Cornelia is Ready to Shop up a Storm
CORNELIA: "Oh my! It's 12:02 and I said I would meet my best friend Moesje at 12:00, however it's not anyone's fault. Fairy Mum is kept very busy weaving her magic all over the place. But now on my way to Moesje after walking through the magic portal between Daddy's house and Mummy Marian's house. Goodness! It's raining like cats and dogs here in Groningen! Luckily I remembered to bring my umbrella as well as my fancy old handbag that Daddy calls by another name.
I am nearly there, my best friend! Please wait for me! I can't wait to see you and go shopping!"
*Gasps and sighs with relief when she sees Moesje standing under a red umbrella, awaiting her arrival.*
"There you are Moesje, my best friend! I'm so sorry to keep you waiting! Poor Fairy Mum was a bit late opening the portal between Daddy's house and Mummy Marian's house because there was a girl who needed a pretty gown to wear to a ball, but she only had rags to wear. Still, Fairy Mum sorted a pretty dress for her, and now I am here!
I hope you are ready to shop up a storm!" *Giggles.* "We'll buy nail polish for your paws and lipsticks that suit both our muzzles, oh and lace for you Moesje, so you can have a new frock, and perfume and ribbons and some chocolate too! We mustn't forget the chocolate!"
My bear Cornelia has made friends with a little bear named Moesje www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577217879.... Moesje is a beautiful Bukowski Bear from Paal in Belgium. She has come to live with Mummy Marian (Marian Kloon (on and off)).She had been waiting in the dark corner of a shop with other bears for a long time, hoping someone would pick her up. All the bears were picked up, except Moesje. An appeal was made on the Internet and Mummy Marian sprang into action immediately! Moesje needs friends to love her, and Cornelia did not hesitate, for she has so much love to give to Moesje. Now Moesje's days are full of happiness. Moesje is awaiting Cornelia underneath her own red brolly as you can see here: www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/53698250463/ or in the first comment below.
I love and collect vintage and antique accessories, including umbrellas and parasols, some going back as far as the mid 1800s. However, Cornelia is holding a stub handled Art Deco parasol from the 1920s, as can be clearly seen by the gaily coloured Jazz Age stylised floral pattern on the inside. It is a rarity amongst my collection, which is made up mostly of British pieces. This is an American example, made by The Perfection Manufacturing Company, which was located at 826 to 830 South 18th Street, St. Louis, Missouri.
Cornelia, I found in an antique and vintage market quite recently. She is a vintage edition Russ Bear from their Mohair Collection. She is made of deliberately mottled mohair to give her that vintage look. One of a limited edition of 10,000, she was designed by artist Carol Hosfstad and is completely handmade.
