Saturday Photo Hunt - Cuddly!

Today's photographic prompt gives me an opportunity to quickly update you on Merry's pursuit of Master Stormy.

Her persistence is obviously paying off, as they were seen to be getting seriously cuddly on St Valentine's Day...I quickly adverted my eyes after this touching moment, as wanted to spare their bear blushes!!!!
Ear wagging hugs,

True Colours Thursday - BLUE & WHITE!

Being the Gentleman Bear that I am, I will only say a little on Mother's Colours post today as her story with BLUE & WHITE photographs regarding the lady who makes hand spun hair Teddy Bears should strictly have been mine to relate - after all, I am head of her Bear Hug!
But, I have a big heart and I have my own romantic tale to tell!!!

As you know, dear Merry is trying to win the heart of Master Stormy, with his dashing navy BLUE & WHITE bow...Her initial attempts re wearing seductive 'Evening in Paris' Perfume and sharing similar taste in Italian Deruta [BLUE & WHITE] pottery have failed to make an impression - he remains friendly but regretably ALOOF!

However, Mother @ that pre Christmas Teddy Bear Fair in Brighton, found a pretty BLUE hat decorated with tiny WHITE pearls for her to wear...

And when home, a BLUE & WHITE silk handkerchief of Grandmothers.

The finished look - she, Merry hates to model - I insisted...

So, encouraged, by Stormy's unexpected Christmas bouquet of Roses...And with another splash of the magic BLUE &WHITE perfume...

Merry went wooing again - she is one liberated persistant Lady Bear!

The result???

To be continued...

Unfortunately, Mother's camera has lost it's memory and my photograghs!

Hence, I leave you with this romantic 'cliff-hanger'!

Hugs,

True Colours Thursday - LAPIS LAZULI!

A while back on another True Colour Thursday, Navy I believe, I posted about Merry being smitten with Master Stormy.
A fine and handsome fellow, he is still proving a differcult bear for her to 'Woe and Win' over!
This is her latest effort to 'Wow' him with her style and good taste...She's doned Mother's LAPIS LAZULI blue glass beads... And started to use her pretty little milk jug made in Italian Deruta pottery...Why, the latter?
Because, Stormy has the matching coffee cup - Mother brought both back as holiday souvenirs from Lago Trasimeno, in Umbria, Italy... I just hope, this display on Merry's part works, as she does get rather blue when rejected by him!
But, I suspect this courtship has a way to run yet!
Hugs,

True Colours Thursday - NAVY!

Now, Mother confessed to struggling with this weeks colour, but not me, as I have a tale of hoped for seduction via this to relate...When Mother was young, a long time ago, even by my standards, Grandmothers very favourite perfume was 'Evening in Paris'.
Created in 1929 by Bourjois; by the Nineteen Fifties it had become "The Most Famous Fragrance in the World."
It came in a dark blue bottle with a dream of sophistication, romance & escapism, and Mother has inherited several of these small iconic bottles in their original packaging and full too.
The scent is too sweet for her now, but she told Merry and I, that the slightest whiff still conjures up special childhood memories like a good-night kiss.
Now, upon hearing this, dear Merry doused herself in it.
You see she is rather smitten with Master Stormy in his NAVY & White ribbon..Wearing her best silk NAVY neckerchief, she is keen to share a kiss with him.
I do worry, her feelings may not be reciprocated!
As despite her best efforts todate, he seems only inclined to cuddling...Guess only time will tell, whether the 'Evening in Paris' magic still works!
Hugs,
