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.

haizi daizi said...: I love autumn and winter it's my favourite time of the year. What a beautiful area you live in ~ it would certainly encourage me to get up and go for a walk. The colour of the trees and leaves have a very calming and tranquil feel about them and capture perfectly the beauty of this time of the year. Just perfect ....! Have a good day ~ Haizi x; 11/10/11 8:13 AM
