Vintage Nakajima S. Dream Mansion is For Sale, etc.!!

I am sharing that, Sara wants to sell her vintage Nakajima Seisakusho Dream Mansion, shown here in the post... All is in working order and complete. I've already listed it here in my shop!


I was able to find a pink frame to hold my retro Swimmer glasses wipe cloth. So cute!

This cutie also arrived today! A vintage squeak toy in white.
 It needs some repainting...
 But still a cutie like it's twin!
I always find the small versions, not the large ones LOL!

I've also been having fun with Shiseido Japan's latest craze using art and makeup!! I first saw the creation through an Instagram post on a friend's upload. It's lots of fun, and I love the end designs... If you'd like to try it out, the link on the right side of my menu page! Have fun! I did...

Fun with Sootsprites Outside and Stickymonger Pin!

I did a little photo shoot of the soot sprite brooches I got...




Then, just a quick shot of my phone case again... LOL
 I then realized, I didn't take a full shot of the phone case. Ha.

Also, my new enamel pin by Sticky Monger/ Joohee Park came in the mail!
 She even added a little drawing for me on the backside of the envelope, how sweet! I fell in love with her Cosmic Girl, The First 2015, just earlier this month, while searching thru IG!!
 Her art reminds me of the vintage or classic style of anime works like Makoto T. or even Chikako Urano's work. Stickymonger shared a pic of her pins that were available. I emailed her and purchased one. She even added a very cute badge pin too!
 Thank you sweet Joohee! I love my pin. She is such a dreamy, galaxy-eyed cosmic girl!

Amazing Kawaii Goodies!!

Oh my goodness... I am dying of all the cuteness here folks!! LOL
I was able to have my dear friend in Japan, to order some goodies for me and here they are!!

 First, I got July 2016 PINClub pin in the mail also! A pair of Azone International 50cm brown sandals for Yui, a pink Swimmer Swan container and glass cloth wipe, all three Soot sprite brooches and lastly, a deer cell phone case with retro deer print!

I ordered this kawaii retro Ayumi Uyama deer cell phone case from an online website. Oh my goodness how cute is this?!
 Featuring the retro vintage fabric design of the 1960s. I have two retro deer types on front and back side.
 The quality of the case is amazing. Inside, you can put credit cards, there's a mirror, and the part that was different is that you are suppose to stick your phone onto this section flap. I did not like that part...
 I didn't want my cell phone there permanently. So, since my old case, was well loved, I figured I could take out the plastic holder and place it on top of this sticker thing. It worked. I will show a pic of it later.

July's PINCLUB pin, a cute dinosaur with shades. LOL. Pink too!

I ordered another pink swan container from Swimmer. I will either have it for sale at Epixcon, or on my For Sale page here later...

 Then, also this cute glass wipe cloth of a retro elephant! Just love the packaging and the cloth itself. So adorable for sure!

 Last, a friend from Japan, via IG also had this very same cute soot sprite brooch holding a yellow Konpieto. So, I did some searching and found a website that sells them! Yay! I had my friend order all three colors!
 Very simple packaging, but these little guys are so cute! I can't wait to wear it to Epixcon!


 So many adorable things in today... I'm feeling very blessed. Thank you to my dear sweet followers(you all), friends, and family for just reading my blog, reading about my many finds and just the support and love you all have for collecting. <3 br="">

much love, ggsdolls

Fixed the Vintage Dolly Closet, Etc...

After receiving the dolly closet, I immediately started working on it. Luckily, I had most of what I needed to do the work. Whew!
 Above, before photo. You can see the drawer loose within the closet...
 I started, with the drawer guides and glued them in place, as they came apart during shipment. While that dried in place, I had to figure out what I could use for the missing door handle. I had some thick thumb tacks, I could use. I didn't have red, but I had a yellow one. I place a piece of cut toothpick into the hole and then pushed the tack in. Maybe if I find a red one, I will change it out. Not permanent, but, will do for now.


I then, started working on the drawer itself. Sadly, it was missing the front piece. Luckily, I had leftover panels from the walls for my Rooms in Miniature. I was able to have my husband help me to cut the proper size for the front panel. I took out my spray paint in dark blue and painted it. Allowing it to dry was time consuming, but it gave me time to work on the whole closet. I saw two areas that had loose wood panels and I just went around an added wood glue to those areas.

 After, the paint mostly dried, I then, glued it onto the drawer and had to wait at least 24hrs for the wood glue to set.
 The next morning all pieces were set and ready to put into place... Finished job above. It turned out nicely too...

 I also forgot to show these cute items. A cat pen, and tiny capsules with kawaii faces I scored from etsy. Inside, is a rolled up piece of paper, you can write tiny messages.
 I'm a sucker for cute things... LOL.

I was able to snag this cute white Rune Naito ceramic vintage devil or unicorn? money bank from the same online shop I often check out. I will add him to the shop.

Very cute. I love Rune Naito closed eye figures.

Thanks for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Today's Mail Goodies...

Here's what came in Today's mail!

 First, I got a Lot of 20 vintage children's records in Japanese all 45s rpm! All will be added to the shop. Some have scratches, but most of them don't. Still an amazing piece of Japanese anime or TV history.
Astro Boy.



Ultraman above and below.
Backside has Godzilla.

Masked Rider.
Cyborg 009.

Nobody's Boy Remi.
Aim for the Ace, Moomin,

Galaxy Express 999.
Moomin, Mahou no Mako chan, Sally the Witch.

Captain Tsubasa?
I have two sets that will sell together, because they are of the same characters.

Then, I also was able to buy these tan cuties in an online shop. I will also add them to my shop too!
 A large tan doll above at 10 inches tall. Below, a cute tan girl with shorts, top and white shoes. She is about 8 inches tall.
 Dark tan and unique Poppo-chan nude about 5 inches.
 This popular tan blonde gal also 5 inches.

I was able to get this cute vintage Japan Wooden Doll closet and dolly head board and foot board. A fixer upper too.
 The closet is missing a door knob. But, I just fell in love with the cute retro graphics on the front of the door and the narrow mirror.
 So cute, the company's emblem of a sweet duck.
 Inside, the drawer was loose and so were the wood notches to keep it in place. Sadly, even the front of the drawer was missing. I will have to find parts to fix it up...
 My fave about the headboard above, cute retro duck art and butterfly. Missing most of the bed, it matches the doll closet though! LOL

Last, I won this Swimmer Japan duck towel. So cute and retro. I will decide for sure if I will keep it or add it to the shop?
