I've never agreed with Paul Simon "that everything looks worse in black and white." The most beautiful photos, I think, are the oldest ones. Today on our neighborhood walk Weasley wore his Victorian Bell collar from Linden Line Designs, I reviewed them in this here, and I was wearing a vintage dress and hat from Adeline's Attic. When we got home and I looked a the picture my husband snapped of us I realized it kind of reminded me of this old photo of a Victorian era girl and her bell wearing pug.
Of course I'm not a little girl and Weasley, like all modern pugs, looks quite different then his Victorian forebears but you get the idea. If by any chance you have an interest in vintage style my other blog, The Old Fashioned Way, is about my love of all things vintage (including vintage dog stuff).

Retro Rover-Chalkware Dogs
In 2008 Bark magazine had a great article about Carnival Chalkware (link).
Apparently cute little chalk ware figurines, rather then stuffed animals, used to be the standard prize at Carnivals. Now they are a popular collectable. Here are some of the ones available on etsy.
The every popular Rin Tin Tin available for $30.00 (link)
A basset hound in very good condition for $15.00 (link)

An absolutely adorable bulldog with a pipe (this one tempts me sorely)

A super cute pug link
Wouldn't it have been neat to go to a carnival in the thirties and win this little guy! If only
