Take Me To Tiffany's!

April 6, 2011
Ahhh, another visit to Tiffany & Co. in Beverly Hills. This time Teddy was shopping for a wedding gift for Fopsie and Herbert.

What to get, what to get? There were so many things that looked just perfect for Teddy, like this new lock pendant she saw in the store's window.

Teddy felt like Holly Golightly from Breakfast At Tiffany's peering in the windows. All she needed was a cup of coffee and a buttery croissant and a case of the "mean reds" to make the scene complete.

Once inside Teddy perused the crystal bowls and candlesticks. Teddy knows that Fopsie leans toward more traditional pieces. Nothing too modern.

Or maybe Fops would like a cheese plate? Teddy hopes that as a married bear she'll have more dinner parties. She hasn't been entertaining much...

After a few hours of lolling around Tiffany's, Teddy finally made a purchase! You'll have to wait till the big wedding day on May 7 to discover what Teddy settled on. :)

Teddy Is A Whole Foods Gal

April 5, 2011
A lot of people might be under the impression that Teddy doesn't do any work, that she's all play. But she wants all her fans to know that she does work! Like, today she went to Whole Foods in Beverly Hills to get some of Nibs' favorite snacks.

Can't miss the flower section. A very good housewife will make sure the house is at all times filled with fresh blossoms.

What to choose from? Teddy was partial to the Hydrangeas. And the burnt, blood orange roses, her favorite.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? Edward!

April 4, 2011
In an effort to make poor lonely heart Edward feel better about life, Teddy decided to invite the guy to dinner.

Of course Teddy doesn't cook. Nibs will take care of that. Teddy will be tied up with her matchmaking brainstorming. In many ways, she's like Gwyneth Paltrow's character from the film version of Jane Austen's novel Emma!

Hmmm, what's that bear's number? Good thing Teddy has her handy-dandy black Tiffany & Co. address book on hand. Lots of bears these days store their phone numbers electronically. Not our Teddy!

Teddy dialed Edward's number. She really hoped he answered. She is not fond of leaving voice messages. They make her nervous. What if she says too much like, "Edward, I heard you are sad and need a new girlfriend"? Teddy has a tendency to blurt things out when she's nervous.

Success! She got Edward on the phone and he said yes to dinner. It felt good to be matchmaking again, Teddy told Nibs. She loves being useful.

Teddy and Felicia Talk Bachelorette Party

April 1, 2011
Teddy really needed to get down to Fopsie's Bachelorette Party planning so she invited Felicia over for cookies, coffee and conversation. Felicia always had the best ideas!

Felicia suggested they rent a private room at a fancy restaurant and invite a lot of Fopsie's industry friends and family. Then she commented on how tasty Teddy's Samoa Girl Scout Cookies were. That Teddy always serves her guests the yummiest sweets!

Teddy mentioned spending a weekend in the English countryside like Kate Middleton did for her Bachelorette Party in Bucklebury, England.

"Is that really realistic Teddy?" asked Felicia. "How about someplace closer like Palm Springs?" Hmmm, Felicia may be on to something, thought Teddy. She wasn't sure everyone even had a Passport.

Edward Talk

March 31, 2011
Teddy could just not cook last night (like she ever does!) so she ordered in a little Mediterranean takeout to shake things up.

Over hummus, pita bread, shrimp and rice, Nibs dropped the news that Edward is upset over Fopsie's upcoming nuptials to Herbert. (A very concerned Mr. Brown passed the information on.)

That made Teddy sad. "Nibs, you know, if he met another cute bear, then he would forget all about Fopsie," Teddy said. "Should I get my matchmaking skills together?"

For once Nibs thought Teddy had a good idea! "OK, Teddy, I give you the 'paws up' to get to work!" said Nibs. Teddy is thrilled!

Edward Crushed Fopsie Is Marrying

March 30, 2011
Last night Edward went over to his old pal Mr. Brown's house for some wine and talk.

"So, are you going to Fopsie's wedding on May 7?" Mr. Brown politely inquired.

"Fopsie is getting married?" Edward asked meekly, then he put his head down. Oh no! Edward is taking this hard.

Mr. Brown felt terrible for leaking the news about his ex to Edward. "There are other bears in the woods, you know Edward," Mr. Brown said. "Maybe you should go on beardate.com."

Mr. Brown had a point. It was time for Edward to move on. Sounds like a job for, you guessed it, Teddy! It's been a while since she used those matchmaking skills.

Kate Middleton's Bachelorette Party

March 29, 2011
Last night Teddy looked through the April 2011 issue of Vanity Fair with Robert Pattinson on the cover because inside there was an article on Kate Middleton and her family.

Teddy had just read online about how Kate's Maid of Honor (and sister) Pippa threw Kate a "Dirty Dancing" themed bachelorette party in Bucklebury, England.

It made Teddy think that she really ought to throw Fopsie a Bachelorette party. Hmmm, what to do... Maybe Teddy should ask for her sister Felicia's help?

Here, above, is a picture of Kate (left) and her sister Pippa. Teddy wishes she got along as well with Felicia. Maybe Teddy will try harder this year to be a good pal to her only sister.

The article, titled "Meet The Parents," had a wealth of information about Kate's mother Carole, like how she's on the strict Dukan Diet (cottage cheese and meats) and is considered a "gauche climber." So harsh! Lucky for Fopsie, her family won't be under such an intense spotlight when she marries Herbert on May 7.
