Teddy Bear Photo Shoot

Something special that comes out
at Christmas time at my house
is a furry little bear,
who sits in a doll rocker
near the fireplace,
and makes me very happy because....

 

....this little bear was made from my mother's mink stole

I  had a larger bear made for my sister,

and the sweet lady who created it

 

surprised me with a smaller one

made from the leftover materials

The pads of his little feet are from the lining of the jacket.

 

                                                                      

For me, part of the makings of a Merry Christmas

is the nostalgia of Christmas's past,

family traditions, childhood memories, old photos,

and reflecting on happy times with loved ones.

 There are other bears in the house

[in the no-husband-traffic-zone]

sitting atop a hanky box

And this loved-to-pieces Teddy was mine as a little girl!

He once had a squeaker tummy. Ha! and fur

And this is the darling little girl he belonged to

                                                    

I still have that crocheted dress too (somewhere)
