Bear-ly Poetic Take 2, The Lighter Side

Sometimes the quirky humor gets carried over into the poetic side of me.  Sometimes I'm vanilla, sometimes I'm chocolate, and sometimes I'm a "twist" (these are references to ice cream cones in case you did not recognize the term "twist").  Today I will share with you some of the lighter side of my poetry that accompanies, and sometimes defines, my teddy bear gifts.

Friendship Angel Bear

First, Friendship Angel Bear, dressed in a gold satin dress and trimmed in gold, comes with a lighthearted, but heart felt poem that reads:

Friendships, be they young or old

Are worth more than their weight in gold.

Simple, to the point, and the point driven home with the gold dress and trim.

Sister Angel Bear

A similar gift is the Sister Angel Bear.  This poem reads:

A silver thread of memories shared,

Laughter and tears together.

Sisters bound by family ties,

Now best friends forever.

Again, a simple, to the point poem that defines the overall look with the silver dress and trims.

The Menopause Angel Bear is one of my quirkiest, trying to take a humorous look at the challenges of going through menopause. This is written for all of the ladies in the sisterhood.  Poem reads:

Menopause Angel Bear

Oh Lord, help me through this day,

The "change" has not been kind.

I'm hot, I'm weepy, I'm up I'm down,

I think I'm losing my mind!

  

I've got my fan and tissue handy

Ready for what comes my way.

Watch over me, Lord, keep me sane

This is what I pray!

Garden Angel Bear

The last one for this post is Garden Angel Bear.  I admit it, I saw this fabric, loved it, and found a way to use it in a teddy bear gift.  (For a fabri-holic, the look of a fabric often trumps any other source of reasoning!)  The poem that accompanies this bear reads:

I plant the seeds, I water the rows,
But it's you, O Lord, who makes it grow.
Please send your sunshine and gift of life,
and Bless my garden day and night.

My next post might have to be on the some of the gorgeous fabrics that can drive a fabric loving person crazy!!!

Bear-ly Quirky Teddy Bear Gifts at Bear Family Gifts, LLC

It is probably safe to say that I have a rather quirky sense of humor.  I can't explain it, or defend it, it just "is what it is".  Sometimes that quirkiness spills over into teddy bear clothes and accessories.  Some of my newest quirky teddy bear gifts appear in the Get Well Teddy Bear Gifts.

Sick Day Bear

Sick Day Bear is quite adorable in her pink robe and pink slippers.  The quirky part is the thermometer in her mouth, and hankie in one hand and the prescription bottle in the other.  The thermometer and the prescription bottle are actually novelty buttons, cute as a, well, button!  The hankie is made from a scrap of fabric.  Why do I think this is cute and funny?  Because it is a miniature form of a real sick person who has decided they need to stay in bed.  Just might make a sick person smile and brighten their day.

Nightshirt Bear

I like the Nightshirt Bear because it is a little old fashioned, sort of looks like the father in "The Night Before Christmas" story.  He's got some character, and the nightshirt is cute, too.  This is really designed for a guy who needs some cheering up.

Hula Girl Bear

Now I'm going to share with you some past quirky teddy bear gifts.  Hula Girl Bear is quite the entertainment.  Like the wood version of the coconut shell bra?

Menopausal Angel Bear

Menopause Angel Bear represents real life to menopausal women.  I'm there, I understand the hot flashes and the teary moments, thus this angel bear comes with a small fan (that really works with a battery) and a small packet of tissue (real thing).  I also wrote a poem for this one.

Good Mornin' Mama Bear is just for fun.  She is a composite of various accessories that indicate it is morning.

Good Mornin' Mama Bear

The bear is dressed in a colorful house dress and has curlers in her "hair" (my teddy bears have fur, not hair, but we try to make it work).  She's got her teddy bear slippers and glasses, as well.  Also included is a tiny cup of "coffee", and a newspaper.  I think she' almost ready to start her day!  (says the lady writing this blog in her jammies!!!!! - the advantage of working from home.)
