Can this be Winnie the Pooh himself? For sale at the Broc Troc in Menton last weekend.
'Pooh,' said Rabbit kindly, 'you haven't any brain.'
'I know,' said Pooh humbly.
'I know,' said Pooh humbly.

Est-ce Winnie l'Ourson lui-même ? Il était en vente au Broc-Troc à Menton le week-end dernier.
'Ourson,' a déclaré Lapin gentiment, 'tu n'as pas de cerveau.'
'Je sais,' a répondu l'ourson humblement.

I have an old bear almost like this, a button-in-the-ear Steiff one, just like the one on this site, but without the sailor blouse and although Steiff toys are pricey, I am sure my parents didn't pay that much!
ReplyDeletea very old and much beloved fellow.
ReplyDeleteA favorite of many children. My kids, grandkids, and even my dogs who claim Pooh for themselves have loved him over the years...only ours is a mellow, honey yellow.
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Pooh, he has a bit of a sore foot!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I'll bet many of your readers still have their childhood bears.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very old bear.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest shot today!
ReplyDeleteOh what love this bear has probably known. Love the Milne quote . . . tiddely pom.
ReplyDeleteThe animal of the most huggable kind. So original.
ReplyDeleteA second-hand teddy - charming!
ReplyDeleteIf you are interested in seeing the original stuffed toys that belonged to Christopher Robin Milne, they are on display in the Central Children's Room at the New York City Library at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue.
ReplyDeleteThey were taken to the U.S. as part of a promotion tour for the books, and never made it back to England.
Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI have an old Steiff one, too, who I knitted a red pullover ages ago.
