The old Teddy Bear 🧸

Some years ago I found this old Teddy bear 🧸 

A child may have had it as a Christmas present very long ago. He must have cherished it during his or her life. As I lost mine who was a white Teddy who’s had been repaired and had lost his eyes, buttons replaced them! Now I am taking care of this old Teddy and he is taking a big place in all my Christmases.

A mother must have mended him on the arms, legs and body!

I love it with his vintage ribbon round his neck

He has a friendly face

He has a scar on his back like I have with my spine cord surgery!  We were made to meet! 😆 

 

Paddington and Co !

I found this little chair in what we call an « empty house »the Teddy Bears are from a holiday in New York. 

These are antiques the pram and the child washing bassin

And finally Paddington 🐻 Bears!

Love Paddington ! Reminds me when I had to take the train at Paddington station to go to Chippenham and Bristol.

Trying to make paper roses!

( today unfortunately my washing machine is out of order! Thinking about « repair » or buy a new one???)

What about vintage toy sewing machines and French wedding photos and vintage tiles from Netherlands?

I found my tiles from Netherlands, I had them from an antique shop for one of my birthday.

I unfortunately broke one and had to mend it, but I stilllove their blue color.

 Hello friends,

Yesterday, I found some wedding vintage photos from my husband’s family and I thought it could interest you.

These are French family photos at different ages.

I found the hat and collar on the road side, I stopped my car, it was in a village where a man was selling it’s belongings in front of his house, before living the country and going to Senegal after he had retired.

It is strange sometimes to get others belongings, but I like to keep them and in a certain way take care of their memories.

I love these photos and see how different people were at different times.

I hope you enjoy looking at them! Have a nice day.

Bedroom and vintage toys

 

Today, let me show you my bedroom.

U have got some vintage toys . Here are some teddy bears the two with a hat are from FAO Swartz from New York and the other one is a hand made one from Cornwall if I remember from Polpero.

The quilt is handmade I won it from a quilt exhibition.

The vintage dress is from an antique shop. I found it with some lace I bought and did not know what it was I tried to put the pieces together and saw it was an ancient dress.

To be continued next time!

I wish you a lovely weekend!
