They're like a modern day version of the cigarette fabric collectibles - but reproductions.
I remember her from eBay. She found herself a very nice little niche in the market.
I never bought from her as the last thing I needed was something new to collect. :roll:

Hmmm, maybe I'll pick up one or two. But that's it. ;-)
Here's some history if you're interested:
