The front of a Hello Kitty plush.

Identifying a Hello Kitty Plush?
She is cute but I do see several things that make me wonder about the authenticity of your plush. No tag is a bad sign and even worse if there is no indication of where a tag may have been. I do not remember seeing a real Hello Kitty with shoes but this I could...

 

A gold tinted mirror to attach to a dresser.

A small horse stuffed animal.

An undressed Cabbage Patch Kid doll.

How Do I Sell My Dolls?

A wooden dresser with a mirror.

Identifying Antique Furniture?
From seeing similar styles online, I believe your dresser is a reproduction of styles made in the 1800s-early 1900s. I say reproduction because the state abbreviation is in caps - KY - and this abbreviation was used beginning in 1963. https://about.usps.com...

The Bassett marking on a piece of furniture.

Value of 1970s Bassett Bedroom Suite?
