The tea cozy looks amazing too. But the teddy bear takes the cake! He's so tattered looking, but still holds a soft twinkle in his eye. I love choosing names ... what about Tatters, or Parker, and I also like the Devon suggestion. His name should be meaningful after all the years he's been through. Good luck with your naming, and have a wonderful week.

We've had two very light frosty mornings this weekend. How about that .. snow in the alps already?
