Sweet Sunny Daze...

 ... and warm summer nights. Gosh, June is almost gone! My how time flies! Here are some thrift finds as

of late!

This amazing hand painted Lamb wall plaque! I immediately fell in love with when I found it. Reminded me of Meyercord, but perhaps not made by them? 1950s and decided to keep for now. I love her eyes, just dreamy! Below, this lovely condition Gund striped gray and black sleepy kitty with original box. I have listed in my shop already. Rare to find them so minty too!

A set of newly release by Ken Elephant acrylic gatcha key chains of Okura Toys from the 60s and 70s. I really love the one with the rings, because I have the actual vintage version. They are so cute and lovely addition to any toy jewelry or dishes collection from Japan. I have a set for sale in my shop too! Then, these adorable pink rubber rain boots for kids. It has an adorable bear mascot, and its original box as well. Also listed in my shop!

I found these tan Poppo style ladies with eyelashes. Each one in good to great condition and they are just so sweet to display on your dresser or kitsch decor. Both listed in my shop as well! Another keeper find is this adorable Plakie rattle toy! Wild right?! You are suppose to hit the wood teeter and the rattle bounces up and down. Truly unique and will stay with me for now.

Below, an ad from a Billy and Ruth catalog 1962 of a Rushton Soldier Bear. I found a loose one needing some help and cleaned him up, refluffed him and touched up his paint. I made his felt top and found the very same vintage natural cornet style trumpet that he holds in the ad. It was truly a joy to work on him and get him back to his original look!

Can you imagine, he was only three dollars back in 1962!! He will stay with me for now. He looks so much like Cheesy Mouse, but look below...

They have similar face mold, but because of the color paint changed slightly he looks completely different! Haha! Such a sweetie for sure!

Happy Hunting my dear friends!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

It is amazing how time flies and thus today is already June. A special month for many reasons and one of them is for our father's. It's also summer and I must admit it has started out to be a great one... Here are my recent vintage finds...

I was able to find a lot of Barbie by Mattel early trinket boxes. A round one and a rectangle version. I simply love the artwork on them. You can see the art is similar to some of the Barbie doll cases of the late 60s. Simply beautiful and a great vintage piece to decorate your dresser with. Next, I found these adorable Takara Japan Kurukuru Candy Babies. Still with original tags. I have already listed them in my Etsy shop.

I also found this lot of Snowbaby posies in white, red, blue and yellow. Already in the Etsy shop and yellow has sold. They are too cute!! The Holbrook Bear case is another sweet find! I love the Bear Angels and they remind me of my white Chubby Tubby! The suitcase itself is amazing!!

With little to no wear!! I will keep this case for a bit. Below, I also found this adorable pink My Toy plush chick. He is so sweet and perfect with Queenie!! I will keep him for a bit too! The rattle below, I just happened upon and it too is just the sweetest. It is sometimes rare to find rattles with the three heads. But when I do I am often smitten by them!! Haha!

My cutie Laughing pup showcasing my upcycled key necklaces!! I have a limited OOAK key necklaces in my shop here! Each with vintage Rushton cute rubber face plush on them!! I also added lovely satin bows to each. They are a nice addition to any Rushton Collection!

Lastly, these two items. I found another Rushton Bear Hand Puppet. Listed it in my shop and was adopted by the same customer who bought the Lot of two puppets I had. Now, this one will be going to a good home and a growing Rushton hand puppet collection!! Below, I saw a fellow collector and friend on IG selling these amazing vintage wind up lambs, a pink and white version. I received them last week and they are truly so amazing for a vintage item. Both still work and the pink one has sold already.

You can see them moving here on my TikTok, below.

Awesome treasures for sure! Happy treasure hunting guys!!
