Hi, in response to Jayne(http://countrycottagechic.blogspot.com)and/ her challenge of doing a post on our favourite teddy or toy, here are just a couple of pics of our motley crew who sit quietly on Poppy's cupboard.The old boy in the centre is mine, the 'old bear ' on the right is my sons which he was given by a dear friend on the morning he was born.The teddy on the left is Andy's which he has had since birth.Also residing there is Rabbie, friend and confidant to Ted,Winnie the pooh and a dragon commemorating The Prince of Wales investiture in Caernarvon in 1969.
As you can see, Ted's no 'Steiff ', but as a child I loved him dearly, he was my friend, comforter and councillor all rolled in to one. I'll keep him always.What about you? why not join in this trip down memory lane?If you do, please let me know so I can come visit your past. It's cuddly fun!! Annie x

Lovely picture of all your treasured teddies on top of the cupboard. I think this is a great "challenge" and will post about my beloved childhood toy "Monkey" today.
Your cat Rufus is adorable!
I love your cherished teddy collection Annie..

Ah, I wish I still had a childhood toy..In fact, there is nothing left from my childhood, which I find hard to understand..i couldn't imagine not holding on to my children's favourite teddys and toys!
