Smiley is here!!

Today, an adorable unique plush kitty arrived all the way from Illinois!! Thank you dear Holly, he arrived safely to me and I just love him!! While doing my usual searches on Ebay, this cutie, was listed and with a "Buy it Now" price. I was a bit shocked, because he was minty and even had his tags, wait, no buyer?! Whaaaaat?! I looked at my funds, and made my move to adopt him. He arrived rather quickly to, Yay!

1950s vintage Ideal Smiley cat with his mouse friend. Now, if you read the Ad it gives a bit more information about him, and back then he was $7.99!! Yup a musical cat, and he still works!! He plays, "Brahms Lullaby". He just need a bit of a wipe down, and his ribbon and tags are nice and minty. After wiping his face and the mouse carefully, they turned out nicely. I even brushed his fur, just to fluff him up a bit. I looked around for his key to turn so he plays, but instead its the mouse you wind and then the music plays! Cool! I would have known that earlier if I had read the ad I found. Haha. Holly even sent along a cute retro postcard with catalog ad! So kitschy cute! The ad shown above, I just happened, to save, because of another plush that I had sold, when I was looking up research info. on him. I'm glad I saved this ad.

I made a third jar with cute animal stickers. The cat with the bow is my latest creation. I love these little glass canisters and they look sweet holding all my fake candy cabs...

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Kitsch Finds For the Week! Part Two

Today, I received the rest of the Lot of 35 items I bought. This box wasn't as heavy as the first, and many of the cute anime items were in this box! Here's Part Two of what came in...

In this box, was two boxes of cute retro girl pencils, two min in box toy jewelry sets for girls, two pencil cases, one bag, one coin purse, and two sets of pendant necklaces.

 First, this mint in box set of toy jewelry, which includes a flower headband, toy watch, hair clip, pink faux pearl necklace, pendant brooch, brush, and earrings. The cute pink purse also includes a compact, pink faux pearl necklace, flower hair clip, and comb.

 Next, two lovely pendant necklaces with cute retro girls also still mint in package, and vintage tin guitar or is it a children Ukelele? In lovely condition and I especially love the art work on it. Then, a few loose backpack tags, according to the illustrations on the card. Which I thought were rubber bands for your hair. Lovely umbrella, apples, and star. Sadly, they look to have 2 in pairs except for the star one...

 Mint in package hair clips in colorful bows, and one in leaves. I may sell it as a whole card set or individually? If you are interested in this set as a card, just convo me on Etsy and let me know. Then, still packaged, two sets of hair clips, and one set of lady bug rubber bands.

 This lovely "My Sister" pencil case, in nice condition. A lovely heart shaped coin purse with cute Holly Hobbie type artwork on it, along with this tote purse too. The girl reminds me of Madamoiselle Gege. Next, a patchwork style pencil case, in good condition too. Two boxes of pencils, both HB by Kita-Boshi with anime girl art, not sure the anime characters, but one reminds me of Sally the witch. 12 pieces of pencils in each box. Last, a cute anime girl clipboard for your little artist or helper. All of these items will be added to my shop by Thursday morning, Guam time. So, be looking out for the listings in my Etsy shop!!

 I got myself a copy of Mark Nixon's "Much Loved" book, based on owners well loved teddies. Poor teddies, but I enjoyed reading each of their stories and how most of their original owners still had them! Quite an interesting book. Then, via Etsy I found this lovely set of paper cards, which have sayings on them in English and Chinese I believe. I love the ceramics figurines on each of them and one with Kewpies!! I have seen many of the figurines featured with the exception of one. This will be a part of my collection.

I did a mailrun to drop boxes at Tamuning PO for my customers, and made a quick stop by Parisco for this yummy "Red Velvet" crepe cake. That I saw them feature on their Instagram. I decided to stop by Bear Rock and try it out. Yummmm! It was very light, fluffy and delish! A nice treat after doing work! Be sure to look out for the listings via my Etsy shop tomorrow!

 Have a blessed day! ~ ggsdolls

Kitsch Finds For the Week! Part One

I recently bough a Lot of 35 pcs. in which the seller labeled as Rune Naito items. I got half the items today, and the other box hopefully tomorrow or so. Most of the items will be added to my Etsy shop. So, here's what came in...

 18pcs of the 35 are shown above, two cups with the character Peko-Chan, two jewelry boxes, four slippers for kids, five coin banks, and four figurines. First, this lovely ARI Bunny coin bank. He will be added to my Etsy shop. Another ARI brand Girl figurine. Both have their original stickers still on them. I've already cleaned up all the banks and figurines.

 This cute girl coin bank standing by a sign, probably 1970s, and similar to the ARI brand of coin banks. Peko-Chan mug or cup set, I will also add to my Etsy shop along with this coin bank. Next, this adorable white small figurine of a puppy holding a strawberry. He has a metal loop on top of his head, to chain him to his partner or maybe a mother dog? Not sure, he just small and cute too. He has the sticker at the base, and the words, "PUTI".  I may keep him...

 First, this jewelry music box in purple, sadly, it doesn't work, but I'm sure can be fixed, perhaps? Lovely 1970s style art on the top, and sticker on the side of the box. It is also missing its key, to wind up the music it plays. It says, Ladymate Robin, made in Japan. Also, "Rose Misa". Then, this lovely "Akira" girl figurine, which reminds me of Rune Naito's style of art. She is tall and slender and I've seen her a few times. I love her face and slender look. She will be a part of my collection.

 These two cute Panda figurines by Rune Naito will be added to my shop. They both needed a bit of repainting, and will come as a pair. One still has his original sticker on him. Then, this Trojan style horse coin bank. Quite unique I must say, he will also be added to my Etsy shop...

 This cute kitty holding a red heart, coin bank still has its original rubber stopper. I may add a ribbon to his collar. Next, this lovely yellow, Ladymate jewelry box, it does play, but the mechanism to help it stop when you close the lid, needs a bit of work. It also needs some cleaning. The artwork on it reminds me of Ado Mizumori. Last, the kids slippers still mint in package, just need cleaning and is unused. I see anime art and Ado Mizumori style art on them. I will list all the slippers in my Etsy shop.

I took my lovely mermaid perfume bottle to the beach for a few pics...
Have a wonderful week everyone!

 Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
