Spaghetti Poodle Mania


I know this blog is about lethal white Australian Shepherd rescue, but after getting the go-ahead from Annie (above) to write a diversion, I just had to post some pics of my collection of spaghetti poodles. We do have one little poodle at home, an elderly girl by the name of Desi (12 years old) who is my husband's velcro dog.

As I mentioned in a prior post, my mania for collecting spaghetti poodles started with a joke gift from a family member, and took off from there. I am fascinated with the large number of styles and themes, and especially with those made in post-WWII Japan. As a little girl, I can remember seeing some these on the shelves at Kreiss department stores. (Guess you can guess my age now, huh?)

I've almost stopped collecting now because of space limitations........and dusting chores. Some of my most notable:


A vintage lady with puppies.....




Cabinet collections.....




An entire set holding purses.....



A shaggy, goofy one.....



A wedding couple.....



A cute 50's chick with rhinestone glasses.....



Teapots.....







Believe it or not, a spice set.....



And a set of very ugly planters.....

I too understand your mania, the spaghetti poodle is very addictive but misunderstood. ;-) I have to hide my collection in my bedroom because people think it is so weird.
But I love them for some reason. Thanks for making me feel a little more "normal"
