Folksy Friday - Teddy bears

Ever since I was little I've loved teddy bears. I have loads in bin bags in my parents' loft that they frequently threaten to get rid of. In fact, some did recently get re-homed via a Sainsbury's collection - my mum tried very hard to convince me that they would much prefer to be loved by a small child than stuck in her loft. Now I'm an adult I just have my collector's items out on display, mostly handmade bears. I've sneaked them in all round the house when my husband wasn't looking...!

So I thought I'd have a look on Folksy for teddy bears. Knitted, sewn, printed, photographed or painted, here are my favourites:
