Life goes on...

 Some goodies I got after Labor Day... First, this lovely plaid bunny plush. I found this cutie on Etsy. Fell in love with his plaid coloring in blue. He has a tag with the "Made in Japan" marking on it. Wires in his ears, he has pink glass eyes, and red threaded nose. He is small, only about 5 inches tall. There was a pink plaid bunny, but, it was snatched up a few days after I purchased this cutie. He will be added to my little bunny collection.



I also found this lovely Educalux stackable baby/toddler toy from France. Made in France, I fell in love with the dolls face. A fellow collector, has the blonde version and I wanted to find out where her cute dolly came from. So, figuring out where it was from and finding this one was awesome! I love her tan skin tone and cute bob. You can remove her head, and the rings underneath. The lower half of her body is a tingaling sounder. She rings when you carry her or wobble her. Just adorable, she has already been added to my Etsy shop.




Next, I couldn't help but order another Amanitarium cutie! This time a pink bear. She is slightly larger then my first bear. This one has her eyes open. She is a big sister to my white bear. Just love Anna's work and I'll definitely be back for more!! I also ordered this lovely pink music box mini telephone. I have a yellow one, and was surprised the same seller had a pink one available. Sadly, it doesn't work unless I force the wind key to move. It is supposed to play the song, "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Still cute for display though!



Last, this lovely lot of Bunka posedoll, and wooden furniture toys from my dear friend Feeriqueshop on Etsy! She showcased this along with other cute items on IG. I couldn't help but snatch them up. They arrived to me safely and just look how adorable these items are... I love miniature wood doll furniture, but to also have the Bunka or tiny posedoll that comes with these vintage Japan doll toys, is even harder to get! They can be very expensive, because these dolls were made around the late 1950s, early 1960s. The wooden furniture are similar to dollhouse furniture. Perhaps about 1/12 scale. The dolls were little rag dolls, that you could pose on the furniture. This lot came with a closet, a stroller, and a dog house with dog.

The closet has one door that opens, but the drawers and other closet door, can't open. The swan stroller is lined with red velvet, and the little wooden dog can be removed from the dog house. The little posedoll below, is a somewhat a smaller version to a standard posedoll. She is without wires in her body to help her stay in position, and is quite delicate for her age. I love her painted face, she is just adorable to me. I can imagine the little girl from the 1950s, who owned her, and used to play with her along with the closet, and little wooden dog...

Thank you so much Feerique for allowing me to adopt her. I will treasure her. She is a welcome addition to my collection and just what I needed during this Lock Down. Which by the way was extended until September 11th.

Please stay safe and well my friends...

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Update: I also made another Fuzbear Squeak with Bird Sounder. Yup, I added both a squeak to her right ear and a Bird sounder inside her. So you can shake her and press on her ear to hear the sounds!!

New Mini Plush...

 I recently saw another collector's post about her cute mini plush via instagram. I fell in love with them and made the move to contact Amanatarium on instagram or Anna, who created them. I was able to purchase a white bear she had available and it arrived safely to me a month later from the UK. Upon opening the letter packet, the box inside was crush. I was so worried... But, when I took the little bear out, she was safely wrapped in bubble wrap, and she was fine. Whew! Anna, does an amazing job with her facial art. I love the little star on the bear's forehead. She reminds me of a Rushton plushie and Sailormoon combined. Eeek!! Even the way she had sewn the bear, I love its little paws. Definitely a great addition to my mini plushie with clay faces collection. I will have to update my photo of them soon, too! So, you can check Anna's Etsy shop or find her on Instagram for her unique and adorable creations and jewelry.



Next, I found this lovely vintage Takara Chichan with her carriage!! I almost never find Chichan outside of Japan, and a Princess version with her carriage. Yay! She arrived safely from California and she is in amazing condition too. She is missing I believe her tin stand, crown, and staff? Not sure. She came wearing her magnetic shoes, and white gown. The carriage is an acrylic carriage, with white plastic frame, top and gold trimmed wheels and decor. Inside is a pink pillow with white tassel trim, and even her horses are acrylic! Too bad she didn't have acrylic shoes! LOL I did make her a crown! I used rik rak in gold and a pearl pin to hold it in place.




Last, I received this vtg Barbie baby bassinet and pillow. I have plans for this one, more later. So far, we just started our lock down on Guam, on Sunday. Sara also started her online classes and it is definitely a new learning curve. Mostly, her and I getting used to figuring out how to do an online class meeting. Not bad once she got it, and I do like the way she has assignments emailed to her directly from the teachers. She has 4 periods per day, and so far, today, was our first time learning how to google meet. I'm glad we did or neither of us would've known how. Gosh, a new norm for sure...

I hope you all are staying safe and well. Take care and be kind...

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
