oldted0091.jpgoldted0071.jpgoldted0041.jpg100_13131.jpg100_13111.jpgthis is an old chiltern bear that my mums friend found in his loft and was about to take to the tip before my mum quickly chastised him!
he has his old lable " chiltern hygenic toys"
but he was low on stuffing, his head had fell off and his ear was hanging off from the back, as well as having a very poorly foot.
His eyes were very badly scratched.
iv given him some little repairs, trying to keep him as traditional as possible.
His eyes are now black glass which i have sanded to give an old matt boot button effect.
i didnt repai his nose as, i wanted to keep some of the vintage character.
i think hes been given a new lease of life and an apple a day keeps the doctor away! and he not in the tip!
just wanted to share my new little treasure xxx

Lucky Kim and lucky bear. How sad that would have been for him to have been thrown out like that. Give him a big hug from me and treasure him always. You have done a great job there Kim.

thanks for the lovely comments, im going to have to find somewhere dust free for him, theres not may of those places in my house!!tut-tut, rather than him getting dusty or sly choccy cuddles from the native small people, he may have to be put away for safe keeping x
