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
