Another Year Has Come and Gone...

 Oh my goodness, this year has gone way to fast!! We are on our last month of 2024, and I'm not ready yet! For what? You ask, well nothing really I am just rhetorically stating the obvious. Haha!

This year had many good memories and some challenging ones. But all in all, it was great! Here are some things that I found recently...

These lovely made in PI fabric house ornaments!! I have a total of 12 houses in the lot. I am deciding whether to put them up on our main Christmas tree or have them up all year round in my bedroom?! Decisions, decisions. Lovely Rik Rak and gingham or striped fabric, these vintage ornaments are just too cute!! Below, I finally finished the ring holder frames I showed in the last post here. I think they turned out nicely. I will have to fix one of them. The other is listed in my shop!

Next, I found another pink Honey Toy Bunny plush, but for a friend. She was in a decent price range too as compared to others. She is already on her way to him!! Enjoy Gabe!! Then, I also got this wedding set with groom and bride. Both are listed in my shop as well. I figured someone might want one for themselves! LOL

I also decided to make some outfits for my Bunbun...

I made her a clown collar to go with the birthday hat I already had in my collection. Then I made her two skirts using ruffles I got from Daiso in Japan. I just added button snaps and Ta-Da! She had a skirt. Only one shown below. Still adorable naked, but I wanted to add a bit more to her look! These skirts could probably fit Labubu too! Haha! I also found some lovely handmade bonnets from Japan. I need to add the two extra I got into my shop. Hopefully soon! They fit Rushton plushies or BJD dolls.

Last but not least, this awesome vintage Glico magic mirror, was still sealed in original plastic of Rose of Versailles Marie. At first glance you see Marie A. posing but if you place a light behind the case...

 

... You will see Lady Oscar playing the violin!! How cool is that?! I've always wondered what these cases were for... Now I know. For my collection. Welp, that's all for now. Until next time, happy hunting!!

Long time No Post...

    Life has been busy, but the good kind. We spent Halloween with my grandson. Sara, myself, Taby and Brenavin took baby to our old haunts, Barrigada Heights on a whim. We actually wanted to just stay close to home, and go the the event at the community center. Instead, since we had to pick up Taby's partner we decided to check out Barrigada Heights for some treats. It has definitely changed since the pandemic, because not as many homes were giving out treats the last 2 years. This year there were a lot more houses participating. So I guess you could say it was picking up. Yay!

    It was my grand baby's first Halloween this year! It was fun and so good to see lots of kids in costumes! Afterwards we went to Don Don Donki for their Halloween event. Even more fun and lots of treats were given out! So this year definitely did not disappoint. Now that its over and most of us will get ready for Christmas! Haha!

Halloween w my babies!!

 

    As for finds, lately I've been narrowing down what I've been searching for and well the vintage Rushton department has really slowed down. Most collectors are not paying the big bucks anymore, so that leaves sellers still asking high prices, but no sales. I was lucky that I was able to sell some of my Rushtons that I had to let go at decent resell prices just so I could get my money back. But there is still a zero bidder and and a mean spiteful collector who will email sellers and bullies them. Truly sad. So, focusing on other things have been a lot more peaceful. Haha! 

    Here are some recent finds... Above I found these two lovely vintage Collection of Children's music albums with Pose dolls on them and retro plushies. I've seen them once before from a dear friend and collector. These were up for auction and I won them at a decent price. I have them already listed in my shop! Great for Pose doll collectors. Below, is a lovely Gund bunny that I found on a whim via the bay. I didn't have to clean her up and she was my last vintage plush purchase. She will live with me for a bit.

    As of late, I've been really looking for Baby Nanci cute things. Yup, bit the Nanci bug. But I am trying to tell myself I only want a few. Haha! I got above the Hug Me series of Baby Nanci. This one my fave, I found through Japan. The big bear holding baby Nanci in pink is flocked and so soft. Baby Nanci in brown hair in the bears arms. Just too cute! My fave of the series and the only one I really wanted. So I am done. Yeah right so I tell myself! LOL Unless they come up with something else that is just as cute. My brain says I hope not! Haha! Below, a Junior Margaret doll loose still talking for a friend. She is just so adorable and made it safely to her owner.

    I also had to get this blind box Labubu Macaroon Series. I was wondering what all the hype was and it is basically because of Black Pink's singer "Lisa" showing off her collection of Labubu's that made the hype even more viral. I saw so many TikTok's on these. It's not funny. So at least I can say I have one and I didn't pay any crazy price. Whew!! Below, I was doing some searches on "Nutcracker Fantasy" stop-motion film and found some lovely vintage merch on them via Japan!!

a record.

Stationary set.

    The record for the same movie series and a stationary set with Popup card too! The record I will keep and the stationary is already listed in my shop! Below, I also found a Sanrio Music book and it still works as well. This book is also listed in my shop! It plays most of the featured songs from the movie!

    Lastly, are these amazing earlier released Rose of Versailles coin purse gatcha series. I love the pouches with the anime eyes most and will keep them. ROV was a lovely series about Lady Oscar, back when I was about 7 years old. My sister and I had a box purse case my mother bought from A-One Shoe store, they brought in many anime merch from Japan. I had a box purse of Lady Oscar and Marie Antoinette in pink. I always thought Lady Oscar was a guy and as a kid the anime version of the art work was just dreamy to me. I wish I still had that purse case. Oh well, the memory is still there. Haha!

Have a lovely start to your November guys and Happy Thrifting!
