Off on her travels

Leaving Home is often a painful time.I’ve often heard worse for those left behind..

So many lovely people have written to me and told of their reaon for buying memory chest bear.One of the loveliest ones I've heard is of a young girl leaving her Mum for university:The daughter was given the bear and she placed inside his heart a miniture bottle of the perfume her Mum always wore.She said whenever I need to have you close,I take the perfume out and smell you here,I hug my bear and the comfort I get settles me...How lovely.

I had a little princess
She didn’t have a crown
I gave to her some treasures
She wouldn’t put them down
A little piece of cotton
cut from a favourite dress
A curl tied up with ribbon,
from hair,always a mess
These things,well,they cost nothing
But nothing could replace
The memories sketched forever
upon this princess face
