... And, well, if you started reading this, and was hoping for some ranting or venting to happen, sorry. Just thought I'd go with this for a post starter. LOL
Here are some goodies I found the past few weeks...
Well, technically, these are not vintage, but adorable pieces I had to share that I got from DollsKill website. They make lovely adorable pink pieces in plus sizes for us voluptuous gals. Haha! I got this adorable pink bow crochet sweater (above) and this truly gorgeous brocade dress (below). The brocade dress gives me "Bridgerton" vibes. I will be wearing this when the next series comes out in May!! Teehee!
Next, I was able to get myself this Pinocosmile from Japan needle felted running artist bun! I've always loved her works, so I am so glad I was able to get one.
The adorable Forsum dolly above, I was able to bid on and win. She is now ready to go to her forever home. Forsum definitely made some cute dollies in the 60s and 70s. Below, I found these two bunnies by Gund available and at a reasonable price. They each needed a bit of TLC and are now adopted and on layaway for a customer. I'm always happy that I am able to find new homes for the vintage toys, dolls and plushies that come through my shop. It means a lot. So thank you guys for adopting them.
These Jr Margaret dolls I was able to find for a dear friend stateside. The dolls were not regularly listed as what they are, which is 'talking dolls'. So to find these not purchased yet, was surprising. They are already on their way to they're forever home. These dolls still talk too! Wow!
One of the reasons, I searched for the dolls above, is because that same dear friend helped me to acquire this Nod by Rushton!! I found him via a marketplace, and the seller did not want to ship to me. Even though I was willing to pay her for shipping, etc. So, I went the route of asking a friend stateside to help me get him. Sure enough, she was able to meet up with the seller and get him for me! Then ship to me! I was so happy. This Nod didn't need any major work except to remove his stuffing as it was that yucky sponge stuffing. Which is what caused his pajamas to start turning brown. Long story short, he was in beautiful condition, and I didn't need to do anything major to fix him!
Below, is my vintage rattle collection... I had to bring them up to the house here for display and since I finally received this adorable changing table for baby dolls. It was a perfect shelf to display them in. I also got this adorable Krueger Bonnet doll. She was in amazing condition for her age.
More on this Changing table above, believe it or not, it was a birthday gift to myself. I found it on Etsy. But had to pay a bit more for shipping to me. It took a month to arrive. That I was not happy with, but it did arrive safely, and it was in lovely condition with the exception of the bottom shelf panel being cracked and needed fixing. Still it a lovely piece and to display my vintage toys or dolls with too! Yay!
The most adorable art piece I've acquired above. Made by Evilbimbo on Etsy. I love the way she created this painting of two cute plushies that resemble "Rushton's Peter Rabbit and Happy Bear!" Even the color of the paint and double frame she used gave me shabby chic vibes.
Well, that's all for now. I hope you find lovely vintage things that make you happy! Be sure to check my shop on Etsy for some cool vintage items available! Happy Hunting!
Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
