Abner The Bear

A couple of weeks ago I went thrift shopping on a Sunday and found a couple of goodies and this big, pink bear in the middle was one of them. I wanted to show you all three bears so you could see how big he is. He's pink and black and was only $12!!!! I don't run across these vintage bears very often. He had a little note pinned to him and this is what it said...........

My name is Abner and I am over 50 years old and need a nice retirement home(so of course-that's with me!)

  3. Your bears do not need a retirement home. They already have one of the best.

  4. Rebecca, how could anyone resist adopting Abner and bringing him home and he has friends; tattered and torn, beaten and battered, are those stuffed toys that were loved. Terri www.morningdewdrops.typepad.com

  5. Happy Pink Saturday Rebecca Sweetie...
    Oh Abner is so stinkin cute. I too love bears. My husband is going to be 65 in September and he still has the Teddy that he got when he was adopted as a baby. It has all the fuzziness worn off of him from love.

    The color is quite unusual so I can see why you fell in love with this one. Pink of course.

    A precious share. I hope you aren't working to hard this weekend sweetie. I think of you when I see pink, as your love for pink is SO strong. Hope you have a great day. Many hugs and SO much love, Sherry

  6. That is so sweet. I think Abner is darling. We found a stuffed dog at the Park Mall (the dumpster) and couldn't just leave him there. We're just too tender hearted, aren't we.

  7. Hi Rebecca,

    What a great find...and I know Mr. Abner is thrilled to have found such a wonderful retirement home. ♥ I think I had the one on the left side of Abner.

    Happy Day to you,
    Stephanie ♥

    THAT IS JUST TOO CUTE...DID HE COME WITH HIS LITTLE SUITCASE PACKED...LOL
    I CAN SEE WHY YOU ADOPTED HIM. THAT WAS JUST TOO SWEET.
