June Finds!

 June is here and we are mostly halfway through. A fellow collector friend who owns a jewelry shop online made this adorable brooch I just couldn't resist getting!! So cuute!! She's from the UK so if you want to buy any of her amazing jewelry you can find her here!! Acid Banana!!

Me wearing the brooch that is my fave and below another style she had available that is also so cuute!! Be sure to visit her shop! She has amazing jewelry pieces that even Post Malone wore!! 
 

I found these gacha jewelry pieces while searching Instagram! They are called, "Ephemeral" jewelry and I love the styles that you can find! I got myself four styles and my fave of course is the pink bow heart!! I've always loved bows and finding "bow" themed items is really easy these days since a lot of it is popular now!! Haha!!

Above, I finally acquired this lovely Fruit Drops tin. Made in Japan, they can be very hard to find even in Japan and cost a lot. But I was able to snag this one for much much more cheap, whew!! One of my faves is the Panda decorated one, but there are other styles.

Next, this lovely Yukiko Tani memo book. Inside it has a loose mirror and memo book. It mostly speaks of Astrology and you having a husband?! LOL I just love the artwork on it! Definitely a special memo for sure!!

I also found out that Swimmer released a figures sets of our cute Happy bear and friends! I thought they'd be a lot larger, but this cutie is small at around less than 3 inches tall. I will just have the one figure. They sell the lamb, kitty, and bunny too! Each will come with a stand.

I've always loved kids vinyl suitcases and now I can display my collection instead of store them away! I have more than this, but I will need to put up a shelf to display them at some point. Haha!

Lastly, my lot of vintage cards. Love many of the anthropomorphic ones and cause they are cuute animals I will add to my journal soon! They don't make cards like they used too. Oh well!!

I hope you all have a wonderful time thrifting!! Happy Weekend all!!

New Year, New Finds!

     Happy New Year to you all my fellow Thrifters, collectors and friends! I hope 2026 has hope and more finds for you this year!!

December was so busy with my daughter Taby's nuptials, and my new grandson Ivyn, that I had absolutely no time for anything else!! But I did find some lovely vintage items, and some not vintage, but adorably cute things as well. So here they are...

I still often search through Japan sites when I can, for vintage goodies that catch my eye and this one was too cute to pass up. It's a celluloid sewing kit!! Lovely bunny art on the front cover and inside, it holds another pink celluloid container for needles, etc., an adorable matchbox that can also hold other sewing notions, a pink card with flower and a pair of scissors. I have listed this adorable vintage piece in my shop already! If you want to check it out!

I also was watching the QLY page on IG and they finally released the Light Little Bear doll!! So adorable and affordable too! So I had to get one! He is just too sweet and made of bisque with dress, and card. Little bear will go on adventures with me I hope!! Haha! I even dressed him up in Heidi by Remco fashions. Well only those dresses that can fit! Haha!

Next, I found that you can purchase these adorable mini condiment plates by Swimmer Japan!! These adorable ceramic plates have such cute style art on them that remind me of Meyercord decals!! I had to get a set of these for my collection! I also got a 2nd set to add to my shop. The elephant sold already, but the pony and bunny plates are still there! Be sure to check it out in my shop!

I also happened upon this adorable vintage celluloid pink bonnet rattle toy on Ebay! I quickly purchased it as it reminded me of my Plakie blue bonnet rattle. This one is just too cute for words and so I added a satin bow to her! Than, this set of felt anime girl fabric and needle pillow was found via Japan. It is handmade and I just couldn't pass up for the anime girl art on it. Basically the anime girls I believe are from fabric and the artist glued it onto felt fabric and a felt needle pillow. Just too cute!!

Also, I found a lot of paper ephemera online in Japan. I bought the lot and oh my goodness, so many goodies in the Lot. Below is just a portion of what I got. Paper dolls with adorable Shoujo anime girl dolls. One is holding a children's book. The other two would be great for framing! I have always wanted to find some vintage paper dolls so this was the next best thing!! Yippee!

Below also from the Lot this set of boy and girl paper dolls!! Sadly, their heads were decapitated, so I fixed them! Nothing good ole' laminate paper couldn't fix!! I've always wanted this particular set of paper dolls, because they are just Shoujo Perfection!! They even came with two fashions each. I will have to laminate as well to keep them from fraying or getting ruined. I simply love them!! I definitely feel so happy to have them in my collection! Blessings for sure!

When these paper dolls show up immaculate they can cost upwards of fifty dollars plus!! Ugh! Often really hard to get cheap. Ugh! Below, I finally had a chance to stop by my favorite 100yen stores on island! Goody and Daiso!! Here's what I got...

At Daiso above, I found a case that can hold paper dolls or acrylic display dolls for travel, a case to display jewelry and other items that came with a stand, some felt roses, and cardboard gold hearts! On my 2nd trip just the other day also from Daiso below, I found this large silly chicken that squeaks and his head turns too, more carnation flowers, stickers, light up heart rings, a paper doll case, sticker case, and 2026 calendars, one that is a bouquet and other that are two kitties!

Lastly, from Goody Store, two daisy child shades for my plushies or dolls, origami paper, more stickers, and a clear file binder. I am going to start on a journal project and hope it turns out, more on this later...

Welp! That's all for now! Gosh it is already January 9th! Happy Hunting!

The Real Trouble with The World...

 ..."Too Many People Grow Up." ~ Walt Disney

 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

Opportunities Don't Happen...

 ... "You Create Them." ~ Chris Grosser

 Summer days have been hot to say the least, but they are being enjoyed. Here are some recent finds that make my little space all the more happier!

Gund 1950s Stuffed Animal

I saw this cutie up for sale on the bay and decided I needed it. A vintage Gund white with pink ears, bunny plush! When she arrived, she was just so minty. Can you imagine? She's like over 75 years old!! She was kept clean and safe all these years and at a decent price too! She will live with me for now... 

 A closer look. I love that she has her original bow!

 

Mary R. snow baby plush doll

Next, I found this adorable antique MaWaPhil snow baby dolly!! Her face paint is in lovely bright condition. Needs a bit of TLC, but I will leave that up to her new owner. Love her, she will live with me for a bit!

Ninizee Lamby.

This lovely Ninizee plush lamb! I caved and couldn't resist getting her! I have one other, but this one was just too cute not to get, especially for the colors! Haha! I also got a Popmart Skullpanda Blossom L'impressionnisme version. Love her coloring and face! 

Blossom.

Next, this lot of vintage Swimmer Japan hairclips and cell charm! Lovely dolly art inside. They are an adorable addition to my hair clip collection!! I will make the cell charm into a necklace instead! Just too cute!

I was able to display my Japanese Festival mask collection in my bedroom. I've been collecting the masks since our family has been going annually to the festivals every November. My 2nd festival here in this post. But last November they didn't have one and instead the Japan Club of Guam had a Spring Festival this year. Which I sadly wasn't able to attend as I was stateside. Ugh. So Here are most of my masks displayed. I need to get more hooks to display the last one not shown. Still it turned out nicely and it makes me happy to see them up too! 

I finally was able to get my lovely Alice to sit on the seat of the Bike plant stand! Now, she is giving the boy a ride!! Haha! I love seeing them displayed in my room! Helping to form my happy space!! 

Lastly, my basket of stuffies!! You can see the little MaWaPhil in the basket too! I hope you have a basket of things that you display to make you happy! That's all for now...

Happy Thrifting!
