FROM LAVENDER SACHET TO STEIFF TEDDYBAER



We talked about lavender sachets and mohair fur and Steiff Teddybaers, my friend Dawn and I.


And I told her I have one - an old original Steiff Teddybaer - and I promised her to photograph it, and she told me in return she would love to see it!



Little did I know, that it would be so much fun to take pictures of this cute fellow!



This Teddy was given as a present to one of my daughters more than 40 years ago by my (late) sister. He is small, about 20cm high.



I crocheted the orange/green overall and sewed the patchwork vest at that time. Can you see the button in the ear? That was and is the trade mark of the original Steiff animals.

    Da hast Du ein Thema angeschnitten, das so manches Herz höher schlagen lässt. Gleich neben mir im Bücherregal sitzt, seit wir hier wohnen, ein Steiff-Frosch. Er ist ganze 4,5 cm groß. Da Frösche keine Ohren haben ist sein Knopf im linken Bein ;-)

    Schön!!!!
    Gruß, Beate

    Ich habe einen ganz kleinen zum 4. Geburtstag bekommen, der existiert auch noch! Die Steiff-Tiere hatten doch die süßesten Gesichter. Dieser ist auch ganz herzig.

    Yael, ich habe auch ncoh Steiff Tiere daheim, aber die waren damals speziell fuer Kleinkinder hergerichtet, also ohne Knopf, aber auch noch nach 35 Jahren sehen sie gut aus und jetzt spielen die Enkel damit.
