Hello September... Since my last post, I've refrained from buying merch from Japan for my shop. I'm just being very cautious these days if I can help it. But here are some items that I found recently stateside...

 

Found these adorable Storybook Nancy Ann dolls for my shop. Two are listed and I will add the third soon. I've seen them before, but never brought myself to buying any until now. They are bisque dolls with frozen legs, but their arms are jointed. I love their simple faces and cute delicate dresses. Great to display on your dresser or in a dollhouse!

While browsing IG, one of my fellow collector friends showcased these adorable wall plaques with Meyercord decals! I had to have them!! So cute an adorable. Bears dressed up as sailors! These wall plaques will definitely be a great addition to my bedroom. Now, to find a spot! Haha! Below, I found a lot of two doll fashions, one I knew would fit Alice and the other I may add to my shop!

I was right! When I took the blue pajamas out to try on Alice, she fit them perfectly. The pants fit as well considering they are a bit short, but sometimes pajama pants have a short style. She is still just too cute in them and are the last things I dressed her in...

Next, this more recent in age, dolly fashion by Dianne. A pink sweater top for Alice as well. I love finding vintage dolly fashions that can fit her. They don't often fit her, but when I do discover them, they look amazing on her!!

Next, this adorable Premier Doll fashion can fit larger companion dolls, but still was adorable on Alice as well. A very simple pink dress with pleats and ruffled lace sleeves. How can I not get this one for her as well!! LOL

I brought my vintage poodle up here to the village for some photos and to decide if I should display her in my room. She's so cute and looked so sweet with Alice beside her. But, after a day I ended up deciding to put her back in storage for now. I'm trying to limit what I have here.

So precious, I could not help but get these Elzac Hollywood doll brooches. I love them! They both look unique and remind me of pose dolls.  

Last, I had ordered back in April more Small Puppy Cotton Candy bjd parts and one body set. I also ordered the puppy ears they offer from the Chinese seller on Taobao. I was so worried about tariffs. But luckily, it was just the shipping that was costly. So perhaps it won't be too bad should I decide to order from Asia again. I did however have to wait three months before they were able to shipped due to manufacturing constraints.

Well, that's all for now. Happy thrifting! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls

 Hello August!! Here's what I found along the way...

 I've seen this adorable plush dolly via IG and finally found the creator and where to buy her. Her name is Super Berserk Coco 200 percent. She reminds me of Blythe and a Labubu all rolled up in one!! Created by G Guo Dolls or Fantastic Beasts. Coco is a super sized plush bear or little girl wearing a bear costume. Just too cute. I was able to get one and she arrived super fast!

She came in a green bag with box showcasing Coco or Bonbon who is in pink. She can fit some baby doll clothing. I loved trying on several doll outfits to see what she'd look cute in!! My fave below!!

 Next, I found a lot of three containers which had two Swimmer brand items and one from Daiso. This adorable bear case is great for holding trinkets or other cute things. I've already added it to my shop! Then, lovely poodle canister, great to hold jewelry or perhaps things for the kitchen! Also added to my shop and available!

 

Last of the items in the lot, is this adorable pink jeweled quilted purse case. Made by Daiso, it opens by twisting the heart jewel at the top to unlock the purse. Great for holding makeup or other fun trinkets!! This one I kept for myself! I just love it!

I couldn't resist these adorable Penny's Box Antu plush bag dolls. The ones I got are the little fox and puppy. I love their colors and what's neat is that you can remove or interchange their heads on the bodies and their capes as well. I believe there are doll figures too!

Next, I found this adorable Premier dolly fashion. I was hoping to have my Alice wear this, but sadly, it is too small for her. Darn! Oh well, it will work on other dolls I have. Still a lovely vintage piece for sure!! Lastly, this adorable "Die erste Locke" or 'First Baby Tooth holder'. I just couldn't resist it. I won't use it for a tooth, but instead other things! LOL! Love the little face and freckles!

I hope your August is beginning on a great note! 

Wishing you all "Happy Thrifting"!! Until next time!

Thank you for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls

Love the Giver More Than The Gift...

 15 more days til' Christmas! Here's what I've found recently...

This adorable rare Macoto Journal or "Free Diary" is in used condition, but just simply lovely. I was very surprised to find it. I love Macoto's artwork and his ladies are always surrounded by flowers. This book will be treasured for sure! One of my favorite finds last month or so. Next, while do my usual searches, I found a MaWaPhil doll with her original tag. This is Little Miss Muffet by Mary Rushton. She is in beautiful condition and her tag is just too cute. One of Mary's earlier works for sure. She is already listed in my shop!

Next, I found this lovely musical record player and coin bank. I added the blue bear decal by Meyercord on the front. Just adorable! Now, to decide if I will keep or sell... Haha! I also won this lot of 2 baby doll fashions via Ebay. One fits my tiny Rushton Baby and I am hoping the other will fit my Sekiguchi baby!

Just having fun with tiny Rushton baby in her walker. She is truly special to me and just had to share... Than, I was able to snag this Rushton Box from Japan. Just look at all the adorable art work on it. This one is definitely an earlier Rushton box because it mostly features plush animals, and only one rubber face. Yup, you guessed it "Chubby Tubby" so probably about 1950s or so. Just look at each of the plushies represented...

Also, I did a few restorations and upcycled this adorable Rushton kitty. I gave her blue eye shadow and eyelashes. She sold in my shop last month and I'm so happy she has a forever home. She is quite unique and still had her original Rushton tag. Then, I restored this lovely curly haired 'Happy' bear for a collector in Japan. Her 2nd time utilizing my service. Thank you dear Satoko! He turned out lovely as well and I'm so please she was happy with him too!

This adorable Sun Rubber, yup you heard me right, Sun Rubber tin baby doll crib! It is a doll bed and if you flip it, a doll rocking bed. I couldn't resist getting it. Mostly for the color and graphics on it. Just too freakin' cute for sure! I believe it fits any of the Sun Rubber squeak dolls perhaps. I have not found any information on it. It sits underneath my pink Christmas tree this year! Eek, so cute!

I also received a care package from one of my dearest friends! Thank you Alvina! I love the Johanna Parker creamer and sugar bowl she sent me. We do get some J. Parker items, but only through Ross on Guam. So they can be hard to find if you don't catch them when Ross stocks up their shelves. LOL So many cute things she sent, like a tin filled with yummy snacks, and lip balm and lotion. I just love everything. I truly appreciate you dear!

Lastly, this adorable artist made rubber face, "Scrappy" bear purse by the talented, Bluu.squeaks on Instagram! I bought one of her purses to go with my blue dress. And just look it is perfect!! The quality and cuteness is just amazing. I love the pompoms most, so colorful too! Can't wait to wear my dress and get out there for photos!!

Bluu has other styles available. Be sure to check her out on Instagram or tiktok! Definitely worth getting and affordable as well!

Hope you've gotten your Christmas shopping started?
