Hickory Dickory Dock, The Mouse Ran Up The Clock...

 ..."The Clock Struck One, The Mouse Ran Down. Hickory Dickory Dock." ~ Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme.

August is on its way out... Here are some finds from the past week! Below, 1963 New York Expo Napco shakers, boy and girl repaired. Still a lovely vintage shaker set. They are just too adorable. I've added them into my shop and by the way, since Friday, I have been running a 25 percent off sale in my shop! check it out sale ends Monday, August 26th.

Above, this item is not vintage, I made sure to get myself a lovely handmade beaded "Shroom" bracelet by Acid Banana. Susie has so many cute beaded items and this one I just had to go for because of the lovely pastel colors. A great addition to my jewelry collection. Below, I got several vintage pieces from Japan. A lot with anime girl coloring books and memo, along with an Alice in Wonderland hanger still in its package!! Most of the items will be added to my shop.

This amazing find, Alice hanger, was what made me buy the lot. Faded, but still lovely. The hanger is mint in package and I removed it to clean up the hanger. Still with tag. She has some wear, but just too cute. I may decide to keep her. We will see... Haha! 

The next few items are already listed in my shop, this lovely coloring sheets from the 1950s are unopened and I believe includes a paper doll and sheets to color. This lot of 9 Seika Brand coloring fashion doll overlay and memo notebook. My favorites because the dolls remind me of Lotte Pretty Lady Gum dolls. Kimiko Tanaka is the artist. The booklets are available in my shop, your choice with Free Shipping!!

A boys vehicle memo booklet case with memo pad, includes lovely art of different vehicles like a motorcyle, ship, train and spaceships, unused. Below another fashion doll coloring book also in my shop. These items are in unused condition and lovely for any collector!!

This adorable plastic toy compact, watch and lipstick set, comes with a mirror, brush, and necklace. I love vintage jewelry sets, this one I wanted for the lipstick and compact. Mostly because it reminds me of Max Factor compact and lipsticks. This is the first lipstick to look more realistic so it will make a great prop for my photos!! I have a second set that is in my shop if you are interested! Below, I worked on a glass bottle I got from the Goody store and added a Meyercord decal to it and bow. This bottle is also in my shop. It turned out lovely too!

Last but not least this adorable My Toy pink and white bunny with rubber head. I cleaned her up and added a bow. Her face was touched up a bit. She is already listed in my shop and ready to be loved. I hope you all had a decent August, now let's enjoy the holidays coming up...

Happy Thrifting Y'all!!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall...

    This post has nothing to do with Humpty Dumpty, but I hope you still stick around for my latest finds?! LOL Below some things that I was playing around with and discovered...

    I have these adorable Licca gum mini toy furniture pieces and realized that my anime girl game pieces I found last year, actually work well with the furniture!! Haha! I love this adorable closet with a clear suitcase inside and this lovely gal in a pink gown looks like she just finished getting dressed. Below, more of my anime game pieces around the same or similar size furniture pieces.

    Next, I also support other sellers like myself and got this adorable Big eyed Candy Candy style music dolly from a fellow collector and friend in Thailand. I fell in love with this gal and just had to have her for my collection. Sweet starry eyed girl too. I also decided to get this adorable Dance Card with a lovely lady in her blue and pink dress from an Etsy seller. I think it was just simple and sweet and reminded me of the dance cards in the series Bridgerton.

    Then, I purchased this adorable hand sewn Kitty pillow from a fellow collector and seller on IG. Jess always has so many cute things on her feed. Just being able to help other sellers by shopping with them too, makes me smile and I hope that someday they will shop and help support others, like myself. It is hard times for all of us, but just buying something however small helps those of us who are self employed and just trying to live. Here's to manifesting sales for my fellow resellers!!

    I've had this adorable Queenie Quack for 2 months now. I am still trying to sell my first one in my shop if anyone wants to adopt her. This one I will keep for now. She is all original with her original bonnet. Just love her sweet face. I did not have to restore her. Yay! Below, a truly amazing ISO arrived! I've always lovely Ladymate music boxes and this one was one of my dream ones, when I saw it with a buy it now feature, I made sure to snag it, while I could!

    This one has a posedoll princess and swan, so of course based on "Swan Lake" story. It plays "My Way" originally sung by Frank Sinatra. One of Sara's fave singers. I will definitely cherish this music box. I am not sure if it is missing a dancing ballerina or swan. But I will have to look for one to see if there is a magnet under the mirror on the left side. I'll update this post later on if it does. Here's my TikTok video below:

Thrift Finds...

 We've been home since late July. Just trying to get back into the swing of things here. So let's take a closer look at the things I brought back from my trip and what was waiting for me when I got home!

The first antique mall we went to in Florida, if you recall I found this lovely baby rattle still mint in its original packaging. How adorable is he!! He's already listing in my shop. He is a Richard Krueger Baby rattle. Lovely original hand painted face too. Below, from the last antique shop we went to with three aisles of vintage fun! This adorable pink and blue plastic rattle with Bambi on it. This one I will keep for now. I simply love the colors and sweet chime toy sounds it plays when played with.

Before I left for the trip I got this adorable vintage Birthday party cut-out book. 1940s I believe, still in tact and in beautiful condition for its age. I could not resist the graphics on it and just had to buy it. Simply lovely and I can imagine Mother's preparing for a birthday party and using the cards and envelopes it came with!! Below, a lovely mint in box Marianne doll. She is a US version release of Chico Chan. Just love her eyes. She was already adopted and fast I might add!!

Finds waiting for me when I got back...  This lovely plush Easter duck above I adopted to resell from a fellow shop owner and friend on IG. The duck is just too cute with her bonnet and big eyes. She is already listed in my shop! Below a new to me Ellie wooden kitty paper doll with fashions made in the 80s. She is a lovely addition to my collection. I love the different outfits you can dress her up in! Loads of fun too!

I also found a mint on card hair clips with lovely gems and fake jewels on them. The card is in amazing condition for its age and the hair clips are lovely too. A few missing but still a lovely addition to any toy jewelry collection. This too is listed in my shop! Next, I found a rare Meyercord decal, the one with a bunny pulling a baby chick in the cart. I have seen it used in some wood pieces, but to find one still mint in its original sleeve, Yesss please!! Below a lot with two Mid Century Modern plushies, one in red and one in pink. I have the red bear listed in my shop already! The pink bear with stay with me for a bit.

While I was on vacation, I won this large pink furry "Slurp" plush. He is huge and I listed him in my shop and right away he sold too! Love me some funky monsters from time to time!! Haha! The Pinocchio doll after him, I just happened to find while doing my usual searches. He was in lovely condition and just needed a bit of a wipe down. After sharing him on IG, I got a lot of collectors who wanted him. I had not seen this version before. Sadly, trying to find out who made him was even harder. So I will have to dig a little more...

Lastly, these two mini antique plush bunnies. Stuffed with sawdust I believe, they are truly the cutest. I've seen many bunny plushies that were made in Japan, but none that resemble the plush bunnies like that by Jeebee or Genie Toys with the long ears and wires in them. These are so sweet and I love that fact that they don't take up much room at all! They are hard to find and can be costly I'm afraid. So I will just treasure the ones I do have. 

Welp, that's all for now! Happy Antiquing!! Until next time!

Thank you for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls
