This is dear little bear - Amos - the other day after a wash. I wash him once a year in Spring; usually on a hot day so he dries well.
Amos was a bought when I was working full-time at RACQ from The Endeavour Foundation for a little bit of money. He wasn't one of the toys shown to us; instead being the neglected one at the bottom of the bag the lady told me was 'the one nobody wanted'. So, I took the runt of the litter and took him home.
Since then, he's been on holidays to Brunswick Heads, in and out of hospitals and around the world to the UK with me too. Yes... this is a very well-traveled little bear. He's getting a little tattered now, but still likes to live the high life as he went to the Sunshine Coast with Mum and me in May this year.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
What a sweet little bear! Does he enjoy hanging on the line by one ear? lol Looks like being the one "nobody wanted" has turned out to be in his favor! Great shot!
@Carolyn: Not really... but it's the best one to get him dry by as it's very flexible. And the other day, it was so warm, I thought it was time to wash him in the tubs; and then spin him a little in washing machine to get the excess water out of him. :)
what a wonderful ted--i have one-- (as well as my three sisters)--they travel the world with us--!they are great conversation starters --when the four of them are sitting together--thanks for sharing your Amos!
How adorable! And on the Popular page to boot! LOL!!! I remember hanging my daughter's Cabbage Patch Kids out to dry when they would need their baths. It brought back memories, thanks for sharing.
Thank you all for your lovely comments. I have had Amos in my life for a very long time and he's been a great comfort to me when my health hasn't been the best. Now, he's just here to keep me company at night... :)
