September 9, 2010 ~ It's Teddy Bear Day

I don't have any plush bears from my childhood, but I do have this ceramic cutie that was made for me by my aunt.  I've always loved this and I've had it for as long as I can remember. 
Teddy bears are such a comfort, to young and old alike, it's great to have a whole day just to honor them. 
Stuffed bears have been around a lot longer then the name "Teddy Bear" which was coined by Morris Michtom of the Ideal Novelty and Toy company.  Michtom was inspired by a political cartoon of President Theodore Roosevelt on a hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902.
There are so many great ideas for incorporating the Teddy into your festivities for the day...search the internet and you'll be overwhelmed.  This one caught my eye...
