Lovely Finds!

 So many good things are abound! And I'm am just so blessed to have amazing dear friends like you to stop by and read my little blog. So thank you all so very much. I haven't done a giveaway in ages... So, I hope to do one very soon guys!! Stay tuned!

Now onto the recent finds...

These adorable ceramic Arnart birds, I was thrilled to find and sold on Etsy fast too. These are not the flat ceramic animals we normally see. These bow tie birds came in lovely colors too. So I paired them up and sold them as a set of 2 birds. Next, I was watching a live sale on IG and snagged this adorable vintage tin baby xylophone toy. He needs a lot of TLC for sure. But was so worth it because I have been wanting one for awhile now.

This adorable and weird vintage rubber faced plush below, I am not sure of the company who made them, and I've searched too. Hopefully someone with a tag on theirs may know... I won through an online auction. She needed some help, mostly her neck was not steady and flopped left to right. So I added some vintage cotton batting, and TADA! She was back to gorgeousness. I did not wash her nor did I add any blush or face paint touch ups. She was all naturally beautiful and even her fur was so soft still too! Just a gentle good brushing with a plastic doll brush, and that did the trick! I did add the bow and vtg daisies! Ha!

Just a 360 view of her. She is made similar to Rushton's Lamb, but with sleep eyes and a mold similar to that of Gund. I believe she may be by Bijou or Columbia Toys. Below, Mattel's 'Captain Kangaroo' rag doll or talking doll. He came in a lot I won and have listed him in my shop. I remember watching the kids TV show as a child. Loved watching Captain Kangaroo. He is available in my Etsy shop!

Next, this adorable Fujika flockie above, missing a lot of her flocking. So I cleaned her up and changed out her rubber stopper and painted her white. I wanted to match her hair and coloring to a little flockie ornament I also have from the same company. I then added a vtg pink rose for her to hold. Now, she is ready to be loved. I have already added her to my Etsy shop!!

This sweet 50s squeak toy pup has fur around his body and squeaks nice and loud, was also found in the same lot I won with Captain Kangaroo. He is also listed in my Etsy shop and is available for adoption! I also added this adorable pink and cream Swimmer brand telephone in my Etsy shop. Great for decor or to use as a prop in your collection photos!! Love the coloring too and it has blinged out dials too!! Haha!

Last for today, is this adorable wind up cat and ball with its original box. I just could not resist! She has the same tin mold as my white Yo-Yo bunny! Love this face style for sure. When she is winded up, her tail swings around to move her so flip as she rolls around with the ball. Just too cute!! Definitely a lovely addition to my little collection. I hope to add more goodies to my Etsy shop as I am trying to thin out my hoard!! LOL So be sure to keep an eye out on Etsy and notifications!

Thank you so much for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Happy Joe Etc...

 I recently found this awesome vintage child's cup named, "Happy Joe". It arrived to me today, and I just love the graphics on the box! The cup itself is pretty ingenious...

"Drink with Happy Joe!" Made in the 1950s, by Consolidated Molded Products. As the graphics on the box says, "Watch Happy grow as you drink!" He came in blue or pink. When you turn him left it locks him in the short height. When you turn right, he is tall. So, when you add a drink, the weight of the liquid pushes down on him so he appears small. As you drink the liquid from the straw(Not included), he appears to grow up. How cute is that for kids! Haha just adorable! Definitely a keeper. I love his face too! He will live with me for a bit...

 

 

I also, found this lovely Cameo Lady Head Bust named, "Eve" on instagram. She is quite heavy too. Lovely 1968 series and number 2000 Limited Ed.. I don't know if she is missing earrings or not? But, she is listed in my Etsy shop already. Next, this lovely minty Knickerbocker Rag doll named, "Jill". I love her eyes. She is made in Japan, and still in her packaging. I just took her out for a photo. Than, I found three in lovely condition Rune Naito ceramic Bunnies via an online Japanese website. I immediately, made the purchase and they arrived to me late last week. I have already sold them in my Etsy shop! All three in just 2 days. Oh my!

Last, are these two amazing and adorable vintage Japan Indian pose doll girl hangings. Found on Etsy, they made it all the way here from Thailand, whew! Unfortunately, it took a month, but I'm just so please they are here safely! Yay! These are stockinette dolls, just like pose doll materials, with yarn for hair, and other cute embellishments on them: like sheer satin ribbons, rik rak and felt flowers. There is a gold tone chain fastened to the back of the head, to hang them from. I love their big eyes with eyelashes too. Both have the markings, "Japan" stamped on them. They remind me of the 1960s or early 70s with their style and look. Very Ayumi Uyama to me, bright rosey cheeks, and red lips. They will live with me for a bit too!

Guam, is entering its second week of lock down. So far, we are having many positive COVID numbers, daily. Seven people have now died from the virus since March. The youngest was 34 years old. I pray we all make it through this. Please stay safe and well my friends...
