Suzie the Pink Vintage Chenille Scottie DogMini 5-Question Interview with Leah of VintageChenille
How would you describe the concept behind your etsy store, VintageChenille?
I do hope that my store and products are unique, many are OOAK and all handmade by myself with vintage chenille, which I spend lots of time collecting and lots of love!
Vintage Chenille Pear RattleWhen did you start making your vintage chenille pieces, and why did you start selling on etsy?
I started creating with Vintage chenille not long after my baby girl was born, which is just over 12 months ago now. I opened my etsy store in August of last year
Bell The Blue Bird (On Sale!)Do your materials have a story behind them?
Many of the old bedspreads have a story behind them, people often pick out pieces of my Gracie's quilt and tell me that they once had a bedspread like one of the squares. Many people tell me that the old chenille makes them smile and brings back happy memories, I love that!
Baby Blue Vintage Chenille Patchwork QuiltHow many stuffed toys do you own personally?
Well I don't own many at all, my children own quite a few, we are moving on to dolls now, which is exciting, as my daughter arrived after 3 boys!

Emily the elephant marches to the beat of a different drummer, and dances to her own music. She is green when running east, and orange when wandering west, and fun no matter which way she is headed.

ReplyDeleteVincent is a handsome fellow, who will make a loyal friend for your little one (or you of course)
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21504057
ReplyDeleteVincent is just a little bit different from his scottie dog family. Sometimes he wishes he was more like them, just one colour, but he DOES get told that he IS special, that he IS one of a kind, that he IS afterall part vintage and that he IS very beautiful..... perhaps the other scottie doggies should want to be like him!
This isn't a real entry ;)
ReplyDeleteThere is a scottie dog called Spot (short for Spottie),
one side is brown and the other dotty.
Spottie Spot Scottie secretly thinks Rachel Rabbit is a hottie,
but alas, Rachel Rabbit has a soft spot for Max, another Scottie!
you win :D
ReplyDeleteHaha I don't think hottie rabbits are really the kind of image Leah's going for ;)
ReplyDeleteRuby The Vintage Chenille Babushka Doll will bring a touch of russian cuteness & cuddliness to your home.

Hehe, I choose Vincent the vintage Scotty...
ReplyDelete"Och Aye" says Vincent as he looks around for his new owner. "I canna make a wee babe happy til I come home to your place for a wee cuddle"
I would like to add something about haggis and wee drams of fine malt but......
Leah's store has lovely chennile items =). I am specially smitten with her gorgeous quilts.
ReplyDeleteSo here's a story for Cottontail:
"Have you heard of this bunny's tale? How she prances and bounces around the fields to catch a wandering flake of cotton? Yes, indeed, it's the story of Cottontail. She's ready to be adopted, and to fill your home with lovely cotton tales."
Thanks for introducing such a sweet store and seller! I already have Leah's blog in my Reader =)

Hmm, I can't think of descriptions for my own shop right now, but maybe...
ReplyDeleteEmily Elephant http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24143468
Emily is shy, and hides in the grass, a strange place for an elephant. But she'd love some friends to invite her to play...maybe hide and go seek?
I love all the dolls!

I love the Vintage Chenille Carrot Rattle because it reminds me of my favorite book when I was young....."Bunnicula". Everytime I see carrots, I think vampire bunnies :)

Little Bo Peep has lost her Bo Peep buttons. All her friends help her finding them. Rufus, the swiftest of all, search to the moon and back, Eve the mightiest looks under the rocks, and Spot sniffs all the way down the hills. But it was dearest Martha who found them sitting idly all wrapped up under the Dick and Jane quilt. The End.
ReplyDeleteKatie the Kitty was blue. She didn't know what to do. So to make herself feel better,she wrote
ReplyDeleteme a letter. I give this Babushka Doll to you!
