Running Bear and not the Indian!

I was delighted to find this treasure of a bear. What else could he be called but Teddy? As you can see, he is fawn with contrasting mid brown paws.
He is fully jointed at the neck, shoulders and hips so poses readily. He can sit and wave, go for a run or just look like an antique friend waiting to play.
Teddy has a stiffened satin bow trimmed with gold thread and looks like a toy passed down from my Grandma. As I found him hiding on an online auction, though, it seems he came from the Grandma of someone else.

A Grey Fluffy Cat Toy

My collection of fluffy plush cat toys has increased considerably past what I intended! I have all sorts of animals in all sorts of colours to share with you. This first one is a cute grey cat I bought at an online auction. Her feet are embossed with pink paw pads and she has bright green button eyes. This kitty I have named Sunny because she is sold by a company called Sunwood International. Not every one of my toys has a name but many do. Sunny has a small sister I shall introduce another day.
