VINTAGE THINGY THURSDAY - BELL PULL AND A POODLE

A WONDERFUL FIND FROM MY TRIP TO OHIO

I am in love with this gorgeous hand sewn bell pull.  It is from the 1970's and it is all about 'BIRDS.'

HOW LUCKY CAN I GET!!!

The poodle is my darling Cheri' and she is very curious about my photography.

WHAT IS THIS THING?

TELL ME MOM!

IT'S A BELL PULL CHERI'

This is crewel work and I wanted to you to see it close up.

THANKS MOM!!!

Please visit Suzanne at,  Coloradolady for lots of great vintage treasures.

Enjoy your day

Love, Jeanne

How lovely!! I think we all had some kind of crewel-stitch kit somewhere during the seventies.

The title just cracked me up---I scanned it as "Bell, Pull and Poodle" and thought for a split second it was some kind of incantation---like in that old Kim Novak/Jimmy Stewart movie. Maybe a little Gentle, Goofy Magic to conjure Doggie Treats or chew-toys.

Hi Jeanne- someone went to a lot of work on that piece. I love the pictures of Cheri studying it.

HAHAHAHA Cheri is PRECIOUS! Yep, they are just the MOST curious things! That bell pull is gorgeous and someone put a lot of work into it. Oh, and stop by my post today, I showed #11....lol. Hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend. Ours will be chock full of stuff again!♥

What a unique piece, I'm sure it took hours for all that intricate work. Cheri is so cute.... come on by my blog for a friendly little bragging rights contest.
Happy VTT

Oh I love that!!! Love birds, love vintage embroidery/ crewel work! Love it all! Next time you take a trip to Ohio, I'm going with you, because that is apparently where all the good stuff is! And before I forget... Cheri is so cute!!!

Your poodle is adorable. I never saw one colored like that. At first I thought it was a stuffed dog.

I remember doing a couple small crewel projects from kits in the 1970s.

the embroidery is stunning and your little Cheri is a real cutie :) x

Wow, what intricate detail in the bell pull. It's amazing how much time these vintage pieces took to make. Glad it has a good home. Your Cheri' is so darn cute....all that curly hair, and she loves the camera:-)

Jeanne.....My best friend in high school spelled her name the way you do so yours will be easy to remember. Thanks so much for stopping by my Buttons for Baga and leaving the comment about the old perfume bottle. I agree with you...nothing compares to them. I have a few more similar but different items I m going to share in the weeks to come. Again, thanks for the visit and please stop back by.

Jeanne...I am really having brain freezes tonight. I forgot to tell you how much I like the embroidered bell pull and your precious Cheri....the handwork is beautiful. The colors in the dainty little birds are so nice.

Hugs,
