Friends called today and then Paddington arrived for tea. How I am going to feed them all as I don't have enough sweets? Pa's cooking Ma's supper so he has said if I line the bears up they can have quiche & salad followed by ice cream. Where's the bibs? Henriettaxxxx
OLD BEARS TWO
EXQUISITE c1850 GOWN & BONNET SILK RIBBONS ANTIQUE BEARS
Exquisite c1850 maybe earlier gown & bonnet with duck egg silk ribbons suitable for bear up to 17/18 inches. Very good condition for age, very pretty detail, totally finely hand stitched. Gown is 15.25 inches long; underarm all way round is 18/19 inches, sleeve openings nice and wide for a bear & equally suitable for an antique doll to wear. It has a very light stain - not that noticeable to side going around to the back but it is not that visible. A whitening agent will probably remove completely. Little bonnet is gorgeous with 6 silk bows and ties. Bonnet height at front 5 inches, all round face 9.5 inches. Stunning!!!!!
