think if her now. Her colors are nice and mod style too. She will sit on my dresser for a bit.
Unfortunately, we are preparing for a storm, and just as I was writing out this post, the power went out. Ugh. It's back on, so I hope to finish it before another outage happens. I went to Payless Supermarket and picked up some necessities to ride out the pending tropical storm, which is called, "Wutip", by the way, and is expected to hit us sometime Saturday evening. I also picked up another Kabaya chocolate with toy. This time I got a ring! How cute! It's heavy in weight, and the in the shape of a crown. I will add it to my jewelry collection. Let's hope this storm passes and quickly...
Stay safe everyone and have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
