Taking a short break.
HELLO FROM SUNNY FLORIDA!🌞 Happy to be back after a VERY long break from Etsy. Things have changed a bit in the last 12 years. I still love making jewelry (Recollections Jewelry on Facebook & Pinterest) and treasure hunting, but I’ve become obsessed with giving new life to old toys. Rudy is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It all started by chance one Christmas. I am a member of the Gainesville Artisans’ Guild and we sell fun, handmade ornaments every year. I made a few the first year and they were a huge hit. I spend all year crocheting the little sweaters. All embellishments are done in October and November.
All toys are donations, thrift store or flea market finds. They get a bath before being fitted with a custom hand crocheted sweater and accessories. Each one is unique and created to put a smile on your face. Hope you love them as much as I do.
This year is very different, of course. Sadly, there are no shows on the schedule. 💔
NOTE: RUDY’S RESCUE FOR HOMELESS TOYS are NOT designed for YOUNG CHILDREN. Small pieces could fall off creating a CHOKING HAZARD. Toys are designed for DISPLAY ONLY.

5 out of 5 starsFantastic! A wonderful idea. Looks so much like Rocki, my German Shepard! Arrived safely, in plenty of packaging material to ensure the legs didn’t break off during being tossed around @ all the postal stations between your shop & Oregon. Arrived safely packaged. Fantastic idea.

4 out of 5 starsI like this for Halloween, but was disappointed in the tiny, cheap clip that seems to have been fashioned from a pin.
