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

Inside the Japan Plastic Dollhouse, etc.

Over the weekend I had a chance to rearrange and fix the 1/30 scale dollhouse. Instead I made it a one story and left the roof off for the time being as I decorated the inside. I also received some rement to use inside the dollhouse!

 The rement I used is a bit smaller than 1/12 scale. It was a bit large for the house, but still worked nicely for some of the pieces!

 Now, the house looks more like a Japanese period home, then before. I did, however, leave some of the more modern pieces, til' I can find something more suitable later on...?

 The kitchen area with fridge. The furniture in here is also made in Japan!

 The Dining area below. I used Petite Princess coffee table and more of the made in Japan cabinets.

 Rement dresser and stool below...

 Then, I also received in the mail this cute dolly head from etsy! It's somewhat large, might need a large dolly body...It was cheap and I just had to get one since it was quite unique!

Thru ebay, I won this lovely Froebel Kan Co. Ltd. book below, really cheap too! I just had to get it, because it showcases some cute made in Japan dolls and toys I've seen thru Yahoo Japan!!

 Spam pics of the board book below...

Finally, I got this from ebay as well, a Holly Hobbie fashion for Makochan to try!!? We'll see if she fits it!

Vintage Instant Dollhouse by Winthrop!

I came across a post by a friend's blog here, about a pop-up instant dollhouse! I fell in love with her dollhouse and the graphics on it. Mostly, because I was looking for background scenes to showcase some of my dollhouse furnishings I found thru Yahoo Japan. So far, this was one of the best houses with vintage style graphics. Sadly, I was not able to acquire the same instant dollhouse she had, but instead found the 4" dollhouse version and super cheap too via ebay!

 Above, the box for the Instant Play House. This version was made for 4" size dolls, like liddle kiddles, Pee-Wees, Trolls, Itsy-Bitsy dolls, etc. That makes sense since the graphics are more so child-like or for a child's room...

 The playhouse can easily folds and be stored away. Inside, there are 5 pieces of instant furniture! A tv, stove with sink, fridge, daybed, and chair.

 The back side of the house below, when opened.

 On the other side is a child's bedroom, playroom? You can place the daybed, TV, and chair in this room.

 another look at the same room...

 Below, similar to my friend's dollhouse, this house also has a kitchen, with the same style stove, sink, and fridge.

 Below, is the other room across from the kitchen. An ice cream bar and playroom. Definitely, made for smaller dolls and fun for baby-like dolls as well. Still lovely graphics in this house, but I decided to give it to Sara. I know she would enjoy this house more than I would.

Now, I can only hope to find the other?! LOL!
