Morgan and Elroy


Last week I received one of those emails that was so good and lovely I had to re read it a few times to make sure I hadn't got it wrong.
Deb had bought two wonky bears a while ago at an Oppy, they had appealed to her. But now cleaning out her sewing room and didn't have room for the dudes. Being a reader of this blog and knowing my fondness for wonky old toys, she asked me if I wanted them!
Firstly I could not believe the generosity of this lady whom I'd never met and until now offering to send me wonky bears ( the best sort of present).
And secondly on scrolling down to see the attached pic of my possible new family members, I couldn't believe how much lovely Deb had understood the wonky sort of wrongness that I love. ( you know by wrongness I mean it with the highest esteem)
Today the boys arrived, and they are even better in the real. I've named them Morgan ( the guy with the tiny eyes and muzzle) and Elroy ( the grey dude).
this is just another one of those gorgeous blog stories. It makes me a little teary when I think about it.
thank you so much Deb they are absolutely wonderful .

Elroy is perfect for the grey bear! And they both look much happier now that they are sitting on YOUR couch.
