Opportunities Don't Happen...

 ... "You Create Them." ~ Chris Grosser

 Summer days have been hot to say the least, but they are being enjoyed. Here are some recent finds that make my little space all the more happier!

Gund 1950s Stuffed Animal

I saw this cutie up for sale on the bay and decided I needed it. A vintage Gund white with pink ears, bunny plush! When she arrived, she was just so minty. Can you imagine? She's like over 75 years old!! She was kept clean and safe all these years and at a decent price too! She will live with me for now... 

 A closer look. I love that she has her original bow!

 

Mary R. snow baby plush doll

Next, I found this adorable antique MaWaPhil snow baby dolly!! Her face paint is in lovely bright condition. Needs a bit of TLC, but I will leave that up to her new owner. Love her, she will live with me for a bit!

Ninizee Lamby.

This lovely Ninizee plush lamb! I caved and couldn't resist getting her! I have one other, but this one was just too cute not to get, especially for the colors! Haha! I also got a Popmart Skullpanda Blossom L'impressionnisme version. Love her coloring and face! 

Blossom.

Next, this lot of vintage Swimmer Japan hairclips and cell charm! Lovely dolly art inside. They are an adorable addition to my hair clip collection!! I will make the cell charm into a necklace instead! Just too cute!

I was able to display my Japanese Festival mask collection in my bedroom. I've been collecting the masks since our family has been going annually to the festivals every November. My 2nd festival here in this post. But last November they didn't have one and instead the Japan Club of Guam had a Spring Festival this year. Which I sadly wasn't able to attend as I was stateside. Ugh. So Here are most of my masks displayed. I need to get more hooks to display the last one not shown. Still it turned out nicely and it makes me happy to see them up too! 

I finally was able to get my lovely Alice to sit on the seat of the Bike plant stand! Now, she is giving the boy a ride!! Haha! I love seeing them displayed in my room! Helping to form my happy space!! 

Lastly, my basket of stuffies!! You can see the little MaWaPhil in the basket too! I hope you have a basket of things that you display to make you happy! That's all for now...

Happy Thrifting!

 The month of June has had its ups and downs. So I hope and pray things get better for all of us. I've been busy caring for my grandson so I haven't had much time to do searches or things of that nature. But here are some items I did manage to find...

Swimmer Japan has made even more cute things as of late. Not only the mugs on my post here, but also adorable ceramic toothbrush holders below and coin banks!!! OH MY Cuteness!! 

These are just cute heads similar to the mugs and smaller and easier to display because of their size! I bought an extra set and it sold super fast in my shop!! Below the coin banks as well! So cute. But I am trying not to get the coin banks because of space. Haha! However, I did get some for my shop!

 The kitty coin bank arrived separately, and just as cute as the others!! I sold a set and have had many others asking for help in acquiring one! 

I spotted this adorable upcycled button ring by Violetpie on IG! I immediately had to get it. I love the look and its so very mod as well. Thanks to Jen for this adorable piece I added to my ring collection. Below, I found this lovely vintage 1963 Barbie charm bracelet. So cute! Now to add some charms to it later. Also another adorable piece to add to my collection. 

Two weeks ago Sara and I went to the New Neverland shop in Tamuning and found these adorable Bricks DIY kits of Sanrio characters and I got the My Melody one and Cinnamonroll. It took the both of us to put them together!! Haha and about 4 hours to complete for each. Fun, but it can be an eye sore if you have to squint to look at where the "T" pieces go!! LMAO!

Next, I got a Lot of Kabaya Jewel Box jewelry of the ones I wanted from the new series. I am still trying to look for other, but this lot has most of the ones I wanted. The princess shoes, pendants and bird hair clip are just too cute! Love those pastel pink and blue colors too! Below, this adorable working Princess magic book with wand. Came in NOS in pink and hot pink. You just need to add 2 "AA" batteries to work it. The wand is also a marker you can use to write a secret message. The necklace has a pendant with black light to use to read that message. The wand when place over the heart, will unlock the book and it has a secret compartment inside as well!

I listed the hot pink one in my shop!! So much fun to play with too! Then I found this adorable vintage Humpty Dumpty rattle with original box. The box is so cute!! It has nursery rhymes through out. Definitely one of my fave finds recently!

 

And lastly, this adorable white child purse with cowgirl! I've already listed in my shop. Just too cute! Definitely a fun find and if you love anime eyed gals, this one is for you!

I hope you all have a safe week ahead and happy thrifting!

Thank you so much for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls 

A Toy A Day...

 ... "Keeps the Sadness Away." ~ unboxingtoys

 So very true. I think toys or blind boxes are the craze these days even with adults! I am not surprised honestly. While gatchas of Japan have been around for ages, it is wild that blind boxes are like a new thing these days...

Oh well, if you love to open a blind box to find the secret one is your game plan. It is all good. It's what makes you happy and no judgement here!! June is here, and I found this adorable vintage 1950s Whitman Color Fun coloring book! If you look at the front cover, it reminds me of Meyercord decals! The sweet little bun and duckling, are similar if not the same as those adorable decals, Right?! It's amazing that Meyercord was so popular back then, that they even made coloring books with the same style! Simply love the design, and inside the anthropomorphic animals are just as adorable!

None of the pages were colored, how amazing is that! I wonder who kept it all these years and didn't get tempted to color the pages!! I will keep this awesome book for now. I hope I can find more in the future!! Then, I ordered these adorable bloomers from an online shop! I just fell in love with them and thankfully they are in my size as well!! It matches my pink ruffled nighty jacket too! How cute is this?! I even got another pair of bloomers not photographed. I just love ruffles, satin and pink so much!! LMAO!

Then, I just happened upon this adorable Barnum's animal cracker magnets!! I was looking for something and this popped up. I had to get a set. Now I have one. Too cute and who else remembers these snacks?! I remember my grandmother giving me a box or asking my Mom to buy me a box at the grocery store.

Next, this lovely Kabaya Princess Jewel Box! I had to get one. I actually saw an auction on Yahoo Japan for a set of four of these and sadly I missed out on them. Darn! This heart shaped trinket case, came with an adorable pearl and diamond necklace. So cute and still in lovely condition for a 2008 Kabaya set. Reminds me of Marie Antoinette's fancy necklaces. Not real just a toy necklace, but hey us gals who can't afford the real one, can still love the toy versions!! Like me, Haha!

I also caved and ordered this Blue bear coin bank by Swimmer Japan. Swimmer JP is killing me with all these cute ceramic mugs, coin banks etc. Below, you can see examples of the other coin banks. The others are a bunny, kitty, and lamb. I ordered the bunny and lamb for now. I will see if I am able to get more in. I'm excited to see them!

Lastly, this adorable wind up vintage Bandai Toaster with replaced toast I was able to adopt from a fellow collector and friend. She needs a bit of help to work but still a lovely toy nonetheless! So glad to have it in my collection for now.

Hope you have a lovely June ahead and keep on thrifting!!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
