Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you Ariane,  You're a dear!!  I will find that photo and get it scanned! xoxo  ~Jen

Dear Becky,

I have seen the website for Jelly Belly and I thought they sold jellybeans with bears later on the side...I will contact the company and see if they know anything about my bear.  Thank you for looking up the information!  I'm amazed that there are people out there with a heart that really care!  You have a beautiful day!  ~Jen

Dear Ellen, 

Tubby is very close to my Jelly Belly in regard to coloring but it's not him.  His feet were forward not pointed down.  Thank you SOOO much for getting me the picture.  I bet they were made by the same maker but like you said, the tag is gone.  I need to go through my old pictures.  I know I have a picture taken of him on my bed.  Do you think if I scan the photo and post it that would help me find him?  You have a beautiful day and take care of you!   ~Jen

I actually spent hours on ebay looking but there were over 4000 pictures to look at...Please let me know what your daughter finds out or even a picture of her bear would be great for comparison.  Thank you so much for getting back to me Ellen!    May God bless you and continue to walk with you!!

In 1981 my father bought me a Teddy Bear in Seattle, WA and gave it to me as a gift to remember him by.  I was 10 at the time.  I kept this bear with me and brought him everywhere I went when I was sleeping away from home.  I left him on accident one day at a friends house and when I went back the next day, my friend told me she had given him away to one of the kids she babysat. 

I've tried looking for him online but do not know where to start.  I am hoping there is an avid collector that can help me locate a duplicate.  I named him JellyBelly because I believe that was the name on the tag in his ear when I got him.  He's a belly-bear.  He is permanently sitting.  I'd say he was 10 - 14 inches tall.  He was brown with cream color around his snout and on the bottom of his feet and maybe the inside of his ears but not sure.  He had black thread that came from his nose down to create his smile and his eyes were plastic. 

Any help you can give me would be most beneficial.  Thank you in advance for taking time to help me.  ~Jen
