Pierre and Buster in Paris!


Here is my French Bear I have made ~ Pierre, Le Guide de Voyage, I will be placing him on my Web-site for sale soon.



We have friends that have recently moved to Paris to live and they sent over, this darling photo of their cute dog Buster.
Our daughter had a holiday job with them and V loved taking Buster for a walk in her lunch break.

We are going to have dinner with some friends tonight, so looking forward to that.
I wonder what you have planned for the weekend?
Have a happy weekend.

Hugs
Carolyn

    Not much on the agenda this weekend. Sewing some bags for my daughter's friend (she has a craft show at the end of the month) and shopping tomorrow.
    I love your little bear. He is so adorable. How high is he?

    Isn't Buster a cute name for a dog? And he's a cutie too!

    Going to do some Christmas thinking and shopping, I hope. Along with a couple step classes to keep the blood moving and the calories at bay.

    Drinks with friends too......

    Happy weekend, Carolyn!

    Hi Rosemary,

    Thanks for visiting and yes, it is great to have friends in Paris.
    Enjoy your dinner tonight and if there is anything else I can help your friends with, just email me.

    Hi Dolores,

    Sounds like fun though, making some bags for the craft show.
    Pierre is only a small bear to what I normally make - he is about 10".

    Hi Karen,

    Thanks for visiting are your kind words.
    We have it rather cold and overcast here, not typical sort of weather for November.

    Many thanks for visiting me today Marsha and you have a busy weekend ahead. Have fun at the Miniature, potluck and flea market.

    Hi Barbara,

    That sounds like a lovely weekend too. I think that it is so much better to try and do the Christmas shopping before, the mad rush.
    Leaving it to the last minute can be pretty hectic.

    Hi Maria Cecilia,

    Many thanks for your visit and I was honoured to be invited to one of Jermaine's lovely Thanksgiving tables. Thank you for your kind words and I hope that your weekend
    is happy

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Oh Carolyn,
    Pierre is the cutest bear ever! I bet his accent is to die for.
    Buster is a cutie too. Lucky he is to live in Paris.

    Hi Carolyn,
    Pierre is quite charming with his blue, white and red French ribbon tied just so around his precious little neck! Buster is free to come stay with us in California if he ever gets tired of Paris (no chance of that!). Have a wonderful weekend, we're planning to take it easy this weekend and do things around the house.

    Pierre is absolutely adorable! My husband went to Paris on business last month (or the month before). Time escapes me these days. We hope to go back as a family next year. Hope you had a great dinner! Best wishes, :) Tammy

    Hi Carolyn
    Your little Pierre is delightful. You have certainly captured the essence of the French. This weekend I am preparing for the arrival of my daughter from Australia on 26 Nov. The excitement level in our home is very, very high!

    I'll be painting and doing a bit of baking...and... oh, the usual fun stuff. Well, it's fun for me anyway... love baking and cooking...and the painting of the cupboard doors and drawer fronts... well, that will mean one step to being totally finished in the exercise room ....yipeeee!

    I just wish it was all done so I could wrangle a few more hours to play with a doll or a bear.... lol.... oh, well...the little needle felts will suffice for now..

    Oh my goodness such a darling little bear. I am going to let my daughter who lives in Paris know about him--as her sweet handsome boyfriend is named Pierre. The "Pierre" I usually envision is an artist, but her Pierre is a gentleman and a scholar and works in finance and we are thrilled that he will be spending the holidays with us in Santa Barbara. Pierre and all of your bears are endearing works of art! Hope your weekend is the best.

    Hi Dustjacket,

    Many thanks for your visit and doesn't Buster have the cutest face and feet.

    thank you June and I would love to be living there with Buster in Paris.

    Hi Tracie,

    No, I do not think that Buster would get tired of living in France.
    Have a wonderful weekend getting things done around your home.

    thank you for visiting TattingChic and we had a great dinner and stayed the night at our friends home.

    Hi Tammy,

    thank you we had a lovely evening out. You will love having a family holiday in Paris, it is such a magical City.

    Hi Pat,

    Oh how exciting for you having your daughter come out from Australia.
    that will be wonderful to see her.
    Have fun with the preparations.

    Hi Vee,

    I know the feeling sometimes there is so much to do and very little time for your dolls and bears.
    How neat to have the exercise room finished soon ~ that will be great.

    Hi Sares,

    The little doggie does look like he is enjoying his time in Paris.

    Dear Piitis,

    Many thanks for your visit and your kind words.

    Thank you Susan dear, for your kind words.

    thank you Constance, having a lovely weekend and I hope that you are too.

    Many thanks, Slices of Beauty.

    Hi Jermaine,

    I have made an Artist bear Pierre, with his easel, smock and paintbrushes.
    Will probably do another as he was fun to make.
    How exciting that your daughter's Pierre is coming to spend the holidays with you. That is lovely.
    I hope that you are having a fabulous weekend.

    Hi Monica,

    I hope that you have the time to create something and get all your chores, completed.

    Many thanks Lisa.

    Hugs
    Carolyn
