Poodles on Etsy (and elsewhere)

By Phyrra on December 2, 2009

One of the things that I love about Etsy is that you can get cute and custom stuff there. A while back I contacted a seller who was really nice and made me some cute Standard Poodle vinyl decals. I finally got around to applying them on my laptop.

Oodles of poodles!

I think the Purple and Teal designs turned out really well. The pink was the most difficult of the three.
Seriously, this is the cutest standard poodle line art that I’ve seen. I’d probably wear this on a shirt or on a purse if I ever found one.

I’m very picky about what poodle designs I like or don’t like, but these are definitely cute to me.

I love the art from one of the sellers, Lynn Culp.

Pink Poodle

Blue Poodle

Silver Grey Poodle

I also like the cute ModDog Shop Poodles:

Show Clip if only it didn’t have hip rosettes. I hate the hip rosettes.

Puppy Clip

And even this greeting card from GreerDesigns:

Holiday Poodle

While the following aren’t from etsy, they’re some of the few poodle shirts I’ve found that were cute. Most poodle shirts I’d never touch. I want standard, not toy or miniature:

Poodle Geek Shirt

blah shirt but cute poodle

men’s shirt this one cracks me up.

So how about you? What do you prowl for on Etsy?
