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.

STOP PRESS! BRUCE IS SAFE & WELL!!

Its ok, I'm still here!

(although she made me go out in the snow

and I did feel like Frozen Findus. . .)

(for overseas readers, Findus frozen lasagne has been found

to contain 100% horsemeat instead of any beef. . .)

Anonymous said...: You really make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I in finding this topic to be actually one thing which I think
I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and very huge for me.
I'm taking a look forward to your subsequent put up, I'll try to get the grasp of it!

BettyJean @ ShabbyTeaParty said...: Oh Bruce, I'm certain you have nothing to worry about. Your mum's sure to keep you a safe distance from frozen findus. Your coat is sooo handsome, does it come in my size? LOL Stay warm and don't eat too much snow, or were you making a snowman? Oh, that reminds me I made a snow horse once for my children when they were young. You can see it here http://shabbyteaparty.blogspot.com/2011/02/ive-just-received-award.html

sharie said...: Aww poor boy. I really hope he doesn't end up in a pie.
My horse was 38 when he died last year and we buried him in the paddock.
I think its disgusting putting horse meat into our food. We got a take away the other day and some of the meat was suspect. It was supposedly beef but very jellified like horse meat is supposed to look like. We threw it away.
God only knows what else contains horse meat. I guess we are in for a few more shocks.; 9/2/13 7:50 pm
Purrfect Haven said...: dear, dear Bruce... what a dreadful thing all the concealment in the meat industry thingy is. Hugs for Bruce (from the happily Veggie Haven Household). Thanks for taking time to leave us a comment. Love Helen, Darcy and Bingley xxx; 10/2/13 1:28 pm
