Strawberry Shortcake Pillow Handmade Victorian Children Girls Bedding Bed DecorWe'll never forget the deliciously sweet girl from Strawberryland who touched the hearts of little girls everywhere and delighted us all with her country cottage whimsy...our adorable Strawberry Shortcake. The original design of Strawberry Shortcake was created in 1977 by American Greetings' illustrator Muriel Fahrion; this iconic image captured a charming traditional ragdoll-like appearance that was eventually lost in future years as her original look began to transition in order to follow the more current styles and fads of American girls. If one envisions what the original illustration of Strawberry Shortcake that was popular during the late 1970s to the mid 1980s would have looked like all grown up with her folksy shabby chic charm and Victorian children's literature influence, one may imagine a Strawberry Shortcake that looks like the childlike character on this darling handmade pillow. Winsomely presenting Strawberry Shortcake blossoming into early adulthood, she is adorned in a garden flower embellished sunhat, red heart vine accented Southern Belle style dress, and Victorian inspired accessories like fingerless gloves and a powder blue parasol; Strawberry Shortcake is ready to visit with all of her dear Strawberryland friends in the strawberry patch garden house! Making a precious gift for a daughter or granddaughter with a super sweet personality like Strawberry Shortcake, the oval illustration on this one-of-a-kind bedding decor cushion is pleasantly framed with complementary red soutache trim, hand-sewn mint and peach satin rosettes, and a floral paisley cottage chic style fabric displaying various light and dark shades of reds and greens.Sweetly showcasing a functional matching floral rose pocket that picks up the very same red, green, and blue color hues from the front of the pillow; it is stitched on top of a quaintly cute small flower pattern with a strawberry red background. This pocket is a great secret hiding place for keeping a child's favorite little toys from Strawberryland or sweet fruit candies that remind them of their favorite Strawberry Shortcake characters...or a perfect place for a tooth for the tooth fairy...or a pocket for your posies!Please note that a tiny remnant of the adhesive used to adhere the braided soutache trim can slightly be seen; fortunately this is not very noticeable and only reveals a delicate shine to the oval border of the image. Furthermore, there is a tiny and very hard to see original printing flaw that appears to be a speck size beauty mark near Strawberry Shortcake's left eye (as seen in the close-up images provided); this is barely noticeable unless closely examining.Ink transferred print
