"Smile!" printed lightly in the background
I found vintage ceramic poodle photos and then carefully cut them out and pasted them over a fun 1960's, orange and pink stripped background. You can vaguely see the words "Be Happy" and "Smile" in the background... Always a nice reminder! The poodles are glossy ceramic pieces and have lots of detail. "According to the site Crazy for My Collectibles, they were popular during the 1950s and 1960s, and most were made in Japan. Several collectors wrote in their blogs about seeing them in their mothers’ or grandmothers’ china cabinets and playing with them as children." As for me... I can't get enough POODLE POWER, so it's surely one of my favorites!!! Have fun!!!
