Latest Sailormoon Capsule Toys!

I received the newly released Bandai Sailormoon series capsule toy set, "Antique Jewelry Cases". There are six in the set. I was so thrilled to see the pre-release via one of the gatcha toys I got from my Narita trip. I waited and sure enough, an announcement for this particular set was said to be released in October!

I was able to order them, and I'm so glad I did too!

 There are three in pink and three in blue, two styles of each, with each case having a different design.

 First, the smaller flat jewelry cases. One in a star, and one in a crescent moon. Both are lovely, but not necessarily my faves. They are small, so they could probably hold rings, and other small trinkets.

 One of my fave style, are these bottle looking ones. I like the design, they remind me of vintage perfume bottles. They are quite small, so you could probably only put a small ring or necklace with a small pendant inside.

One has a heart shape with ruby diamond and the other in a crescent moon with white diamond. I'm sure there are names for each case, but I will have to look up the translation on them later. Hehe.

My second fave of the sets, are these jeweled lids. Nice large ruby jewel and diamond jeweled cases.

You can hold larger items inside these better.

What do you think about these Sailormoon antique jewelry cases?

 I also got this in the mail. I found this vintage art print of a girl and her dog, by Lotte. As the seller mentioned via etsy. I fell in love with the art, because she somewhat reminded me of Gigi my Goebel doll, don't you think so?!

 Gigi at the condo last weekend. I forgot to share this photo of her. She was with me for our little staycation. Her face does look like the Lotte art print above...

 Neat game through instagram, I tried it and got Sailormoon! Yay! Just search for the IG name at the top to try this game.

I hope you are having a great week, where ever you may be!

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!

Thank you for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls

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
