Oh, the indignity of it all.
This is the time of year that Scout has to put up with me chasing her around the room, while she repeatedly shakes the bunny ears off her head and I put them on again. Over and over.
How do I put it? She dislikes it all intensely. She isn’t happy with me.
But come on, can you blame me? Scout has very pink ears. The bunny ears are pink. It’s a no brainer.
I got them at Target a couple of years ago for a dollar. Well worth it, I say.
She needs a bath. Next week.
Thanks so much for all your thought provoking responses to yesterday’s post. Wow. You women are amazing and inspiring.
More egg cups:
Left: My most valuable, in terms of price, egg cup. The stamp on the bottom says ©1937 W.D. Ent, Made in Japan. I have seen some of the other dwarfs and Snow White online, but they come up for auction very rarely and they go for a lot of money. It’s a dream of mine to get the whole collection someday. I can’t remember now how I managed to acquire Doc. I know it was on eBay and the price wasn’t outrageous, so I assume it was all in the timing.
Right: Humpty Dumpty from Mansell Porcelain/England. I love this one and I had to stalk eBay repeatedly until I finally managed to snag it.
I have one more that will be shown on A Favorite Thing later today. Thanks so much for letting me share this collection with you.
Pocillovy: collecting egg cups
Since I’ve been running this series, I’ve been scanning eBay and I’m thinking of expanding my collection. Perhaps souvenir egg cups? Or more transferware egg cups? Or beautiful china pattern egg cups? Or all of the above?
Happy Friday.
haha! too funny!
Poor Scout!
Oh Scout. You poor baby. The things you have to put up with for your mommy’s entertainment.
Claudia, I love the Humpty Dumpty Egg Cup ! of all that you have shown this is my absolute favorite.
It’s pretty cool, isn’t it?
Ha Ha Ha, she looks like she wants to put you in time out! She looks adorable! I can see how much you truly love and Cherish her. -Judy A-
I do, Judy.
Poor Scout. But he sure is cute!
Yes indeed!
Thanks so much for sharing the photo of Easter Bunny Scout. I’ve had a couple of tough days around here – and I sure needed that chuckle. THANK YOU SCOUT for putting up with the indignity! I promise you it was worth it for this blog reader.
So sorry to hear you’ve had a tough time, Deb. I’m am very happy that Scout cheered you up a bit!
I do feel for Scout, she looks angry, especially in that 4th pic. Do you have antlers for her for Christmas? That was a great post yesterday…and great responses! It was nice to know that how I feel, is also how other women feel…of a certain age.
Your egg cups are quite the collection! ;)
We used to have antlers back in San Diego, but I don’t know what happened to them. I so enjoyed reading everyone’s comments to that post.
ScoutBunny, you are adorable!!!!!!!! Claudia, I can see why you inflict those ears on Scout, they are perfect together! If you decide to expand your egg cup collection my suggestion that you acquire any and all that make your heart jump. I seriously love the Humpty Dumpty one. I can just imagine that with an egg in it, especially one with the top broke off. :-)
Humpty Dumpty seems pretty popular today!
I doubt Scout is as abused as she wants us to think she is.
I bought the same bunny ears! The headband part is too big for the dogs’ heads, so I cut off the ends and threaded elastic through the casing. Poor Ruby and Daniel.
I bet Ruby and Daniel felt about the same way Scout felt!
Scout, you don’t look happy about it, but you do make a very cute bunny!
Scout says thank you!
Oh why do we do these things to the ones we love the most? giggle!!
Because it makes us laugh!
Poor Scoutie! You got really good poses but she might be planning revenge!
Oh, she’ll find a way to get back at me!
I am forbidden by DD of dressing the pooches..but I love to..Justice tolerates it like a lady..Howie goes nuts!
Don used to put his t-shirts on the dogs. They hated it!
Claudia, Poor Scout…LOL. I love your egg cups…if ever I should find one of the drawfs or snow white, I will remember you. I wish I could remember what the first egg cups I ever saw where like. I remember it was the lady and gentleman that I have always thought of as grandparents. Mrs. Russell would make soft boiled eggs for her and her husband. I was too squimish to eat them…..so she hard boiled one for me.:):) Happy Easter to you and Don. xoxo, Susie
I would have to have a hard boiled egg at this point in my life. I used to eat soft boiled eggs, but I’m not so crazy about them now!
My Pom feels the same way about the antlers at Christmas! Had not thought of bunny ears for him! Oh, Leo!!!!!!
I see some bunny ears in your pom’s future!
Oh Scout! You are simply adorable. You need to tolerate Mommies foolilsh antics. It makes her happy to see those ears on your pretty face!
Happy Easter!
Blessings,
Betsy
Scout says to tell you that it’s only because I feed her that she puts up with this rigmarole!
What an adorable Scout Bunny! LOL..Thanks for the laugh..she looks precious..The Disney egg cup probably is the most valuable but I am loving the Humpty Dumpty..Hugs to poor little Scouty.
She is a cutie, even when she’s unhappy with me.
Indignity, indeed. too funny.
:)
Laura
Poor little Scout!
Adorable! If looks could kill on that last one…I think you stopped just in time! My cats would tear me to shreds trying to that and I have the scars to prove it..LOL! I so enjoy all your blogs and pics but none more than your sweet Scout.
Love the Humpty Dumpty egg cupe!
I think she looks like she could cheerfully throttle my neck!
Silly Scout – but cute. Love the humpty dumpty egg cup – can’t wait to see if you find more. Happy Easter.
Humpty Dumpty is winning the popularity contest.
Awww, Scout – you’re so cute wit the bunny ears! Thanks for putting up with this!
Once a year, Scout says. I just have to put up with this once a year.
She has the perfect coloring for a bunny! Happy Easter, Claudia. xo
Happy Easter to you, Barbara.
That is just hysterical. A little take off on the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” maybe? lol Love it-xo Diana
I think you’re right, Diana!
I think Mr. Humpty Dumpty may be one of my favorites. Hunting vintage egg cups on eBay is my kind of egg hunt!
Scout’s a good sport ~ hope she gets something special in her Easter basket. xo
I don’t think she will, Susy. No Easter Baskets here – and her dad is leaving that day for a long trip!
Scout looks so happity (as in hoppity) in the pictures. I could’t even get bunny ears on any of my dogs, they shook them off as I woud try to put them on.
About yesterday’s great post and great answers. I tried to post and kept getting cut off, so I gave up. I just wanted to say that I think we all slack off stuff as we get older. I certainly have. After all these years of wearing curlers to bed, I’ve noticed that my hair now looks the same and most times better when I just wash is and comb in place. Wish I had known this years ago. As long as I have sun screen and a bit of coverup, I feel like I have make up on. Of course vision not being what is used to be, I think I look fine. I do like to shop for clothes still, but my taste is definitely more casual. It’s good to be comfortable.
I agree, Carol Ann.
Gosh, I forgot about wearing curlers to bed! It seems so strange to me now. My mom wore them to bed all the time and they were the uncomfortable, bristly ones! Yikes. I’m glad you don’t have to wear them anymore!
Easter bunny Scout…she’s so cute! You have the greatest egg cup collection. I don’t want a huge collection only because I have nowhere to put them, but you had me looking on eBay the other day at vintage egg cups, and ummm…I bought one, lol. Only because this one was milk glass – which I collect – and had a hand wrapped around it. I have a “thing” for hand decor.
I’ve seen those milk glass egg cups, Melanie! Post a photo when you receive it, okay? I’d love to see it.
Oh, that is too, too funny! But, she looks absolutely adorable…..did you try explaining that to her? Give that sweet girl a hug for me please. Hugs, Debi
I tried to tell her that, Debi, but she was having none of it!
Claudia, I have to tell you that your blog is my favorite. Every time I read it I feel like we could sit down and spend the afternoon chatting over coffee. Someday…and Brenda can come too! Thank you for sharing your life with us. You are a special part of my day.
Easter Blessings!
Clara
Clara I feel the same way, Like we would be friends for sure,if we lived close. That is part of the reason her blog is so great! pure TALENT. Have a great evening Clara, and Claudia!! -Judy A-
Judy,
We’ll have to plan for coffee someday. Yes, her talent amazes me and she is so humble. Thanks for the comment Judy!
Clara
Tell Scout to join us for Pink Saturday. She looks perfect.
I am loving your Humpty Dumpty.
Scout is a very good sport! We got one of those reindeer antler dog headbands and Buddy didn’t much cotton to it, either. The Maggie bunny project will be PERFECT for you to do in Hartford! Lots of little projects on it, very portable, lots of hand sewing — and Mabel will b there with you for the dress! Yes, Minnie Bell purrs along, I really enjoyed using her. I read your post on accepting yourself with interest. I was pretty as a young woman and always wore eyeliner and used it always when I went out in public – until about 5 years ago and it started irritating my eyes – so I gave it up and just twirl my hair up into a barrette and have let it silver naturally. I’m happy and comfortable this way and I look like a proper grandmother. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Scout is a good sport! Good girl, Scout!
I would imagine that Frida would look cute in bunny ears, but she would never put up with it. The Santa dress her first Christmas was enough for her!
I love your egg cups – keep ’em coming!
Scout! You have my permission to go nip at Claudia’s hee;s for that one! We dogs have to stick together!
Mini Hugs From.
Spike!
Bella said to send Scout her sympathy!!
Judy
Scout sweetie – stay all pretty doggie. Tell mom to dump the ears, or let your dad wear them to Prague!
Meanwhile dear Claudia – you have the best collection I’ve seen – love the Humpty Dumpty! Did I ever tell you I was Happy in SW&T7D’s? It was a Sunday School production at age 8 or so – we had rehearsed for weeks and first night was a bummer as the rest of the dwarfs came down with the measles! I never caught it, or any other childhood disease – guess I was a favorite for stage shows as they knew I’d always show up without a rash!
Yes, yes keep on collecting – they are really fabulous.
Happy Easter to you, Don and Scout – Mary
Actually, Scout looks happy..that is a smile I see!
funny little dog! I must say that sometimes play in a similar way with mine.
OH Scout is a good sport…and a cutie patootie, too!
Oh, woe is Scout!! (But so cute….) I love her “You’re kidding, right?” face in the first picture. These two egg cups are wonderful, but I truly love Mr. Dumpty. (His Beau Brummel yellow tight slacks are hilarious!?) I vote for transferware or China pattern ones for your future purchases, but that’s just me! I hope you had a lovely Easter Day. x
Simply adorable! I wouldn’t be able to resist doing it either.
