ted and bunny

I found the gently dog-eared 1910 postcard at Alexandra Palace antique fair many years ago, instantly enchanted with such an adorable old Steiff Bear gently pushing his bunny friend in the ancient wheelbarrow.
Ted looks so handsome in his knitted suit!

When I registered for eBay back in 2002 the card was on my desk and I could think of no nicer name than tedandbunny.

After their sedentary beginnings with a handwritten message and halfpenny stamp, this dear old bear and his companion have been beamed all around the world via the internet.
and when I launched my website nothing seemed to sound better than tedandbunny.co.uk

Ted and Bunny are now firmly "part of the family"!

twenty blessings

May the best hour of the day be yours.
May luck go with you from hill to sea.
May you stand against the prevailing wind.
May no forest intimidate you.
May you look out from your own eyes.
May near and far attend you.
May you bathe your face in the sun’s rays.
May you have milk, cream, substance.
May your actions be effective.
May your thoughts be affective.
May you will both the wild and the mild.
May you sing the lark from the sky.
May you place yourself in circumstance.
May you be surrounded by goldfinches.
May you pause among alders.
May your desire be infinite.
May what you touch be touched.
May the company be less for your leaving.
May you walk alone beneath the stars.
May your embers still glow in the morning.

wet wet wet

I got wet today
then I got wetter
then I got wetter still
then I ran out of waterproof coats
and got wetter than I thought it was possible to be while vertical.

Now I've dried off, I'm about to get in the shower.

Where's the sense in that?

Pennyblossoms said...: Wet here too! And today was the day that I wore a coat only to find the zip didn't work properly (once I'd left home)!
Then they cut out my bus. Booooo!
Have a great vintage fair tomorrow.

bayou said...: The snow has gone overnight and I went to the fleamarket in Liège where all was dry (but very good bargains to be made :-) ). It only started raining in the afternoon and went very windy. Have a great day tomorrow, sadly I am too far away to meet you there. But better rain than snow and ice for you :-).; 14/12/12 8:04 pm

Nice weekend,

Annie @ knitsofacto said...: At least in the shower you're not wetting your clothing as well (I'm assuming you weren't dancing naked in the rain!).

Hope the fair went well :); 17/12/12 12:14 pm
