A treasured possession

Today’s Friday Club Carnival from Notes at Home is a Treasured Possession.

I chose my childhood bear. It’s probably the oldest thing I own that was mine. I think it was given to me when I was born so is doing well considering it is thirty *cough* eight years old. It is well loved (worn out). Has endured a chewing from our childhood dog (a crazy beagle called Tess), and has had a bit of cosmetic surgery, courtesy of my mum. Buttons for eyes and lots of stitching.

I can’t imagine any of my children keeping something like this through into adulthood. They do seem to have far too many possessions that would be lucky to make it until the end of the week, let alone the end of child hood.

My neighbour has just caught me taking photos of Ted through the conservatory window. She thinks I’m mad already, I have just confirmed her suspicions!
