Goods from Abroad

I've been busy with some creative work as of late and it took up a lot of time and attention. So, after trying to take a bit of a break, here's what I received in the mail this past week!

While doing some searches two weeks ago via ebay, I found this lovely vintage Cortendorf Girl Wall Pocket! Made in West Germany, she was one of my ISOs. I couldn't believe it when I saw the listing... She arrived from the West Coast.

 She is in practically mint condition for her age. Sadly, no sticker, but still lovely. I can't wait to put her up on my wall. She has the number, "3470" carved at the back, two areas to mount her, securely. If you look at her eyes, she is made similarly to Aral Rubber dolls, also my Tadie Muz Clone dolls, etc.

 I've always wanted one. Now, to find more, perhaps?! Haha.

I also found and won this Lot of vintage goodies from Japan.

Vintage posedoll kit, several pcs. of celluloid chopstick cases, fabric decals or perhaps stickers.

 This lovely vintage posedoll craft kit, is mint and complete. I will add it to my shop soon.

 These very colorful celluloid chopstick cases will also be added to the shop. There are four of one style, and five of the other.

 The decals are so cool, some characters are amazing. I will open them, as there are several in each packet, and possibly do a set of each to be added to my shop also.

 This cool Popeye decals, Doremon too.

 There are felt decals and cute appliques too!

 My faves, are these lovely anime retro girl decals!

 There are two in each. I will sell one set and keep one. Very retro too!

I've also added these adorable products on POAM! So, be sure to check em' out!

Another Kitty Figurine Find!

Today, I wanted to share with you a ceramic kitty find via instagram, that was awesome!

While doing my usual browsing, I came across a vintage clothing seller that had some cute ceramic cats for sale. I immediately wrote her to ask for a tag, if she should sell. But, didn't hear from her for a few days. When she did write me, she shared that her ceramic kitties were still available. Of course, I jumped at the chance to buy them and I'm so glad I did.

 They arrived to me in this lovely retro wrapped box. Awe, just amazing. I love the vintage feel and care, Freakshow Vintage, took to send this to me. Thank you dear!

 The figurines were in need of extra cleaning. Some dark caked on dust on them and the taller kitty was missing his gold tone chain. The bonus was finding the original sticker still on one of them. They are slightly taller than my other cuties, but these are not shakers like my pink ones.

 These eye lash kitties are on many of my fellow collectors wish lists, including mine.

 The pearlize coloring just makes them all the more adorable. The two sets I own in my collection.

 The girls and I tried some of the retro whistle candies in strawberry and grape. They are very much like those long koolaid sticks you'd buy at the store. Very sweet. Eek! But, they do come with little plastic toys too. A spinning top and a swamp thingy figure. Interesting. LOL

I also came up with an idea for a new design on my t-shirts via Society6 and on POAM.

 On Society6, you can order this lovely ggsdolls Lapin/Bunny face design by me! In pastel colors of pink, blue, yellow, and white for $24.99. Link here! They are offering Free shipping too!

On POAM, you could order this white T-Shirt with a larger design of ggsdolls Lapin/Bunny Face by me for $38.00. Link here! I will admit, this is a bit more expensive, but the feel of the cotton is very nice.

So, be sure to check em' out, and thank you so much for any purchase!

Fun Photo Shoot with Nana and More!

I decided since I wasn't going to do an actual photo shoot at our family beach, I would create a beach scene indoors for Nana...

 It was fun to try!

 I think though, that using Lumyer to create these cute mini moving videos of the shots are way better! Don't you?

I had a friend order this lovely retro made cat head plush from Asoubouya website. It's small, but still cute. Love the closed eyes and eye lashes too!

I don't own a green one, so he is a cute addition!

Then, via Yahoo Japan, I found the complete set of four "The Bear School" capsule set! Yay! It arrived to me Friday. I quickly opened, and put them all together!

Remember I said, I wanted the girl, got her along with the boy bear and the two little ones! Yippee!

They are just adorable...

Using messenger stickers to dress up the photos! It's fun! My new faves the cute orange and yellow bear, they remind me of Tweedledee and Tweedledum in, "Alice in Wonderland".

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

IG Find Arrives!

It's been a busy week, and my daughter Sara had a project that was due, along with other things popping up. So, here's a find, that did make it in today, from instagram...

 A fellow collector friend, was selling a few vintage ceramic cuties, and I was able to snag this one. She is quite unique. I love closed eyes cuties too. This one is wearing her original pink pearl chain necklace and a gold ribbon was tied to her tail. Not sure if that is original. She stands about 7 inches tall, and looks like she is supposed to have a partner, perhaps?

 No markings underneath. She is quite lovely too, there is some crazing. Thanks to Jessica of "The Vintage Unicorn" who taught me what crazing meant. LOL

 An adorable addition to my ceramic kitty collection.

While Sara, Taby, and I, helped her work on her project, we decided to try out the Fujiya flavored candy hearts, in strawberry and grape. These are from our trip, purchased at the Daiso shop.

 My latest fortune from Panda Express, when we ate lunch at the Mall. I had to pick up something for my sister, and send it to her, stateside. Hmmm, I wonder what this small gift is?! A friend via IG said, "A new vintage item, Yay!" Haha. Probably true dear!

I hope you all are having a wonderful week?

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Amazing Retro Girl Find!!

Here is an amazing find that I received the other day...

 If you collect Ayumi Uyama retro girl things, then you will know this piece right off! Basically, Ayumi Uyama is famous for showcasing her lovely Pose dolls and vintage retro girl items. This particular, baby grand piano is one of the retro girly pieces she had recreated by Takara in miniature. As shown above. I've always loved this piece and never thought, one would come up for auction via Yahoo Japan! But, it did! Whoa!

 Lovely, big eye white poodle stickers on the top, with colorful keys. It is in good to great condition for its age and still works too.

 The previous owner re-glued the feet. Probably not original to it. But, still lovely.

Now, to decide if it will stay in my collection or not. It's big and one day when I have a room to display all my girly items and dolls in, I would love this showcased in there!

Hey, Happy October! Here is a short trailer I created, Enjoy! ~ ggsdolls
