Vintage Postcard: His Master's Voice

Vintage Intermission

I am too young to actually remember "the Potter's Wheel" interlude on BBC TV in the 1950's, but I do remember people tell of it. It was quite common apparently when broadcasting systems were a bit fragile and things used to go down, or "crash" as we would say now. Well dear visitors, over the next few weeks you will be treated to some vintage postcards that I unearthed while packing up the house. This is my Potter's Wheel for you. A new one every week, until normal service. Thank you to Great Great Aunt Ada for saving these little gems, where would I be without you ( and some might ask "why oh why have you hauled your box of postcards around Europe with you?".... and the answer is... "for times like this!")

Dogs on Wheels.... new and old

New Banner for the Crazyhound

First of all, I hope that you like the new Crazyhound Store Banner. The image came courtesy of Karen at the Graphic Fairy. The place to go for copyright free graphics that you can use for the web, or for an amazing range of craft projects. So much choice and so little time...    

Dogs on Wheels ! 

I have to admit it, I have a thing about those toy dogs, usually fox terriers mounted on wheels with a metal handle at the back to push them along on. The texture of the fur was soft and glossy, and they helped you to whiz around when you weren't too speedy on your pins yourself. I had one when I was small, and I loved it to bits. I have no idea what happened to it more is the pity. I think it was a bit like this one....

But I am more than happy to find that models are still being made by independent designers and makers like North Field Primitives in Yorkshire, England. Great isn't it ! I am sorely tempted... 

 Happy Rolling.....
