Perspicuously Pink

You may, or may not, know that I am an arctophile - that's someone who likes/collects teddy bears, and not some kind of deviant!  My teddies are all limited editions - some are totally unique.  Consequently, they are rather expensive to buy (hence my small collection).  My lovely American friend, Tobyann, recently sent me a 'sleuth' (collective noun for bears) of adorable miniature teddies that needed a new home!  There were eleven in total, in various colours and sizes - the smallest are only 1½" tall.  I promised her that I would post a photograph of them once I'd cleared some room in my cabinets to make way for them.  I found the camera yesterday so took the opportunity to take a few pics.  This isn't the whole collection as the batteries ran out on the camera before I could snap them all, but here are the bears that Tobyann sent me.  Thankyou Tobyann - I will treasure them always!

And these are some of my other bears - they measure only 6" tall, made mostly of mohair and filled with lead shot to give them weight.
