BEAR FRIDAY

BEAR Did you have big success on Black Friday?
Were you out at the crack of dawn catching all the rock-bottom bargains?
BEAR BEAR was dreaming he was back in the duty-free shops of Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport grabbing up the Frenchie bargains...
T-shirts for bears...
BEAR This 'I WAS IN PARIS' Tee was very appealing...
BEAR Not to mention the endless supply...
BEAR Of other bears...
And Eiffel Towers up the whazoo at CDG...
BEAR In every color of the rainbow.
Bear was wishing he'd bought this dapper neckerchief perhaps made by Lanvin..?
BEAR And some French regional caramels would have been nice...
BEAR Maybe next trip, BEAR will bring along his own valise/suitcase so he can bring back some goodies too...
BONJOUR BEAR FRIDAY!

I never miss a visit to the Musee Les Arts Decoratifs when I'm in Paris...
As fabulous as their fashion exhibits are, they also have another side that appeals to me...
Currently and through 17 October they're showing, Exposition Petites et grosses bêtes
Supremely witty and whimsical exhibit of children's animal toys I could not resist.
Regarde! A New York dog walker is in residence.
He has to be French non?
Bears/nounours up the whazoo.
Do translate if you can..something about a flea?
"Les elephants sont toujours representes plus petits que natures, mais une puce toujours plus grande".
Another irresistable bear...
Just a few blocks away Baby Tuileries 326 rue St. Honore has bears dressed in their finest on swings...
Why are there no animals in New York City everywhere you turn? c'est pas juste :(

Are you a dog person?
Or a chat person?
There's plenty of goodies for animal lovers at Plastiques on 103 rue de Rennes 75006
Here's a little dog I found waiting in the CDG airport loo.
No dogs allowed at JFK I'm afraid...
I loved your stories of galavanting around on your first day in Paris !
MERCI BEAUCOUP PB READERS!!!

Mini-Ha-Ha

Mini Tea Time watercolor, 9" x 11"

I'm off to David Dewey's watercolor workshop in Maine next week. But I still want to paint some still lifes...
What to take with me that won't fill up too much space? Isn't it clever of Pierre Herme to create dessert art to use in the background of my still lifes? My suitcase is overloaded... But for the life of me...

I can not find my MACARONS!!!
Oh there they are, safe and sound :)

I could use a "drink me" bottle like Alice to get very small...
To set up these %$#@! still lifes...hmmm
There's a new yellow bird on board. Bear wants to know if they are both going to Maine or is he just going or are they even going at all!?
What do you think?

I went out to see the Polar bears yesterday....

Bear Balancing act, original watercolor, 5" x 7"
Well I had to go... Photo by Bill Cunningham
Because Bill Cunningham in his Sunday Times story on the streets of New York said everyone was wearing winter whites! Even though he missed our new first lady (to be)... And even though he missed this polar bear coat I spotted a year ago in FOA Schwartz...Just the mention of winter whites makes me remember this fab polar bear poster in the Paris Metro...


Getting back to why I went to see the bears yesterday...

Bill showed these amazing huge polar bears that appear annually in Linda Horn's Xmas windows...
So of course I had to venture out to see them didn't I?
So I could report back to y'all?

And as synchronicity would have it, don't you know PBS Nature Series last night featured Artic POLAR BEARS!!!

Did you know a polar bear's nose is better at sniffing out smells that a Blood hound?

And that the average polar bear weighs in at 1000 pounds, but her new born baby weighs only ONE pound?

Please new Pres-elect - lets not forget about saving the polar bears, among the thousand or so pressing issues you have on your to-do list!
BON LUNDI!
