Takara Licca chan new gen
I love researching about traditional clothes of various countries. One of my favorites is the Japanese traditional Kimono. For my rescued Takara Licca doll (she came with a very damaged hair, so I have to cut her hair and make her a bun), I just altered a free kimono dress I got from the second-hand shop to make her an outfit. I always make use of everything in my stash even doll clothes that are damaged (this were usually given as freebie from the shops) to give them second life. I added the fur, handsewn the bag, and hair accessories. I was aiming for the coming-of-age traditional look for girls. I know Licca chan is not 20 years old, but I don't have any Jenny or even the mama Orie dolls at that time I made this. Maybe in my day-off I will recreate this look for my Jenny dolls.

TOMY CHAR G Table Circuit RC Car Wheelie & Spin Turn 1990
I don't know much about CharG but what charms me in buying this was because of the size and how cute it looked. There were a lot of variations. What I got is the BMW850. I'm not also sure if this is a rare item of not. But still for me it's a great find.

Tomy Yukko-chan charm series Yukko fashionable dressmaking shop
The doll was produced by Tomy in the year of 1972. I think the rarest is the cycling Yukko-chan. This is my only playset of Yukko-chan, but I was lucky enough that I purchased the set in a very good condition. The accessories are complete, except for Yukko-chan's original dress (white blouse and orange jumpsuit). The sewing machine is still working after a few repairs and there were no damages even at the case. The set also contains a small pattern booklet and manual. Definitely one of my favorites since I also do doll clothes as a hobby.
