Dog Flowers???

Anyone ever seen these before?

Too cute! Thank you for posting that, I had a lady call me about two weeks ago to make a bunch of doggie arr's for a shower. All I could picture was the old fashioned football mum arr with the loppy ears, and eyes that we used to make forever-ago. She had seen them at a party and wanted to know if they we could duplicate. I asked her for a photo, but she didn't have any. I'm sure this was similar to what she was talking about. Thanks!

seems to be "new" again.....
Used to make these faces, and full poodles out of commercials and carns 35 years ago.....

Mickey, you are telling your age when you remember the flower poodles, etc. It must have been in the sixties when we made these on a daily basis and then they dissappeared for 40 years.

That picture has been sent to me recently about 6 times. One guy actually bought some of them from us after we were finally able to get some football mums here. They are not common around here and had to be special ordered.

I remember getting one of those when I was a kid!

Confession..... we make "Ice Cream Soda" arrangements now & then. They sell faster then we can make them sometimes! And, Napco has a really cute vase that looks like a ice cream cone...... good summer special......

Yep I remember the dogs, as well as Easter Bunny and Ice cream soda arrangements, Clown arrangements ( similar to Smiley face bud vases).

The ice cream soda arrangements used colored Oasis. Yes, the colored Oasis you see today is nothing new. It was available in the early 70's.

There is a vet next door to me. I would like to make one of these to set on their counter. As I was not in the industry in the 70's, what is the best way to make one?

Thanks

I sell ....

a bunch of bunny faces at Easter. Someone asked if we could still do them and for a couple of years now they pick some up for the grandchildren and I put extras out front.
