"Teddies go everywhere and do everything. There is not a corner of the globe that they have not penetrated, if not with children then with adults. Their appeal is universal and to all ages. They have gone into battle on guns, tanks, and in haversacks; saved lives by incepting bullets...are used extensively in advertising campaigns; collected by film stars, ballerinas and actresses; used as mascots and talismans; had endless books, songs, and verses written about them; are taken to hospitals; are indeed a part of our everyday life..." Margaret Hutchings.
"Teddy bears are so versatile; they can be traveling companions, shoulders to cry on...alter egos, especially appealing decorations, playthings, bedfellows-godness, what other creatures (flesh-and-blood or fibre-filled) can play so many varied roles?!" Victoria Marsden.
"Teddy bears like to go on morning picnics in the summertime, so they can enjoy the sunshine before it it too hot for their furry selves." Abigail Darling.
"Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping a moment and think of it. And then, he feels that perhaps there isn't. Anyhow, here he is at the bottom, and ready to be introduced to you. Winnie-the-Pooh." A.A. Milne.
"Does Tussah Bear have a philosophy on life? I think so. It's something like, 'Love hard and only one person; stay with them as long as they want you, and never leave them alone. Be prepared to venture out into the world with them, never be afraid.'" Jennifer Paulson.
Stay tuned, more to come!
