I have this old, approximately the 1960’s, PATONS 65 cents pamphlet with knitting patterns for Bazaar Items. Corn cob slippers, tea cozies, toilet roll covers and poodle bottle covers to name a few. I see that the same booklet can be purchased on Ebay for about four bucks now.
Not sure if anyone still has a dolly or poodle sitting on top of their toilet tank with a spare roll of toilet paper hidden underneath.
We had the poodle pattern! Mam’s house was full of that kind of thing, and I only recently got rid of her old- and I do mean old- patterns 🙁 Happy Saturday, Ruth!
Have a good weekend Jo and thanks for sharing your poodle memory.
Those tissue covers bring me back to my childhood and my grandmother’s house. Thanks for the memories!
They do, for sure. Thanks Pam.
I do remember these but our’s were crocheted.
I remember all of those things but we didn’t have any of them. Mother quilted so everything was quilted.
I remember those those poodles! Not sure where I saw them though. Mother had a horror of knitted cosies in the bathroom. Thank goodness.
Oh, I remember that poodle. My sister had one. I’m thankful crafts have evolved, although those corn cob slippers are kinda cool.
Ha, this is classic! The treasures you possess…!
My son heard no hearse has a u-haul attached behind it.
