Vintage Poodles and Scottie Dogs

Each era seems to have had a fascination with a particular animal i think poodles were  very popular in the 1960’s and were regularly featured on buttons knitting patterns etc.

These poodle buttons are so sweet i did have a couple of sets in blue but they sold pretty quickly but don’t despair i have 6 sets of the yellow version for sale at my ebid store Henrietta’s Vintage

set of 7 plastic poodle buttons

Childs hat and poodle coat

The Scottie Dog was popular in the 1940’s and was  featured on a myriad of items including Buttons, Clothes, Ornaments, Brooches/Pins, pendants, Greetings Cards, adverts, and even a monopoly playing  piece. Famous Scottie dog owners include Franklin Roosevelt, George W Bush, Queen Victoria, Eva Braun, Dwight D Eisenhower, Rudyard Kipling, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Tatum O’ Neal.

Marshall Cavendish knitting patterns

Here are a few from the Marshall Cavendish range which you can purchase from Henrietta’s at

Pearls for June Birthdays June Brides or Just Because You Love Pearls in Any Form

If you were born in June you have a truly beautiful birthstone ~ the pearl. They are the oldest gem known to man, and the only gem made by an animal. Pearls are symbols of purity, perfection, elegance and affluence.

Once a rare and highly prized gem, a symbol of power and most expensive since first documented in 2300 BC, they are now relatively inexpensive and available to anyone. We can find them not only in jewelry but accessories and even accents to clothing.

Fortunately for pearl lovers, there are not only natural pearls from oyster beds, but saltwater or freshwater pearls, cultured pearls “invented” in 1907, and those grown in pearl farms. And of course faux pearls made of glass or beads.

Our Best In Vintage members have some fabulous pearl, cultured pearl and even faux pearl offerings for you from jewelry to clothing and of course accessories. We hope you love pearls as much as we do, even if they aren’t your birthstone!

Dr Scholl the footcare man

Vintage-wood-Dr-Scholls-foot-measure-and-shoe-size-indicator

Willian M Scholl the son of German imigrants was born in Indiana.  At 18 he moved to Chicago where he was employed by Rupperts a shoe retailer. Scholl attended  night classes at the Illinois Medical School, graduating in 1904 as podiatrist. 

In 1904 he gained a patent for a mechanical foot support called the Foot Eazer and in 1906 he started his own company. Over several years he produced a  series of similarly patented footcare products, including: the Zino Pad, rubberless stockings, anticorn pads, cushion insoles, exercise sandals, orthopedic shoes, Foot Wings and Ball-O-Foot Cushions.

Established in 1912, William founded the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, located at Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago, Illinois.

 Scholl sold his products all over America and eventually overseas, By the early 1960s, there were about 100 Dr. Scholl’s Foot Comfort Shops in the United States, and over 400 overseas.

William M. Scholl died in 1968 at the age of 86, with over 1000 patented footcare products to his name.
