Vintage Tuesday: Poodle Bottle Cover
July 27, 2010
It’s been a while between drinks on Vintage Tuesday pics so I thought it fitting to show you this crocheted poodle bottle cover. Solid Gold I say. It’s from an Australian book called Handcrafts by Kit Harrison. Published in 1972, this book is so packed full of gems I sat on the floor of the op shop giggling for 10 minutes before I managing to haul myself out of there. The inside flap reads…
.
“….Mrs Harris draws from her broad experience to expound a varied range of needlecrafts from beginners’ items such as curler bags and oven mitts to the ore complicated lamp shades and fancy dolls”.
.
Fancy as they are I think these words are underselling the craftacular creations inside. Stay tuned for next week when I post the pink Tulle swan and toilet seat cover!

I just reserved the display case at our local library (Jan. 2012) for my Friends of Tacky to present our collections of crocheted critters and safety pin/beaded baskets.
It will be a hoot, and much better than this month’s offering of Fisher-Price toy people!

I have a poodle bottle cover a neighbor lady made me as a child. It is a black poodle with a red ribbon around its neck! I love it, although the one in your pic is fancier!
