Old Bears

These bears are all old friends. From the right there is my teddy from the 1930's - a constant companion. Next to him is Morag who is a Chiltern Hugmee from the 1920's and beside her is Torag a Merrythought bear probably 1940's. Next to him is Floppy who is home made and found looking sad and unwanted at a car boot sale. At the end is Peter who was found on a Dutch market stall. He is stuffed with wood shavings like the others so I presume he must be old like them. The little one was a gift from a friend who knew I liked bears and she said she wanted me to take care of him.
Even though they they are old, battered and somewhat bare bears they have a certain charm from years gone by.
