Around the 1-year anniversary of Angry Pear, I looked back through this blog and was surprised that I had forgotten about some of these pear posts. I had intended to re-post a few of my favorites from the past year closer to the anniversary, but I just didn’t get around to it. So I’m doing it now. Click on the titles to see the full post. Enjoy!
“I think it should go on the other side.”
“Careful!”
“A few inches to the right.”
“Maybe the first spot was better.”
April’s Pear of the Month is a tie between Pears like Romance Novels and Royal Wedding Party! Apparently pears like both passionate reads and a good Royal spectacle!
Thanks to everyone who voted!
“Thanks for having me.”
“Wait. You forgot your shawl.”
“Hmmm.”
“Oooo!”
“Would you meet me this afternoon at the train?”
“I wonder why she wants me to meet her?”
“Maybe she’s going to take me out for dinner.”
“Would you help me carry these?”
It’s time to vote for Pear of the Month! I’ve selected a list of candidates, but feel free to write in any pears from April. Click the thumbnails below to see the full post, then place your vote using the poll on the sidebar. Voting will end in about one week.

It’s been a whole year since Angry Pear started! In celebration, why not take inspiration from the very first post (“pears enjoy cocktails and conversation… pears also like picnics“) and stay home from work, go on a picnic and sip cocktails? I can’t think of a more pearish way to celebrate!
Angry Pear may not like getting older…
But she does wine and cake!
“MOVE!!!”
“We just got these in from Paris.”
“Very stylish and unique!”

This photo shoot was inspired by the extraordinary film Night of the Lepus, in which a plague of giant rabbits terrorize the American Southwest. If you haven’t seen it, I urge you to check it out.
“Ahhhhh!”
I was delighted when Kate from IllustrateKate asked if she could do a feature about Angry Pear with a Q&A portion.

Be sure to poke around Kate’s blog and gallery. She’s a very talented artist, and her blog showcases her work as well as the work of other fantastic artists. It was a real honor to participate in her first feature. Thanks Kate!
It’s nice to leave work early. It’s not so nice to leave just as school is getting out.
“You’re late!”
“Slow and steady wins the race.”
Awhile ago, I posted a Magician Pear (and his lovely assistant). Here is their first trick:
“Thank you all for coming! That’s the end of our show.”
It’s a bit late in March to be thinking back to February (a month most of us would like to forget), but it is time to vote for best pears of that cold, dark month. Here is a list of candidates, but feel free to write-in any pear that appeared in February. Use the poll in the sidebar to cast your vote.

“Hey! Those are my cookies!”
…
“The Sophisticate”
The simplicity of draping in this look oozes elegance and grace– perfect for a dinner party or an evening at the opera.
“The Sash”
Tying the scarf around the midsection not only compliments the pear figure, it creates a fun, flirty look that says, “I’m up for whatever!”
“Incognito”
Every pear deserves time out of the spotlight. Throw on a pair of shades, and you’re ready to strut down Rodeo Drive in blissful anonymity.
Paris Fashion week Ready-to-Wear is on from March 1-9. In honor of this, I’ll be posting eight looks featuring one scarf.
Day 1: “Classic”
Easy to throw on, this look is instant chic.
A few weeks ago, two pears found themselves fighting over the same scarf. The quarrel grew heated and the scarf was torn in two. (Read the full post here.)
Recently, at a party:
“You won’t believe what happened to me while I was shopping the other day. I found this lovely scarf…”
Meanwhile, in another room:
“…and this horrible pear ripped it right out of my hands. So I tied what was left into this bow.”
A little while later:
“It’s you!”
And his lovely assistant.
“We need to have a serious, mature and fair talk about our relationship.”
“I’ve prepared a list of grievances.”
A little while ago, this pear discovered a leak in her ceiling (click here to read the first post), and she took the day off of from work to deal with the catastrophe:
“Keep it down! I’m trying to hear Regis!”
