A good friend knows all your stories...

     ... "A best friend helps you write them." ~ Unknown.

 The month of June has had its ups and downs. So I hope and pray things get better for all of us. I've been busy caring for my grandson so I haven't had much time to do searches or things of that nature. But here are some items I did manage to find...

Swimmer Japan has made even more cute things as of late. Not only the mugs on my post here, but also adorable ceramic toothbrush holders below and coin banks!!! OH MY Cuteness!! 

These are just cute heads similar to the mugs and smaller and easier to display because of their size! I bought an extra set and it sold super fast in my shop!! Below the coin banks as well! So cute. But I am trying not to get the coin banks because of space. Haha! However, I did get some for my shop!


 The kitty coin bank arrived separately, and just as cute as the others!! I sold a set and have had many others asking for help in acquiring one! 

I spotted this adorable upcycled button ring by Violetpie on IG! I immediately had to get it. I love the look and its so very mod as well. Thanks to Jen for this adorable piece I added to my ring collection. Below, I found this lovely vintage 1963 Barbie charm bracelet. So cute! Now to add some charms to it later. Also another adorable piece to add to my collection. 

Two weeks ago Sara and I went to the New Neverland shop in Tamuning and found these adorable Bricks DIY kits of Sanrio characters and I got the My Melody one and Cinnamonroll. It took the both of us to put them together!! Haha and about 4 hours to complete for each. Fun, but it can be an eye sore if you have to squint to look at where the "T" pieces go!! LMAO!

Next, I got a Lot of Kabaya Jewel Box jewelry of the ones I wanted from the new series. I am still trying to look for other, but this lot has most of the ones I wanted. The princess shoes, pendants and bird hair clip are just too cute! Love those pastel pink and blue colors too! Below, this adorable working Princess magic book with wand. Came in NOS in pink and hot pink. You just need to add 2 "AA" batteries to work it. The wand is also a marker you can use to write a secret message. The necklace has a pendant with black light to use to read that message. The wand when place over the heart, will unlock the book and it has a secret compartment inside as well!

I listed the hot pink one in my shop!! So much fun to play with too! Then I found this adorable vintage Humpty Dumpty rattle with original box. The box is so cute!! It has nursery rhymes through out. Definitely one of my fave finds recently!

 
And lastly, this adorable white child purse with cowgirl! I've already listed in my shop. Just too cute! Definitely a fun find and if you love anime eyed gals, this one is for you!

I hope you all have a safe week ahead and happy thrifting!

Thank you so much for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls

New Beginnings... 2025

 ... Well, technically with every New Year, some may want to think we can start anew! So let's just go with that! Haha!

Oh my goodness, it's 2025! If I recall right as a kid probably around 10 years old, I remember I imagined 2025 to look very different. Back then, I pictured peace in the world, our planet with no pollution, and we all drove flying cars like in the cartoon 'The Jetsons'. I wondered if our homes and apartments would be in the sky and how that may happen. Haha! In reality, we are far from it. So now, in my Fifties, I wonder what 2055 may look like?! I won't be here, but one can still imagine.

We all can hope and look forward to a good year. I've been mostly busy being a doting grandmother to my youngest grandson! While his parents are at work, I babysit a few days out of the week. So it has been quite busy here with a baby.

First, here's a lovely tea bowl I got from Swimmer Japan. I love the design and the cute animals on them. The color combination along with the retro look of the animals and design is just so adorable! Reminds me of the good ole' days very kitschy cute for sure! I also got myself the bento tin Swimmer released with sweet retro animals on it! It even came with the elastic to keep the tin securely closed. I will more than likely use it for storage.


Below, I also found another Swimmer retro bear plush. I listed it and immediately it sold, thanks to a fellow collector and friend who also bought the first bear I listed! Thank you Linda!! She wanted a partner for her pink bear! Awww!

Lastly, just a quick snap of my Rushtons in a Basket! These are the plushies that I have displayed in my room. Mr. Monocle is just so dapper! I love seeing his creepy face! Haha!

I hope you all have a great start to your New Year! Let's strive for a great 2025! Happy Thrifting!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
