Goodbye August 2023...

 Time has flown by and we are already at the tail end of August! Tomorrow I will wake up to September!! Oh my! Here are my recent finds...

If you recall from my trip earlier this month, I got this adorable mini puzzle frame of "Castle in the Sky". Well, I finally worked on it and Sara helped me. It was fun to do too!! I also was able to acquire more "Baby Love" bear tea set pieces. I found the plates, and the glass as well. I have the bear mug and plates listed in my shop for purchase! Check it out on Etsy!

The bear shaped mug above is my ultimate favorite!! I will keep this one along with the tea pot. I also found these adorable kitsch-tastic kitchen towels with adorable anthropomorphic cuties. I love the colors of the towels too!

I was able to track down a vintage collapsible wire laundry basket from the 1950s. I've seen it from a fellow collector and she used it as a display for her dolls. I just had to get myself one for my babies. I was surprised, that the seller had it listed so cheap with free shipping. One seller had it up with a shipping price tag of $175. I was like nope, not that one. They shipped it to me parcel select and it arrived safely too! Yay! It's often hard to find large items that ship at a reasonable price. Oh well.
I also acquired some vintage plushies to restore. Like this adorable Rushton plush elephant. He was fun to work on and turned out just so cute too! He will live with me for a bit longer. Found this adorable almost minty Gund Floral sad bunny girl with her broken plush kitty. She is in amazing condition and will be added to my shop soon! I also restored this adorable Rushton Laughing Pup and Knickerbocker Duckie. I added a bonnet to her and made the bib!



The blue kitty I also restored and repainted her eyes to be blue instead of the ugly green and yellow she had on. I also made her the top she is wearing. The blue kitty sold last week! It's fun to upcycle sometimes and give a vintage plush a new look! These adorable oil cloth plushies below, are just too cute and have already sold from my shop!
I recently won a Lot of vintage Margaret and Ribon manga Japan goods. Most are listed in my shop already. Just amazing! I will keep a few things in the lot for my collection. But oh my goodness just look! A tin full of vintage ephemera as well!!

Lastly, this adorable vintage Ruth E. Newton Nursery book. I love the graphics and the cute kitty is similar to a rubber squeak I found recently. They will be great as a combo!

Well, that's all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful September!!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Yes, I did!

 Another restored cutie pie...

I used "Buy it Now" for this cutie via Ebay and sadly she took a lot longer then usual to arrive. But, when she finally did, I just couldn't wait to see what I could do with her!?!

The past 4 days, I washed her waited for her to dry, then had to figure out how I could fix her ear situation...


In the end, I used plastic glue to fix her ears. I undid the seams and used her old body to create her new fur bod. I used Bubble gum and mint synthetic fur to replace it. I think the color combo matches her makeup nicely. I then, restuffed her, when the glue dried for the ears, I repainted her, sealed her, and TaDa! She was fabulous!! Definitely happy with the end product.
I got some more pastel chalks in, and a new paint brush for all the commissions I will be working on. I'm just glad, Volks USA is still open, whew!! May need to get a few more things there!! I also got two items in from Japan... These mint in package beaded wallets a set of 12 already available in my Etsy shop, and a Toei Anime Little Mermaid book. I have been on the hunt for this for some time!! Now, I have the actual book too! So happy!

I finished restoring the Lot of plushies from my last post also. I made the bonnet and vest for the cutie duck couple above, and they are listed in my shop! The bunny, I was able to repaint and added a bow. He will live with me for a bit... The seller even shared a photo of her as a toddler when she received these cuties back in 1958 for Easter. Just too adorable!!


Last, this lovely vtg carnival doll, and its huge!!! I love her coloring and cute face. She will stay with me for a bit too! She arrived safely all the way from Canada. I've seen these dolls many times, but this one just called to me...  Ohhhhh spooooky! NOT, She sweet in a creepy cute kinda way!

Have a great up coming weekend Y'all!!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Let your past make you...

 ...a better person, not a bitter one.

 

 Just a thought to share... The past week, I have slowly received some lovely vintage finds. Here is what has arrived... Barbie type profile art above, by piccrew app.

This Lot of 41 vintage rubber faces arrived. All the way from Mexico! Many have already been listed in my Etsy shop and a few I will keep for myself. There are two of the same panda bear face, I've used before in my furry plushies I've made, a dog face, Mrs. Claus, Baby faces...


...a Cow with udders, a dear, cat and more. I'll be keeping the bunny and cat head. I still have yet to be inspired to make more of my plushies... It's been kinda still blah, for me. But, we did enjoy Thanksgiving with our immediately family and all were safe and well. Inside the box was also this unique cat jewelry hanger? She has a celluloid type face. I added the black satin ribbon hanger, and the green sheer bow to her. A lovely kitty too!

Next, this Columbia toy plush rubber face duck. He was a delightful find while doing my usual searches. I decided to get him to add him to my shop soon. Just wanted to take my time listing some of these goodies. He is all original too! I also decided to get this vintage Pose doll head with the plastic or vinyl face. She is lovely and I may use her on a doll body or craft something, at some point. Haha!




This lovely vintage toy kitchen sink, comes with its original box, I found in an online shop in Japan. It doesn't have any toy dishes etc. so I will add the toy sushi, desserts and food set that I already have in my shop together with this. I have already listed it too! Pretend play fun for kids. You can even add water into the sink to pretend wash dishes! I also found this lovely vintage Glico dresser. I have the white with red version. But, this is the version I fell in love with, back in 2007 from a fellow collector Superjunk, here. She had come back from a trip to Japan and brought some miniature glico toys and her dresser, and the pink closet have been on my wish list since then. Today, I am happy to announce, I finally found this dresser and the closet, all within this year! Yay! It has been a long time coming too! Ha!

I decided to buy this gal to sell in my Etsy shop. She has cute glasses and comes with her original box. Just an adorable face too! The vintage ceramic soldier cookie jar, was another unique find. He has the cutest face and is in amazing condition. Also already listed in my shop. The bear is a handmade cutie by a Japanese artist, Pinocosmile. She makes many adorable cuties in felt. This one is made to look like a Rushton "Happy Bear". She too is already listed in my shop and has been set on reserve, because a customer will adopt her later this week.



I found the partner to my other Mr. Joe cup, in pink via Ebay! I was so happy, and the price wasn't so bad either. Now, I own the blue and pink cup. They will make great silly photos... more on them soon! Then, this lovely vintage flocked tiger was up for auction via Yahoo Japan. In beautiful mint condition too. He has already been listed in my Etsy shop as well. You can hang him up on your wall or desk!

Last, this lovely vintage cutie I adopted from Kewtkitsch on IG. She had her Mexican clone 'Happy Bear' on her story up for offers, I made an offer, and was sure that someone else did better then I did. But low and behold, she messaged me and said, I was the highest. LOL I was able to adopt her and she arrived safely to me the other day. She is the closest I have to a real Rushton Happy Bear version. I regret selling the one I had, but I did have a good reason. I want the larger version! Haha! One can wish right?! This cutie is the next best thing, and at a way better price. I will cherish her, thank you dearest KQ!

A sweet baby for sure! This year has come so fast, and will go out, whew! It has been surreal. But, I am glad that there is a lot more hope now... for many things.

Until next post, stay safe and well!

Don't be bitter, be better!
