February Finds...

 Oh my goodness, I can't believe how fast February has gone, before you know it, it will be March!! Here are some of the finds for February thus far...

I bought this adorable Ado M. lady vase via Japan. She is actually an incense vase, I believe. she has a short type vase area on the right side of her head. She reminds me of the movie "Boxing Helena". I've never watched it myself though. I also received a lovely gift of treats from a dear friend for my birthday too! Alvina in Canada, thank you dear for the yummies!! We are enjoying them!

Below some celluloid dollies I got from KitschandKawaii shop on IG. She had a box full of them and I was able to snag two!! Yay! This adorable Humpty Dumpty ceramic ornament, I found while searching felt ornaments. I love his retro look and style. A sweet cutie to decorate my dresser with!

Next, I preordered the new Ken Elephant roly poly dolls above and Sanrio cases below. They are new colors for the dolls above. I definitely wanted a blue one and also the green one, but it is not in the photo. The Sanrio case are similar to the Rune Naito ones, but in Sanrio characters instead. How cute! I have both sets available in my shop now!!

This adorable baby duck, I won with a Lot of 8 plushies and dolls. I fixed her up first and will work on the rest this week. Now, that she is done, I'm having a hard time letting her go. Oh boy! Haha! Just too cute for words and I'm not sure the brand, perhaps My Toy Co.?

Got another adorable pink telephone above, and it doubles as a coin bank too! Purchased from the amazing shop LepetitCherie on Etsy. Always love vintage finds by Alvina!! Be sure to check out her shop for awesome ceramics too!! Below, I found this lovely vintage Rushton Diaper baby as well, and she needed major cleaning. I didn't do too much and she still has her original stuffing, diaper, and bonnet. She will stay with me for a bit...

Last, some adorable tan girls, the large one above has already been adopted and is on its way to her new owner. She is definitely too cute and so big too! The ones below, I adopted for a fellow collector. The different styles that came from Japan are just too cute not to want them!! LOL

Well, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your February and happy hunting!!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Here's Johnny!

 ... a quote from the movie, "The Shining". I recently watched it with Sara last week Thursday. We've had many conversations about horror films and I've told her how my parents always enjoyed a good scary movie. I used to love Horror films, but since having Taby and Sara, I've pretty much steered clear of them. Only to find out later, Sara enjoys them as much as I did as a teen! LOL

Halloween has come and gone, so here's some adorable finds that came in...

I found a vintage doll dress that could somewhat fit my Alice doll. Here she is wearing the dress. I think it looks great on her, a bit snug, but now, she looks more like Alice, then the red dress she had on. I was also given these lovely ceramic bunny hangers from my sister in-law. She had them in her car and wasn't sure who left them while she was moving to her new place. So, she let me have them. They are ceramic bunny hangers or wall hooks. I believe they are 80s, and listed them in my shop. They sold in just a few hours too!

I finally, got these Country Cow sounders, made as joke gifts via my sister in WA. I bought them, but of course, they wouldn't ship to Guam, so I had my sister receive them and she mailed them out to me. I needed them to see if they would work out for my pink Daisy cow. When it arrived, I worked on her over the weekend and was able to replace her foam stuffing into synthetic stuffing and just put this Moo voice box inside. Now, she is just like my purple Daisy and makes the same or similar sounds! Yay! I'll upload a video with her completed and the sound from the voice box. I also adopted this lovely vintage rubber face, handmade by Fleamarque on IG. I love this type of clown face. Just too cute!

From Japan, I found this box of Kanebo pink yarn, still in its box with booklet. I have already added it to my shop. Lovely quality yarn too. Kanebo's mascot is the lovely posedoll you see on the front of the box. Love her, and I hope to find that doll too!! Next, I also got in the mail these lovely Rune Naito retro bag miniatures by Ken Elephant. They are only sold in Japan and haven't been offered outside of Japan as yet. I was able to snag a few and they are seriously too cute. Just like the anime girl bags of the 1960s, these bags, have a tiny mirror and handle. You can definitely use them as props with your favorite doll, like Licca, or Blythe! There are six styles to choose from!

Than, I found a lot of vintage baby bonnets, that I am hoping to use on a cutie I am awaiting to arrive. So more on them later. Next, this lovely Rushton reproduced and aged look advertisement. I added a satin bow to hang it up on my wall. I love it and hope that I can get more. I found this lovely sofubi or soft vinyl tan gal wearing a sailor fashion via Yahoo Japan. I have already listed her in my shop, so she is available too. Love her unique face and fashion!  A Ginny type party dress made by Shillman and mint in package. I added snaps to it and hope to put it on Betsy soon!

A cutie all the way from Australia! I was worried, because sadly, the US is not shipping to Australia, well at least USPS isn't ugh. But it's weird because they can't receive our mail, but yet, we are able to receive mail coming out of Australia. I do hope it changes and soon, I have many collector friends via Australia and I know a few who are waiting to get goods from us here in the US. Ugh. This adorable plush is also a squeak toy. I pressed his tummy and he squeaked. Which I didn't know, and it didn't say in the listing?! Haha, but that's okay, I love him and he's pink!!

Last, this lovely vintage plastic pastel telephone. I have been on the search for this for some time and to find one via an IG sale, was so cool and well awesome!! Generally, when I do see them they sell fast and I must admit I did a little happy dance when I found it was still available. It came with a red and yellow one, but Sara claimed it. Which was fine because I wanted this one mostly! Haha!

Well, I do hope your Halloween and All Souls Day was pleasant? Be safe and take care!

Life goes on...

 Some goodies I got after Labor Day... First, this lovely plaid bunny plush. I found this cutie on Etsy. Fell in love with his plaid coloring in blue. He has a tag with the "Made in Japan" marking on it. Wires in his ears, he has pink glass eyes, and red threaded nose. He is small, only about 5 inches tall. There was a pink plaid bunny, but, it was snatched up a few days after I purchased this cutie. He will be added to my little bunny collection.

I also found this lovely Educalux stackable baby/toddler toy from France. Made in France, I fell in love with the dolls face. A fellow collector, has the blonde version and I wanted to find out where her cute dolly came from. So, figuring out where it was from and finding this one was awesome! I love her tan skin tone and cute bob. You can remove her head, and the rings underneath. The lower half of her body is a tingaling sounder. She rings when you carry her or wobble her. Just adorable, she has already been added to my Etsy shop.

Next, I couldn't help but order another Amanitarium cutie! This time a pink bear. She is slightly larger then my first bear. This one has her eyes open. She is a big sister to my white bear. Just love Anna's work and I'll definitely be back for more!! I also ordered this lovely pink music box mini telephone. I have a yellow one, and was surprised the same seller had a pink one available. Sadly, it doesn't work unless I force the wind key to move. It is supposed to play the song, "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Still cute for display though!

Last, this lovely lot of Bunka posedoll, and wooden furniture toys from my dear friend Feeriqueshop on Etsy! She showcased this along with other cute items on IG. I couldn't help but snatch them up. They arrived to me safely and just look how adorable these items are... I love miniature wood doll furniture, but to also have the Bunka or tiny posedoll that comes with these vintage Japan doll toys, is even harder to get! They can be very expensive, because these dolls were made around the late 1950s, early 1960s. The wooden furniture are similar to dollhouse furniture. Perhaps about 1/12 scale. The dolls were little rag dolls, that you could pose on the furniture. This lot came with a closet, a stroller, and a dog house with dog.

The closet has one door that opens, but the drawers and other closet door, can't open. The swan stroller is lined with red velvet, and the little wooden dog can be removed from the dog house. The little posedoll below, is a somewhat a smaller version to a standard posedoll. She is without wires in her body to help her stay in position, and is quite delicate for her age. I love her painted face, she is just adorable to me. I can imagine the little girl from the 1950s, who owned her, and used to play with her along with the closet, and little wooden dog...

Thank you so much Feerique for allowing me to adopt her. I will treasure her. She is a welcome addition to my collection and just what I needed during this Lock Down. Which by the way was extended until September 11th.

Please stay safe and well my friends...

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Update: I also made another Fuzbear Squeak with Bird Sounder. Yup, I added both a squeak to her right ear and a Bird sounder inside her. So you can shake her and press on her ear to hear the sounds!!
