Molly Bear
created in the antique nostalgia of yester-year.
Molly is a bear that brings back a time that is lost to most of us.A time gone by that is mostly forgotten.
A time of innocence and simplicity.
A time where delights were found in the smallest of trinkets and books were read by
by the flicker of candle light.
I enjoy creating my bears with a sense of olden days, but Molly was especially a bear birthed of dusty memories fromyears past. Her stitching and distressed fur are the telling of a tale. A long story left by a bear who has survived the passing
of many years and portrays the sparkle of wisdom that comes only from those bears who have been loved deeply and forgotten by
their aging humans and then destined to be lost or rediscovered by yet another young child.
I had difficulty finding old attic pictures to correlate the scene in my imagination when I dream of the kind of forgone attic a musty ole' bear lay hidden away awaiting discovery. The best I could do was this rather dirty and empty attic. Comparatively, my mind dances with images of sheet draped antique furniture stacked against the walls reflecting through an elaborate full length pedestal mirror sitting regally atop a splintery wooden floor that moans and creaks with each careful step. Every inch piled with old papers, decorated boxes and smelly moth eaten nightgowns hanging against the slightest bit of sunlight filtering through the small dusty window that barely manages to light the old forgotten room.Yet, somewhere buried amongst the old dilapidated inhabitance of this musty den, lay hidden a treasure of pure delight. If only the small carved wooden and leather box that lay just out of view and wedged slightly behind the dust ladened bookshelf could speak with some sort of magical spell. It would most certainly cry out to the first curious child that happened near the old library shelf looking to find the perfect hiding place from the hide and seeker. Lo, the silent box lay in timeworn stillness hoping soon enough the ordinary container with extraordinary contents will be discovered, until then she lingers and.....Molly bear waits for her next keeper.
Molly is one of those bears who has been loved by many children over the years, each treasuring her as the pride of their
childhood companions, and each was careful to pass her to another when the time came.
childhood companions, and each was careful to pass her to another when the time came.
Molly deeply loved each of her children more than anything and cherished their friendship and still holdsthem dear to her soul. In her old wise heart, she has learned to look for the adventure. No longer does she look back
and think of where she has been and who she misses. A new day brings new journeys for little bears. Onward she travels
on her newest journey with a tale to tell.
One very treasured item Molly has kept with her throughout all her adventures and the passing of time
is her most special antique dolly.
Molly is a medium bear of 12" tall.
As with all Bramblewood Bears, Molly has double stitched seams for strength so she will last for years to come, making
her of true heirloom quality.
Molly will be available for adoption on Ebay until November 26th.
