Mail Day!

Here's what came in this weekend... many items added to my shop too!

Since getting the cute teeny tiny pose doll, I decided to find a few more... I found these set of 3 vintage Japan crochet dolls. They are small enough, I believe for the tiny carriage? Hopefully. More on them later.

 I found them through an etsy shop. Their face paint are very similar Bunka dolls. Cute for sure!

I found another cute underlay and this one will be added to my shop. So be on the look out!

May 2016 PINCLUB pin is here! Quite unique I must say...Ha!

A lot of Bento tins below. All will be added to my shop!

 The Lot will come with the bottle openers below!

My fave, a set of cute tea cups with Rune Naito art. I will keep two, and one will be added to the shop!

 So cute! I've been wanting a few since seeing them in one of Ayumi Uyama's books!

Cute pie Chi-chan and the tiny carriage!

 She's perfect with the tiny Bunka and carriage!

Chichan New Old Body!

I haven't collected Takara Chi-chan dolls for some time... I do own one other given to me from a dear friend. Then, a few years ago, I saw a flickr friends photo of her lovely Chi-chan head on a Tutti doll body. So, I told myself, I would do that if I ever found a Chi-chan needing a new bod.

Recently, I did and was able to get a donor Tutti body via ebay. She arrived to me today. I will keep the original head, just in case...

 Sacrificial Tutti above and below, Chi-chan on a Tutti body. She is wearing a Remco Heidi doll top and Tutti bottoms, I believe.

 I tied her her in pigtails, added some flower hair ties, and I think she looks better in the sailor outfit below, by Knickerbocker's Annie Doll...

 Shoes by Kukuclara.

 I hope to take more photos of her with my other Chi-chan gal...

Mother's Day...

It was an amazing Mother's Day weekend! I received some cuties Saturday that I just have to share with you!

I was able to snag this vintage ceramic cat set via an online Japan shop! Now, I finally own one of these cuties. Someday, I will get a bunny version!

 Often seen owned by many of my collector friends via IG! They are so cute. A lovely addition to my small ceramic collection...

 Then, I also found this amazing Baby Bunka doll and carriage through Yahoo Japan. 

 The baby doll and carriage look too minty to be vintage? So, it may have been recently made? I went back to the listing, and it says it was made by "Rattlings". Made with pipe cleaners and the face is cloth material.

 The carriage is too cute and also come with a pose dolly print futon inside. I have been wanting to get myself one of these tiny cuties for the longest time... Sadly, they go for really high prices, and now that I've seen it in person, they are so worth it!

It is so small and adorable! I can't wait to use it in a miniature dolly scene... more soon!

 My Mother's Day gift, a fruit bouquet! Yum!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

The Little Mermaid Model Kit Bandai

I received my pre-ordered. Little Mermaid Castle Craft Kit by Bandai. Released this year, it is quite easy and lots of fun to put together!

 The box above, with illustrations.

 Below, inside, parts and instructions...

 Assembly begins...

 The instructions are very easy to follow, along with the illustrations it gives to complete each step.

 The first tower above is completed...

 As long as you follow the instructions carefully, then you won't be confused.

 Each tower was so intricate, and so much fun to see come together!

The completed Castle below. Though I must admit the entrance and garden was somewhat hard to put together...

 The kit even comes with a tiny clear red Ariel character figure to display with the castle. Do you see her behind the gates?

 

 The entrance to the castle below... through the seaweed garden...

 A closer look at Ariel below.

 Another mermaid visits the castle...

The castle will be fun to use in some photo scenes. The castle lights up, but sadly it doesn't come with the LED lights. Sold separately. A lovely addition to my miniatures collection.
