Awesome-ness...

...finds in this week...

I recently found this lovely vintage possibly, Sankyo or Ladymate music box via a Japan online shop. I think the cute puffy decal of a Princess holding onto her Prince was just dreamy. Especially with a silhouette of their castle in the distance. The seller mentioned it wasn't working. But when I took a look, it was working and just a bit slow, but still played beautifully. Unfortunately, I don't know the song, but it is definitely a Japanese ballad. I cleaned up the lid as best I could with soap and water, ever so carefully, not to wipe away the image of the castle. I have already added this beauty to my Etsy shop.

In the same box, I also received these loose vintage finger puppets. I have always wanted the bunny and dog. So, it was amazing to find them, even if they are loose. They will be added to my growing collection of finger puppets. I was also able to find these vintage cuties to add to my shop, another Jill The Wonder Foam Paper Doll set in a 12 inch version, a vintage Valentine Novelty Pixie ornament, still MIP, and a loose cute little Bisque German doll. Which I added a little fashion jumper on her. These goodies are listed now in my Etsy shop.

From my usual searches, I found this adorable Kitty in a boot squeak toy! He is just like the ceramic version of the same style. This is also made in Japan. It doesn't say whether it is by Iwai or Ninohira, just the words, "Made in Japan". He is just too freakin' cute. I may add some fur to him. I will be keeping him. Next, I also found this lovely vintage gold plated new/old stock fish brooches on card. I actually had it as a favorite for 2 months, and decided I'd get them. I love their shiny pastel colors. There is even rose gold, before rose gold was even a color!! Haha! I love the underwater art on the card too.

Then, I also found these lovely pastel plastic coasters or bridge containers. I was thinking of using them like stands for some of my ceramics, needing a boost to showcase them in my cabinet or maybe to hold some beads? They were unique and I like their colors. I found this Spartus Black Cat Clock, it works, but is missing its tail and one of its hands. The seller did add a set of hands, that you could replace with the old one with. I may add it to the shop, since I don't have the wall space.

Next, I found this lovely vintage wooden stroller. I really loved the blue and pink color combo, and knew that when I received it, I could add a cute animal decal to it to make it look like those super cute nursery Meyercord decaled toys! And, it was perfect with my little "Herohero" baby doll too! What do you think? Last, I finally found this lovely Rushton plush crazy eyed Bunny Girl in a pink sheer dress. Yay! She is about 24 inches tall from tips of her toes to her ears. I am just in love with her! Though Sara thinks, she looks crazy. Haha! I wipes her down, and brushed her plush. She didn't have to be washed, which was perfect, Yay! Even the satin on her ears are in lovely condition. I added some satin pink ribbons to her shoes, and a blue satin ribbon to her dress. Along with some paper flowers to her ears, in the last photo. Be safe and well!!

Lapin Couple Japan!!

A long anticipated vintage Japan figurine couple finally arrived to me today along with updates on other things!!

I won these adorable vtg Lapin/Bunnies ceramic couple coin bank figurines made in Japan from Yahoo Japan. They have the same face as the Lapin string holders you see, that are often sought after. This version has a lovely girl bunny holding a flower. I believe she is supposed to have a tiny bee on her ear, there is a little opening in the ceramic. I will see if I can find a replacement. They each have felt covering underneath. Lovely versions for sure.

I did add the blue and pink satin ribbons to each of them. Yes, I used DHL again to bring them in. Expensive but worth it when they get delivered directly to my door! Whoo hoo!! Next, I found these adorable ceramic donut trinket boxes from this Etsy shop here. I was searching for ceramic cupcakes and these were shown!! In lovely pink deliciousness with sprinkles! I may get another. You can put bracelets or rings, charms, brooches inside! So deliciously cute!

Next, I opened the packaging for these cuties so I could get a closer look. The miniature Japan doll is cute and she can twist her head and arms. Sadly, her legs are stationary, but she will be great for as a dollhouse dolly. Just adorable and her eyes, remind me of the cartoon Tintin! I also took out my cutie Pinky! She has faux fur pink hair. Her head is the only part that can twist. Still a keeper!

Last, is this adorable vtg German Bisque doll, I found also on Etsy, like my last one. Though this one came nude. I redressed her and added a bow too! I took some peach lace from the roll I bought at the Daiso, and made her bikini bottoms with it, then took vintage fabric, and made her a top. What do you think?

Now, I have two of these cuties! They are both under 3 inches tall. The taller one's blue eyes have more depth to them. Happy Friday everyone!!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
