New Items Arrive from Japan!

A small box arrived today with more goodies to add to the Japanese Plastic Dollhouse again!!LOL! As I said in my last post I was searching for tinier things to place into this 1/30 scale dollhouse...
 Here's what I found...Konami MMS Pomock action figure, cheap! Wanda Frog jeans set of two, a lot of glico brooches and pins. Asian Rement set, Glico Retro table with accessories, and Hot Springs set of two for the house. Also, Tiny anime girl gashapons!!
 I've been hunting down some cheap Takara Hot Springs miniatures. So far, I got 3 sets that I added to the house, one already in it and these two above. Below, I also got the Asian Rement room, just to see if they'd be a good size in the house as well?!
 Sadly, the chair and lamp were too big, but the elephant and planter worked out well!! Some pieces not shown.
 Wanda jeans...wanted to see if they'd fit my Aram girls...Sadly, they don't-_-; Oh well...
 This Glico retro table set, was a good find, and fit a lot better than the other table! I've added a few things from this set to the house, but not all of it!
 This lot of glico brooches and pins will be added to my shop later on...I really wanted the mermaid pendant!!
 Madoka Magica cup gashapon toy lot! I actually got six, but my daughters each wanted one!! The three above are the one's I really wanted! They are a bit larger than Mirai, but might be great in other scenes or as they were meant to be playing on your cup of tea!!
 This poor brooch above, sadly, needs some fixing...But she is such a cute anime girl though...
 OMG, this cute anime mermaid above, by glico. I just love anime mermaids best!! Then, below more spammage of my plastic dollhouse with the hot springs miniatures in it...

Updates on my Vintage Japan Plastic Dollhouse...

Today's mail was much anticipated!! I have been on the hunt for a few things online these days...
 Above, thru ebay, I found some plastic trees really cheap, to place into my Plastic Japanese dollhouse! I just have to share with you what I've done with the house so far...
 Above, we have someone in the shower!! I decided to redo the house and this time I made the house wider and took up most of the floor plan... Now, there's a garden area on the center of the house!!
 Above and below, the garden area. I built the house around it! I won't be using the roof panels and instead just some colored paper for now... It helps make it easier for me to rearrange furniture and place more plants inside.

Here, I just placed some lovely palm trees, small and large, on the entrance way of the house... and Below, is another view!


 From the living room, you can see a bit of the gardens, and an umbrella...
 From this window you can see a door, which leads to the main entrance of the house. On the left side, is a door to the kitchen and dining area. The center garden is looking nice from these angles!
 Below, a peek from the bedroom area into the gardens. The small palms are a lovely addition just off of the sliding doors...

 Just another look at the garden area from above! More things to add later on...

It feels a lot like Christmas!!

Over the weekend and on Monday, "Veteran's Day", some things I found or arrived that definitely tells me Christmas is just around the corner!! I received on Saturday, two lovely vintage Japan Christmas ornaments!
 Above, from ebay. I got this cute squirrel ornament, not realizing, I had already gotten him...sheeesh! Oh well, and below thru etsy, I found an ornament, that is still MIP!! Whoa, yup another cute bear! He will be a great addition to my growing vintage Christmas ornament collection! I can't wait to put them up this year!!
 Below, a closer shot of his tag, with price too! If only, things were that cheap still!! LOL!
 He is nice and mint!
 Then, on Monday, I took my husband to his physical therapy and while he was at the clinic, I did a quick run to Tokyo Mart and found this below!! mmmmmm....
 Yup, Nestle's Aero Mint Chocolate mini's! Yummy!
 I've always loved Japan-made Nestle's chocolates and to have them in mint flavor too!! Ohhhh Yes!!
So light and fluffy, like a cloud of minty heaven!! You have to try them if you do find em'!!

A 60's Child's Dress, and Picco Cute Lien Arrived!!

 I bought this cute Japan-made 1960s style dress, because of the ruffles, etc. I was going to sell it thru my shop, if I decided to let it go?! But, when Sara saw it, she wanted it! I could not resist letting her have it!! Above, older photo, below second photo shoot!

 She got dressed up and wore her white stockings and maryjanes...ahhh, those were the days! I am glad to see this little one likes the oldies, but goodies!!LOL

Then, I also pre-ordered the newly released Lien by Azone. She is such a small doll! About 1/12 scale! A part of the EX Cute series!

 She seems a bit stiff, but I love her outfit and shoes! Her hair is so soft to touch and her skirt is just too cute for words!!
She is a great addition to my small collection! I hope to have more adventures with her soon!

Vintage Anime Find Inside my Container!!

OMG, its been some time since going thru my containers in the closet and I found this piece of anime art and didn't think it was what I had originally thought I bought!!? LOL!
 I bought this I think back in 2005, thru Yahoo Japan?! But, thought I had gotten a plastic or vinyl table cover with the artwork from the 1981 film Toei Animation movie, "Swanlake"! But it was actually, a large handkerchief or place mat!
 As seen above a cloth table cover for your bento lunch!
 I definitely loved it for its' anime art work and for the love of the movie as well. As a pre-teen when I first saw the anime movie, I watched it over and over. I was in love with the way Odette the main character was drawn. I've always wanted to try to get her crown and find a doll that looked just like her!!
 It was kept in its plastic packaging for so long, and still it held its lovely coloring and looks so new. I will definitely keep this and maybe frame it or use it to keep a cute dolly safe!

Above, the original Toei Animation sticker tag. A lovely piece of animation history...hmmm! Now, to find a crown similar and a doll!!LOL!

Some Rement Goodies, Etc., from Japan!

I received a small box today and just couldn't wait to try out the goodies that came in!!

 Above, I won thru Yahoo Japan some small items...like a vintage Minna Nouchi plant set 1/12 scale. Hot Springs shoe cabinet set, Sapporo bathing lady, Attack No. 1 Figure, and Rement oranges set with basket!
 The 1/12 scale plants are a great addition. You can also put it together yourself. Sadly, the clay to place into the pots had hardened...but, no prob!
 Below, Attack No. 1 a vintage shoujo anime manga about volleyball. I got the boy figure thinking he might be a nice scale for the plastic dollhouse, but sadly, he was a bit too large for it-_-; I may add him to the shop!?
 I love his traditional school uniform!
 Below, by Takara "Hot Springs" collection. I found this set and wanted to see if it would work in the Plastic dollhouse and sure enough it is a lovely fit! So cute and tiny too!
 It comes with 3 shoes, an umbrella, soap, and scrubber. Just look at those super tiny Zori's!!

 Above, I just had to add them to the entrance of the house and below, in the main room. Some tiny people live there!
 The shoe cabinet was a nice touch in the entrance way...
 Then, I also got this cute bathing lady. My first thought was to add her into the bathroom of the Plastic dollhouse...but her base is rocks...hmmm?! I will have to figure that out later on...
 She has a pretty face and body. So tiny too! I need to find more period Japan furnishings etc. for this dollhouse! Notice the scrubber I placed into the bucket below!! LOL
