The builder backed out of the room slowly.. . ^_^ I could just see my husband doing this after seeing me cutting up stuffed animals- with a look of freaked out terror at first complete w/ of what kind of mad house hippy/zero waste crazy thing are your doing to those poor animals?!

I think there could be a business in upcycling bears that are beyond repair and turning them into new ones.

Hopefully my mum is up for the challenge :) I don't have any dolls from my childhood. No doubt my parents passed a lot of it onto other children. Somehow the bears escaped being given over to someone else and have sat in a plastic bag for 30 years!

So the...Agree, this is brave to have cut them open!<br />So the plan is actually to recycle the teddy bears into brand new ones, right? There will have even more "value" that they would be made by your mum, it's a very good idea.

But I understand how it must be: since I started living this lifestyle, I stopped giving so much importance to material things too, and I've done with them things I would have never imagined before!<br /><br />I do not keep many toys from my childhood, only about 3 dolls that that were my favorites. They do look very old, but I think in the case of dolls, old adds beauty. They still have their original clothes on, and since I love the 90s, they are beautifully vintage. If I have a daughter in the future, I'll probably give her my baby dolls.<br /><br />I also have a porcelain doll that belonged to my great-grandmother. It is a family heirloom passed from generation to generation, but he can not play ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008555516846660376noreply@blogger.com
