     It's been a minute... My birthday month has begun!! Yippee! It has been a relaxing and festive one so far. I had a few items come in the past few weeks and here they are... 

Locally, I went to New Neverland and couldn't resist this adorable Kitty purse!! I got myself the gray one. Yes, I know surprisingly. Haha! He is so soft and fluffy. I just had too! 

I decided to get this adorable vintage Ohio Art toy drum, because it has the cutest bear graphics on it and it would also made a great display stand on my dresser! A few nicks here and there but nothing serious. It arrived quickly and was cheap too! So no complaints here!! Haha!

Here's where I displayed it along with my sweet bear! Below, I was trying to get the KFC Love and Deepsspace toys they had of the Chibi character Caleb. Sadly, Rafayel was the only one available. So I got him. These are hard to come by because KFC China is the only ones selling these there. Not anywhere else. Still happy I got him! And the shop seller even added a gift!! I love it!

Next, is this adorable journal made by an artist in Japan. Journaling or scrapbooking is very popular there too! I love the vintage toys and paper items in it. Yup, it comes already with all these cute journal additions. Lately, I'm getting into them and wanted a close up of how they are styled and made. Now, that I know, I hope to make journals for myself with all the items I love! More information on that soon!! Just love the way this one is styled for sure!!

I could not resist this adorable Showa Play House bag plushies! I only wanted the blue bunny. But I love how they are in tin cans you can also keep! Very Showa Era Kawaii too!! The makers also have larger plush versions! I am trying to resist buying more!! Haha! Below, I decided to redress mine and add a bonnet to her! Their eyes reminds me of Happy Sachiyo's works a bit or Fairytown's plushies! 

Than, I found this lovely minty pillow animal on the bay!! It is a crib hanging toy with bell. I love this Dingle-Lion. His fabric is very much from the 70s style pillow fabric I grew up with and his mane is so vibrant! I simply love him! 

I found these adorable sitting rubber cake dolls I believe. Their faces look a lot like Sun-chan dolls by Oike, but sadly there are no markings. So they may be made in China or Japan. Definitely 70s and they each hold forget me not flowers and their heads can twist. I will add two dolls in my shop soon! I will only keep the pink one.

Lastly, this adorable pink 70s mini plush bunny by Animal Toys. I love his felt tulip eyelashes and he's all original. Definitely 70s with the foam stuffing and the fur feel. Assembled in Haiti it is quite unique and I love his coloring. A lovely addition to my little collection!

Well, that's all for now and I hope you find great vintage things you love too!

Here are some amazing finds as of late...

Did some shopping at my local Goody store, and found these lovely anime girl sticker flakes!! They are so adorable and I can't wait to use them. The girl in front holding the teddy is just too cute!! There are 8 styles and 4 of each. Woohoo! Below, I found a lot of bunnies and these are the ones I listed in my shop! So cute and lovely to display! They are quite common for vintage, but still adorable.

Below, I simply fell in love with this Swan series eye shadow case by Flower Knows made in China. The compact is just dreamy and inside, the eye shadow and blush even have design imprinted on them. I probably won't use it at all except for display. Haha!

Next, this cutie pie! I found via an Etsy shop and it's a Bunny plush backpack/purse. She took some time to arrive, but so worth it. She reminds me of the bunny in the anime "Chobits". The alter ego of 'Chi'. So sweet and there are other colors too! I wanted a silver bun, but sadly that one was sold out at the time. Still this pink one is just as cute and she has little teardrops soo kawaii!!! EEeee!

I can't believe this, but I also found more variations of the Lotte Big Bubble Pretty Lady paper dolls and decals!! This one I don't have in my collection. So, they are a perfect addition to it! Unused and still in lovely for their age. Sadly, the decals can't transfer anymore, but still an awesome piece of confectionery history!!

This is a special gift from a fellow dear friend and collector, Joujoukawaii!! She had sent me an Xmas gift! I couldn't believe all the goodies inside. She knew me so well and sent a vintage Japan Children's Christmas record. I love the Pose doll graphics on it. I almost bought one from a website too around the same time. So to see it as a gift from was really special for sure. The card and wrapping was extra special as well. Featuring a sweet vintage Santa. Ahhh, Kitsch Christmas goodness for sure!! Thank you my dear sweet friend! ILY!

I hope your January is turning out fabulous! So many things to be thankful for, life, family and most of all friends. 

Praying for all the families affected by the fires in California. Be sure to donate!

It's raining Rushtons!!

I recently used Buy it Now, to get this adorable rare version of Queenie Quack by Rushton Star Creations. She arrived with fur very matted down and discolored. But I was hoping for the best when I began working on restoring her. After her spa day, she was 110% better. Her stuffing was in beautiful condition and I just refluffed it and made sure it was evenly distributed through out her body. Especially the neck area which was very wobbly. I cleaned up her rubber face and only needed to touch up her beak and cheeks.

I needed to figure out how I was going to create her bonnet. Luckily, I had some extra millinery available in my stash!! TA-DA! It turned out beautifully. I may change out the ribbon I used. I want there to be a breakup of the colors and not too much pink satin used.

She is definitely was a surprise to find. A welcome one too. You see, Queenie is one of my ISOs. This version or the original is what I've always wanted. She will stay with me for a time, and I just know where to display her!!

Next, I won this lot of three Rushton, yup you read that right, Rushton Star Creations, Easter bunnies!! Each of them just needed a bit of work on their necks. Sadly, after time, the stuffing always migrates to the body. So their necks were all wobbly. Each came with their original satin bows and flowers. I listed each one in my Etsy shop and the pink sold already!! Love their frosted colors!!

There is even this adorable Chime Toy Gund bunny. In amazing condition and with its original tag as well. He is also in my shop! Just too cute and waiting to be adopted. I also could not resist these two ornament dolls made in Japan. Just look at their huge eyes, made like posedolls, these two will be great for Christmas or Valentine's day decor!

Adorable Douglas Cuddle lamb above. He is actually a bean bag plush. I love the sleepy eyelashes and blue eye shadow. I'm always a sucker for!! Haha! I was able to find and get this adorable miniature plush lamb by Riryuru. One of my favorite Japanese doll toy miniature artist. Now, I have two of her dolly miniatures!

Another favorite find, is this adorable red puppy child foot stool. I was sure it was going to take a month to get to me, but it didn't. And I thought I'd have to go into the Post to get it, but I was wrong there too. It fit inside the post locker and I just had to get it. Yay!! It fits perfectly into my retro decorated bedroom too!!

One of the things I enjoy most, having the treasures I collect around me. Yaaassss!!

I hope you all find what your heart desires! Happy Hunting!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

"Despite the Forecast...

...Live like it's Spring!" ~ Lily Pulitzer

Spring is in the air... well on Guam it's always Summer! Haha! Here are some amazing finds of the past 2 weeks...

Found this antique Douglas Cuddle bear in "Hounds tooth" print. He is definitely adorable and so unique in this color combo. He's listed in my shop. Below, I was able to adopt this cutie from a friend, made by Gund a closed eyes sweet floral print bunny. I love her sleepy face and coloring for sure!

Next, this adorable polka dotted puppy plush in yummy confetti colors, is a musical wind up doggy and play, "How Much is That Doggy in The Window." He has already been added to my Etsy shop as well. Below, I finally was able to acquire this lovely Easter Rushton Ad with Granny Bun!! One of my favorite ads too! I hope to frame this and hang it soon!!

Then, this amazing new to me vintage Rushton plush box. Perhaps from the late 50s early 60s era. It doesn't say what type of plush it held, but it is great to display a Rushton plush for sure!!

And my little sleepy kitty is just too cute inside!! Maybe a bit too small, but I can still display her nicely! Bought a lot of rattles and a squeak to list in my shop. I kept 2 not shown yet. But these rattles and squeak are listed in my shop already!

Adorable cat in bed squeak still works and has lovely coloring. She is not Alan Jay or Ruth E, but still adorbs. The elephant rattle toy comes with the heart rattle you see. So visit my shop soon!

Well, that's all for now... Have a lovely April guys!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Here are a few vintage items I found recently!

I recently found this adorable set of tall bunny shakers and OMG!! I have seen this set before and many love them. But I didn't find it for myself, only to resell and as soon as I posted them the other day, they sold out fast!! Love when cute things get sold fast. Thank you! Below, a lovely vintage child mirror that I thought was just so cute. It came in a lot and I listed this one in my shop!

Below, an item I found via Japan. Sometimes I search through auction and shop sites for cute anime gal things and this one is just a few of the types I simply just love. NFS. By Glico. I also found the lovely Gund kitty. She is wearing an adorable pink satin jumper.

Her head was a bit wobbly and just needed her stuffing refluffed. So I did that and now she is just an adorable sweetheart and her head sits properly. I will keep her in my collection for now.

My Junichi large posedoll has been so much fun to redress and find vintage doll clothing for. She is wearing a lovely Chatty Cathy dress, and vintage straw bonnet I found off of ebay.

And here she is wearing this adorable 1940s vintage handmade cute animal print dress in blue. A mother made this adorable dress for her daughter's dolly. Love learning of the stories behind the vintage pieces I find. 

Next, this adorable Kkumming Bear from S. Korean doll artist, I found on a Japan website. She is just so cute and unique. Her body is made of a heavy bisque perhaps? not sure. Her limbs are magnetic and stay on through the magnets.

She such a tiny sweet pink bear and there are other colors and even a bunny too! I am trying to resist getting more. Haha! Below this adorable striped 1940s bunny plush is in my shop. I found her on FB seller's shop. Just adorable and a great addition to any kitsch plush decor!

This adorable musical bunny in purple is also in my shop! Her baby at her back twists when you wind her up to play the music "Here's Comes Peter Cottontail". Just adorable and also in my shop. Below this sweet Knickerbocker Chime toy rolypoly bunny was listed in my shop, but also sold fast. I love these types of chime toys if I can find them!

Just a few more vintage Japan items I found. Above a Rune Roman Capsule is so cute and has vintage flowers inside. You can open this up and put something else inside to display. Below some unique round erasers by Sunstar or Venice Japan. Has sweet anime gals on one side and the other sweet flowers. I have these three listed in my shop. Each sold separately.

Lastly, this amazing Rushton plush 70s kitty cat!! She is minty and all original, has her original tag and bow. I am still trying to decide if I will list her or not... Haha!

Just the cutest I've seen and rare for a Rushton plush! 

Well that is all for now... Happy treasure hunting guys!

Thank you for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls
