This is my teddy bear. He is about 40 years old. His left arm is lame due to being hugged and loved over the years. The left arm is also slightly shorter due to being sewn back in the wrong place after the sawdust had come out.He is a well-travelled bear and has slept in many hotel rooms throughout europe. He used to have an enviable knitted wardrobe of clothing and would have a new knitted suit for each yearly excursion. His bed was usually improvised when abroad and he would have a paper tissue for his blanket (after all he didn't want to be bogged down with heavy bedding whilst in a hot climate.)
Can you guess the name of my teddy? Well I'll give you a clue by showing you behind his left ear. He used to be this colour all over.
His name was and still is........................ GOLDIE!
Goldie looks very much loved. Take care of him, he's very cute. Have a lovely weekend

Goldie is so cute! I love him. ;-) Sal
ReplyDeleteMy old teddy bear has been relegated to the back of my wardrobe now, but he is still there, eyeless and bald, bless him!
ReplyDeleteI can't ever remember naming him though.
I love Goldie! I have a stuffed dog named Scraps who has to be one of the best-travelled stuffed animals ever. He has gone on every trip with me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you still have Goldie.
I think Goldie looks rather cute with his arm sewn back slightly wonky, it makes him even more lovable! x
ReplyDeleteBless, Unfortunately my teddy had to go to teddy bear heaven a few years ago. Somehow he got damp and became infested with mould and we couldn't save him :-(

He's a sweet bear! He must have so many stories to tell with all those adventures! Gxx
ReplyDeleteaww. I have my baby teddy still as well. I love that he travels with you. It's so important to hang on to a little of that childhood.
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous!!!! What size is he? He looks really small. I still have my teddy that I was given when I was 2 and he currently lives in Fred's bed - but he is huge! And has the very original name of "Ted"!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he wonderful - I recently blogged about my first teddy too! http://rachaelrabbit.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-first-teddy.html

ReplyDeleteThe old chewed teddies are the best!
