Japan Online Finds In!!

Today, I got two boxes and both were finds from Japan. Here's what happy mail arrived...

 I won a lovely tan doll from Yahoo Japan, and the other three items I purchased directly from an online shop in Japan. These are the before photos... More when I look at each item individually...

 First, the tan Sanwa Japan doll. I've seen her via Yahoo Japan before, and was truly surprised that I won her. She has the same face as those tan girls that are on their tummy with her face on her hands, but her body is quite different. She has long arms and legs. You can twist her head and her arms only. The legs are stationary. She is wearing a blue and white striped top with matching shorts. Upon inspection, her shorts are glued at the back, so I wasn't able to take them off. The blouse I was able too and washed it. I washed her hair and wiped her body down. When I was combing out her hair, she had a part down the middle. This means that she was supposed to have two ponytails. After brushing her hair, I tied it up and added red bows. Her red shoes are not removable, and if you see underneath they have cardboard and paper on the sole.

 

She stands about 12 inches tall, even with her wobbly looking legs. She is quite unique and will live with me for a time. The hair tie she came with is cute and small, I will keep it also. Then, I also got a lot with two ceramic figurines, a bunny and a puppy. I figured I could upcycle them and add some fur! It was fun, and with the bunny I just added a bit of fur to him and a sheer ribbon. The puppy, I furred all over and added a blue paper flower to her head and a gold band around her neck. There is a heart attached at the back. Both are just too cute and the colors just pop out at cha! I listed both and they were adopted right away! Thank you dear Stacey for that one!!

 The Junichi Nakahara pin brooch above, is the 2nd one I found. I couldn't resist getting it for someone who loves Junichi N. art. She is famous for her Shojo or Josei Anime of the 50s and 60s. Just google her you will see! I've added it to my etsy shop already! Below, Wataru by Takara 1960s. He is the boyfriend of Licca chan! I've been wanting a Wataru for a long time... and recently found one available and for a decent price. Probably because he's missing his shoes. No matter, I can find an original pair later. He is not bad for being over 30 years old. I redressed him and he will live with me for a time! Ha!

That's all for now... As Lamby would say, "Baaaa!"
