A coming home of sorts.




YOu know how I feel about bears and being loved and cuddled and worn away , the more loved and worn a bear is the more beautiful. That the signs of love and time and life on him, his scars make him who he is ( and us who we are) and all the more "valuable" and beautiful..
I received a phone call from a family friend who had bought each of her boys one of my bears, 5 and 3 years ago respectively. Both boys were distressed as both their teddies were in a bit of need of repair. And would I be will to do it. ( of course I would)
To see two of my bears already very loved and cuddled in their relatively short live is a dream come true, is a big part of why i do it, and inspires me more than ever to keep going.

How wonderful it must be to have those two come visit their birthplace and spend a little time with you! What a great story, I like it very much.

That first bear has absolutely stolen my hear! His little tummy, it's too much! I love him!! They look so well loved, it's hard to believe the boys could part with them long enough to have repairs done!

I reckon coming back to your home for a wee while, would feel a bit the same as it did when I'd just moved out of home and I'd go back to Mum's place for a Sunday roast.
