"Bears need people. People need bears."

When looking at photos on my disc today

I have found this cute pic of Mana with a Teddy bear.

And one of the cutest Gackt's pic♥

After it I decided to get to know more about

teddy bears' history in general. 

Probably most of you know

that Teddy Bears in a form we know them today

have been created in two different part of world.

On one site we have America with the story about Theodore Roosevelt

(thanks to him we call them teddy bears), who refused to kill 

an innocent bear.

On the other, there is Richard Steiff

with his company. 

More history you can read here. 

BTW Steiff bears are still produced

and are quite expensive.

They remind me these old-school bears

from IW prints

These things were not new to me.

But I have no idea that the comeback of

bears'craze has started thanks to an actor Peter Bull

who declared his love for teddy bears

and write a book Bear with me.

Today it is called

The Teddy bear book.

Age simply doesn't enter into it! 

The older the friend, the more he is valued, 

particularly when he shows so visibly the characteristics that we all look for in friends. 

You have only to look at a genuine teddy's face to see at once the loyalty, 

common sense, and above all, dependability behind it.

There is so many quotes about Teddy bears.

They really moved me to tears.

Bears sleep by day. At night they stay awake to chase away bad dreams.

Jesse O'Neil 

Once a bear has been loved by a human being, its expression is forever marked.

My first teddy bear.

I had three months when my grandma 

bought him.

Teddy -Vidoll's song

(Good night good night
my teddy who is always by my sight

you were my first friend)

An experienced Teddy Bear brings with him a lifetime of knowledge and experience; the wisdom of silence and the stillness in moments of great turmoil. The long-suffering patience that is learned when belonging to a child who is coming of age, and coping with the bewilderment that this period of time can bring, is what he does best. The experienced bear has seen life through the heart and eyes of a child grown to adulthood and perhaps even accompanied that adult all the way to the end of the road.

It really made me into sentimental mood.

How about organizing Teddy Bears' picnic?

Do you know this old song?

Meta when creating Honey picnic print 

was probably inspired by it.

Let's make Teddy bear party! 

And a little out of topic

but just look at these sneakers! 

They are made by Adidas

in collaboration with Jeremy Scott
