 Gosh, March is already on its way out! Here's some things I found the past few weeks...

I found this cutie rubber doll in blue pajamas and hat sucking on her pacifier from a Japan shop site. I've seen this one back in early 2000s and she was sought after than. But I guess not as much today. She is already listed in my shop. And she's in excellent condition. The ones I've seen before were always in poor condition! Haha! Below, I was doing some searches on Daiso items and found this set of two doll plush pajamas. I am hoping to use them on my Babymilu!! Haha!

 Above, I won these vtg wooden cute retro animal cutouts on Yahoo Japan auctions. I love these wood toys mostly because they are so cute displayed with my decor. They are definitely cutouts from a retro Japan fabric and than someone sealed them onto wood cutouts. Love them so very much too! NFS.

 I also got this Lot of vintage seal stickers mostly for the anime girls haha! I have a few stickers seals that are from this era so I had too! At some point I hope to have a place to display them in. As I mentioned a few posts back, I have been loving scrapbooking and journals from Japan. I found this one that included a lot of retro anime girl or heroine stickers and cutouts. One of my faves.  

I've always seen these miniature books from the 60s that were prizes from Cracker Jack! As a kid I've always hoped I could find a book inside as a prize. But it was mostly a joke card, sticker or game. So I found these two for cheap and got them just to feed the kid inside me. LMAO! So cute!! I love the artwork on them as well. They remind me of Mary Blair!!

These little books are complete stories and even have illustrations in them! There's a whole set, but I only got the two. Below, I found this lovely mint in package toy instrument set! I love the bears on the tambourine and the flower whistle is just too cute! The set is also listed in my shop! 

Welp that's it for now. I hope you are able to thrift some awesome items for yourself or your shop too! Have a lovely weekend ahead my friends!

Thank you for reading! ~ ggsdolls

Here are some amazing finds as of late...

Did some shopping at my local Goody store, and found these lovely anime girl sticker flakes!! They are so adorable and I can't wait to use them. The girl in front holding the teddy is just too cute!! There are 8 styles and 4 of each. Woohoo! Below, I found a lot of bunnies and these are the ones I listed in my shop! So cute and lovely to display! They are quite common for vintage, but still adorable.

Below, I simply fell in love with this Swan series eye shadow case by Flower Knows made in China. The compact is just dreamy and inside, the eye shadow and blush even have design imprinted on them. I probably won't use it at all except for display. Haha!

Next, this cutie pie! I found via an Etsy shop and it's a Bunny plush backpack/purse. She took some time to arrive, but so worth it. She reminds me of the bunny in the anime "Chobits". The alter ego of 'Chi'. So sweet and there are other colors too! I wanted a silver bun, but sadly that one was sold out at the time. Still this pink one is just as cute and she has little teardrops soo kawaii!!! EEeee!

I can't believe this, but I also found more variations of the Lotte Big Bubble Pretty Lady paper dolls and decals!! This one I don't have in my collection. So, they are a perfect addition to it! Unused and still in lovely for their age. Sadly, the decals can't transfer anymore, but still an awesome piece of confectionery history!!

This is a special gift from a fellow dear friend and collector, Joujoukawaii!! She had sent me an Xmas gift! I couldn't believe all the goodies inside. She knew me so well and sent a vintage Japan Children's Christmas record. I love the Pose doll graphics on it. I almost bought one from a website too around the same time. So to see it as a gift from was really special for sure. The card and wrapping was extra special as well. Featuring a sweet vintage Santa. Ahhh, Kitsch Christmas goodness for sure!! Thank you my dear sweet friend! ILY!

I hope your January is turning out fabulous! So many things to be thankful for, life, family and most of all friends. 

Praying for all the families affected by the fires in California. Be sure to donate!

My Birthday Month is Here!!

February has been a special month for me, not just because its my birth month, but because there's Valentine's Day and a few presidents celebrated this month for their bdays!!

LOL So, here's what I found the past few weeks...

Items I found from Japan, this adorable vintage terry cloth bath sponge in the shape of a bunny head, still mint in package! This adorable and creepy sleep eyed doll from the 1950s. I have this large one and a small one. All are listed in my Etsy shop!

Next, this adorable Baby Bunka doll that is quite large too. Already adopted by a fellow collector friend. She is able to sit upright, so legs are jointed. I love the hand painted features of her face too!

These adorable Macoto and Junichi handkerchief I got as a lot. I listed 3 out of the five that were together. I am keeping these two for now...

I don't know if I mentioned, a few years back I got this adorable puppy shaped perfume with a pink lid... Little did I know they used to come in a set of 3 fragrances, Jasmin, Gardenia, and Carnation. All made by Manon Freres perfumes, 1940s. I love the colors and the box they came in was a carnival tent shape. Sadly, the Jasmin perfume leaked I guess and made the roof warped really bad. Ugh. I was devastated, but se la vie! I love the smells, some remind me of my mother's perfume back in the 70s. Below, this adorable clock Plakie rattle mint in box I won from the bay. I will treasure it. Just too cute!!

These adorable vintage upcycled orange and pears, I made into anthropomorphic ornaments! I had them in my shop just a few days ago and they sold out in less than a week! I hope to make more soon! Glad that there was a good reception for them. The orange was based off of the operatic orange that I used to watch as a kid on Sesame Street! A great memory too!

  These two lovely records booklets with sleeves that I got from Japan. Below is one called, "Gift for Girls". This booklet has lovely artwork by Rune Naito and includes four records. Made of really thin plastic and can sit inside a page of the booklet. Each record has one or two songs on it to play. Mostly classical songs. Very calming and beautiful to listen too. The second record is called, "Swan Princess" and the other side is a boys anime theme song called, "Fight Pyuta". Not sure. But still cute!

I also got some adorable anime girl items, like this coin purse above and Macoto T. mini notebook. Just love Shoujo anime gals so very much!! Brings all the nostalgic feels I had as a kid.

Lastly, these adorable vinyl stickers I had made of my "Happy Bear" and "Peter" rabbit. Both are available in my shop too!  You can stick them on your car!! That's all for now, happy thrifting!

Thank you for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls
