Je Suis Paris
I know this is a little late, but after the horrific events in Paris Friday night, I just couldn’t bring myself to post this as I had planned on Saturday.
~ Animated teddies from Sevenoaks Art ~
After being glued to CNN for most of the weekend, I feel the need for something a little lighthearted and fun, so I hope you’ll indulge me. Besides, you know what? It’s never too late to celebrate Teddy Bear Day!
If you go down to the woods today
You’re in for a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You’d better go in disguise!
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain,
Because today’s the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.
~ Lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy ~
~ Illustration by Michael Hague ~
I stopped there because I’ve always found the rest of the song a little scary.
Please remember on today of all days you’re never too old to have a teddy bear!
~
My bear Philbin
~
Even gorgeous vampires have a softer side!
~
It’s Ted! Need I say more?
~
Okay. I have to admit, this is a little obsessive!
~
Even boy bands need some downtime.
~
It can’t be a surprise that Ellen’s a Teddy Bear fan.
~
And finally, because I know you probably never thought I’d be able to tie in cuddly teddies with the Winchester brothers from Supernatural, well think again!
And one more ’cause this just never gets old!

Lovely post Kims! Completely understandable you halted it for a while, but I’m sure you glad you posted 🙂
Some great gifs and pics! I’d love the one of the teddy bears in the forest setting on my living room wall!

“And on Thursdays we are teddy bear doctors” is one of my favorite SPN quotes, it has me in stitches every time.
We definitely need something light after Friday, nicely done.

Nothing wrong with teddy bears. I still have a few plushies around my room and bed 🙂 And is it just me or in the Supernatural pic, is he using psychic paper (like in Doctor Who)? (I’ve not watched Supernatural – yet – so I don’t really know much about that).

I have my Philbin. He’s great when I’m stressed out. Unfortunately that’s not psychic paper, but how cool would that be if it were!

Cute! You know, I don’t think I have a teddy bear. Although, now that I think of it, if I had a stuffed animal of any sort, it’s gone into a dog’s mouth and stayed there until the stuffing popped out and the eyes got gouged out and the ears torn off, and the tail mauled…
