Takara Licca chan as Licca Kayama from Super Doll Licca
One of the animes that I have watched when I was a kid was Super Doll Licca. As I started collecting dolls and got to know Takara's Licca chan, one of my goals is to find a doll version of the main character from the anime. Unfortunately, I can't find one, so I just bought a second-hand licca chan and made (handsewn) the school uniform that Licca wears in the anime. I'm very happy that I finally have a customized doll version of her. Hopefully I can find a Jenny doll with pink hair so I can customized another doll from the anime.

Ochaken Teapot playset (2002-2004)
A miniature playset disguised as a small teapot. It's amazing that it looks like a true teapot because of the design. As a tea lover and miniature collector, ochaken playsets combined my two favorite things.

Koeda chan x Hello Kitty strawberry house
I bought this in an auction house without the accessories. I was surprised that it is also a collab with Hello Kitty. The structure is so cute with its folding floor and strawberry shaped exterior. It is also battery operated so you can hear the characters' lines. To make it look more cute, I added some excess accessories from my cocotama sets and other playsets.

I have also fascination with tin lithographed toys. The one that I bought is a windup space explorer pushing an ice cream cart. The whimsical design really caught my interest. Not really sure of the production year, but according to auction websites it's alreadg vintage.

A Three-Dimensional Victorian Doll House (1998)
My only pop-up book of Victorian themed house. These books were quite difficult to find, especially the miniature ones. What I find so charming in this book is the craftmanship and attention to details. Since what I have is so old now, some parts were missing especially the paper doll that comes a long with it. Here is the description at the back of the book: "This beautifully illustrated carousel doll house has two stories, and eight rooms. When you tie back the strings, the house stands on its own, revealing exquisite decorative details and pop-up furniture like a mirrrored armoire, a tufted settee, a chandelier and a baby grand piano. The press-out pieces include stand-alone dolls and play accessories— even a mini doll house! With three-dimensional surprises in every room, this doll house will delight children and collectors alike." ISBN: 1-89693-882-5 Designed by: Willabel L. Tong Illustrated by: Phil Wilson Paper-engineered by: Renée Jablow

Takara Licca wearing handmade Card Captor Sakura Costume
I grew up watching Card Captor Sakura. What I love about the show is the various costumes that she wears in every episode. When I finally can sew doll clothes, it's one of my goals to make even one of her clothes. This is my handsewn doll clothes of Sakura's pink kitty costume from episode 8 (where she captured Thunder). For Licca-chan, I have to trim her hair to copy Sakura's hairstyle.

Konapun Crepe Kitchen (2007)
This is my very first Konapun toy. I was looking for an accessory for my obitsu11 dolls and it was a perfect fit! I bought it second hand so there's only a few accessories included. I used my air-dry clay and decoden whipped cream glue for making the crepes. (My model for the picture is my obitsu11 doll wearing a Rurikawa Yuki (A3) clothes that I hand painted and handsewn.)

Cooking Puchi (2017)
Luckily, I got a new set complete with all the materials needed for making the miniature foods. I watched some videos of this in YouTube and it looks fun to make (especially the french-fries!).

Konapun Burger Kitchen (2007)
I got this again in a second-hand shop. I don't know if mine got the original accessories (like the crepe kitchen at the side). I really like that there's a lot of molds for this set.

Takara Licca doll (4th generation)
I own a lot of Licca dolls that belongs to the same generation. I bought most of them because of doll clothes sewing ideas and some were rescued dolls from second hand shops. I bought her without clothes, her hair was tangled, and she has a light purple mark on her left eye. After restoring her, I hand-sewn a vintage inspired dress for her. I completed the look by also making her a necklace, earrings, bracelet, and bag. 💕
