We received this special NUBIAN pillow in the mail today! It was a surprise gift from sister-in-law in Texas. Pillow was made by Eric and Christopher from Bucks County, PA. Website under their names...we looked it up and unfortunately there were no other goats represented. However, there were horse, pig, rooster, sheep and others. I am always looking for goat gifts and they are not always easy to find! So, just passing this along...

Thank you! We told Ellen that we have put a photo of her gift up for all the world to see! We really do love it...and it was for nothing (no birthday, etc) which made it even better!!! The rocker is Amish...a gift from our youngest son (aren't the Amish big in PA, too?) I love goat gifts...wish there were more choices. I always buy things on the auctions...last year I bought a beautiful ornament with a Nubian goat and also a jacket with "They Call Me the Goat Lady" on it. LOL. Lots of people commented on it. Too bad I'm not craftsy or artsy or whatever...I love that kind of stuff.

I Love that Pillow, So cute! If you like really nice pottery Buck Run Pottery has some awesome stuff & all the different breeds of goats on different pieces.

Backfourty! Good for you!! I have to tell you that we have a doe out of New Rocky Comfort Camilla which I believe is the herd that was (still?) owned by the Buck Run Pottery folks in Arkansas. We actually bought her as a doeling from Jana Bullis of Prairie Nights in Oklahoma. Her sire is Narrow Chance Copper Breeze. Anyway, they do fantastic stuff and I appreciate your recommendation. Do you know if they still have their Nubian herd?
Doug, I think that darling baby girl needs one of those pillows AND her very own rocking chair AND a pony AND diamonds always work...you better get at it, boy!

Don't know if they still have their goats but I've seen their pottery pieces & one of these days I'm going to order some of them! They are gorgeous!

Someone else here had a link they shared that had all kinds of goat related items but I can't remember who it was. I want to say Pony or Minelson.

You can buy heat transfer paper for your copier and put whatever photo you want on material for pillows or clothes or whatever. Of course you need an iron. Anybody still have one of those? LOL

OK...showing my age and lack of "coolness" here: YES!! I have an iron AND I actually use the dern thing. Not being very "crafty" I have tried doing iron-ons in the past without what you would call great success. My feeling is that if you whine enough your sister-in-law will go out and buy what you want just to shut you up...that's a different kind of "crafty." lol
