Recently, I listed some of my dear old stuffed poodles. They've been garnering a fair amount of attention, most notably from Asian buyers, but the postage for these large items is rather terrifying, and so far, no one's quite taken the hook:

There are, of course, my signature toilet tissue cozies available, though I haven't made any new ones for a while, but what I really want to show you today came from a fabulous estate sale which junking-buddy/sister-in-law Claudia and I found last summer.
I've been clutching these little beauties to myself, but--vet bills beckon--so today I officially put them on the block. Take a look:

Aren't these terrific? The woman who made them used them to decorate her walls; I think they'd be perfect for a poodle skirt or some over-the-top kitsch tote bag or purse. They wouldn't be difficult to make, so do feel free to "steal the plans"--I can't stop you, anyway, and I'm certainly going to attempt to make some.
These sweet dogs are at least 50 years old. I wish I knew more about the lady who made them, and where she got the idea.
We used to have a standard poodle; she was quite a girl! I still have a soft spot for poodle collectibles, though I'm definitely a pomeranian convert since Peppy came along.

This is Charlie, our very big poodle (according to our groomer, she was the biggest female poodle in the county while she lived.) Peppy is just 2 years old here; Wickham and Lollia were pups. |
