I LOVE dogs...I have had many wonderful dogs in my life...above are my pugs, Bailey and Sophie! But not only do I love dogs...I love decorating with them, too! This big chalkware dog~ I've named him Scruff~ sits on my hutch...
There are sweet prints...
and photos, like this big charming old photo in the foyer...
fun old tins...
vintage trophies...
sweet figurines...
My daughter is a talented artist and does portraits~ this one was one she had just started , but hasn't completed. It is of our two sweet basset hound sisters~Maggie and Nellie, that we were blessed to own for 11 years. Even in this early stage, she captured their personalities...
She is going to eventually do a portrait of each of the six dogs our family has loved over the years... this oil portrait is of our oldest pug, Bailey~ it hangs in our living room...
In person, it is so realistic you want to pet her!
I just love finding fun vintage decor, books, and ephemera, and am always on the hunt! Just a dog girl, I guess...
I am linking to My Cottage Charm's Treasures and Trinkets Thursday
and Furry First Friday
Until next time...

Your daughter is very talented. She really does a beautiful job on the dog portraits. The picture of Bailey and Sophie was too cute, they were really striking a pose in that picture.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your vintage dog items. I have a few small dog figurines (one from you) and a couple of old pictures of wire hair fox terriers. The only dog I have ever owned is our wire hair fox terrier, Denali. She is a very sweet dog and so much fun to have around the house.
Now that my son has left for college she has really become the princess of the house!
Enjoy the rest of the week and the long weekend!

Your daughter has an amazing gift and I can tell she loves what she does. I am enjoying all your doggie memorabilia and accessories AND other features of your house. I will be coming back to appreciate your blog.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a great post for Furry first Friday. (link is on my blog)
You have inspired me to do a better job of displaying my treasures.
You have such a flair for decorating. I love the way you've placed the dog items around the house. Scruff looks a lot like our little Trixie. She's a jack russell and border collie mix. She has the energy of a Jack Russell with the good qualities of the border collie. Your pugs are adorable.
ReplyDeleteLinda, aren't pugs wonderful? They seem to have so much personality. For some reason I love to go to YouTube and watch the pub videos. There is one video, in particular, of a pug pushing a stroller everywhere. It is the funniest thing and never ceases to make me laugh. I love the pictures of the pugs. They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love all your dogs, Linda, and the way you've decorated with them. Bailey and Sophie are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very talented!
Love your doggie collection, Linda! The paintings by your daughter are wonderful; looks like she captured their personalities as well as their likenesses!
ReplyDeleteI Linda,
ReplyDeleteI am a huge dog lover myself, so this is right up my alley! Your pups are so cute, and your daughter is Super talented! Her artwork is so realistic! I also love your collection of dog art and figurines, they are all awesome! Makes me want to start collecting :)
I, too, love dogs. Your collection of prints, photos, figurines, etc. is fabulous. And your daughter is so very talented! I hope to have a painting done of my dogs someday.

Okay, from now on whenever I see a 'dog' thing, I'm going to think of you! You have some charming pieces. And your daughter has a whopping talent!
ReplyDeleteWhile usually a dog lover too, I'm a little peeved at the new puppy! ANOTHER hole dug in my lawn! And there isn't a flower pot that hasn't been replanted at least 3 times because of her! Gotta love it!
Just love all of your vintage items here!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is a great artist!
Thank you for sharing.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Hugs, Sharon
You have a wonderful dog collection!!! Your two little pooches are ADORABLE too!
ReplyDeleteKristen
Aw I love your pugs, they are so sweet, and your daughter's paintings are beautiful! I would love to be able to paint like that. The bassets are also adorable. They always have the saddest yet sweetest eyes when they look at you and I'm such a sucker for that. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a post right after my own heart. Bailey and Sophie just need to be hugged right through the screen. What a wonderful talent your daughter has and what keepsakes her portraits will be for your family. Woof!
ReplyDeleteBailey's portrait is just so true to life. My life would be incomplete with out my little companion. Your collection is very pretty. hugs♥olive
