Well, today has been an exciting day. We have launched a new collection of cards in our Etsy Store.

The 1950s was such a great time for ladies clothing, especially the dresses and today we have had fun creating three of them. Not the kind you can wear but these ones are on blank cards. The perfect card for your retro friends and for any occasion.

Poodle Toilet Roll Covers are Back!

Oh yes, a true throw back to the 50s and 60s toilets of our youth. No toilet was complete without one of these toilet accessories. Why have a plain old toilet roll on display when it was be disguised with this cheeky chap. He is hand crochet in worsted weight yarn from a pattern based on those originally make in the 1950s and 1960s era. He is very strong and done with a close stitch (like amigurumi) to make a nice frim body, no nasty toilet paper showing through!

Here is a link to this chap on etsy – https://www.etsy.com/listing/195716256/poodle-toilet-roll-cover-crochet?ref=shop_home_active_14

I love crochet and I love retro so this was the obvious choice to design and make. We have several in our house and they always bring a smile to your face when you visit the little room.
