In The Mail...

I recently received some cute goodies in the mail...

From Hobby Search, I discovered the release of Pure Neemo S cute fashions by MAKI. There are cute pastel colors and adorable animal decals on the blouses and totes. I was only able to snag these three items. Since the others were sold out. But, then they had a restock and I was able to get a few more items I wanted, I hope. I'm waiting for Hobby's confirmation email. Haha.

 I accidentally ordered two of the yellow kitty tops, a purple unicorn, and pink bunny totes. How adorable are these fashions!! Any takers for the yellow top, $15 plus shipping. Just email me!

 For the totes on the back side it says, "Cute". There is a cat tote too like the blouse. I hope to get the unicorn and bunny top.

 Here's Cherry Chan wearing the top and holding the tote. There are pastel colored frilly skirts, but most were sold out too. Darn.

 Still Cherry chan is just adorable in her new fashion!

 Then, I also got these kitsch baskets with roses from Japan. The lot included a red, yellow, blue, green and pink baskets.

 I've seen a few of these displayed in many Japan collectors decor. Soo very kitsch. I will probably keep a few and sell the rest.

Please check out my shop soon, because I am letting go a few rare cuties! Have a Lovely week!!

Bendable Dolls from Germany!

I recently came across and auction via ebay from Germany of a 1970s bendable doll. I've seen another collectors doll, but wearing a different fashion.

This doll was listed as a DDR Mod Doll from the 60s. She is about 14 inches/ 36cm tall.

 She arrived with cake on dust, and needing some TLC. First, I took off her fashion which is a crochet top with pants, top held with a lady bug brooch. Probably not original to the outfit. I washed her hair and used Simple Green to take off most of the gunk on her face. Then, I quickly washed the face with soap, to make sure there was no cleaner residue. It definitely helped with the caked on dust and dirt.

 Here she is before/after. I had some buttons sewn on, which are vintage doll buttons and then added thick thread to lock buttons down. Her hair is very soft, shiny, and pliable. I've never felt synthetic doll hair feel so soft. Perhaps, human hair?  I took a photo of her body makeup. Her head is made of soft vinyl, but her body, hands, and feet are ceramic. Limbs are made of cotton, stuffed and have wire inside to allow easy bending and movement.

 Here she is after clean up.

 I touched up the paint on the ceramic parts of her body and her shoes. Sadly, she was damaged on her ankle and re-glued by previous owner. Still, she looks amazing. I have seen this type of bendable doll twice before.

This was my first bendable doll from Germany. Here's what she looked like before. Then, I changed her eyes and added eyelashes. I re-did her arms, since her original bendable arms and hands were like chicken feet.

 She is quite different from the other bendable doll, this doll has a ceramic head and upper torso, with wire arms and legs. Her feet are felt, and her pants are sewn onto her, and tied at the waist. As you can see from the body photo. Her hair is probably mohair and styled like a Bouffant. She is probably an earlier bendable doll, about 1960s.

 These dolls were usually played with Bodo Hennig dollhouse furniture, because these furniture pieces were a nice size for 1/6 scale dolls.

 Here is a post card I found via ebay Germany, that showcases a similar bendable doll, as my first one.

Lovely mod blouse or top, long slender legs, with the same felt shoes or feet. I will put both dolls up for sale via my Etsy shop. Be on the look out for posts via instagram for sale notices.

Maimai Outside!

I decided to keep two of those cute snail girls, from my last post, here. Maimai is her name. I had a good response to her via IG and sold out the rest. I hope to try to get more in.

So, outside I went to take some photo shots of this awkwardly cute snail girl!

 Maimai in the second photo, had a random red ant crawling on her. I posted it via instagram and had a comment by a friend that said, the red ant was checking her out! Too funny!

 I did a 2nd photo shoot outside just this morning...

She's quite unique and fun to photograph too! Haha.

On Monday, I received this lovely vintage ceramic planter of a giraffe and baby. Similar to my swan and baby planter.

 By Napco, this planter is made in Japan around 1960s. Marked, 9957.

 Side by side are the two planters. Just adorable. I may decide to sell both soon.

 Who can resist that adorable baby face!

I hope to have the Maimai gatchas in early next week. So, stay tuned to instagram for them to be posted for sale!

Have a beautiful week dear fellow collectors!!

Thanks for reading! ~ ggsdolls

 Last, not for sale, is this lovely small Rosarium. I've seen a few collectors rosariums via IG. So many cute ones. But, this small one came up for grabs back in February! Yup, that long ago. I was able to find a friend in Australia to get it for me.

 It finally arrived Friday, whew! I want at least one for my collection. I don't think I could collect others. I would worry too much of the glass shattering and water every where. LOL, but that's me. Ha.

 My dear friend even sent me some goodies. Thank you Josephine!! Much love dear!
