Can you imagine my JOY when I opened my mailbox to find a teddy bear envelope that came from Little Bear Road?! My family and I are going to live on Little Bear Road. I will find a house on Little Bear Road or buy the street name and own a whole street named Little Bear Road! How perfect is that for a teddy bear lover?
I hosted a “Teddy Bear Envelope Fun” swap in the “Teddy Bear Dreamers Group” on swap-bot and my partner CarlaDMG aimed to please. The envelope oozed with so much cuteness–including awesome Teddy Bears postage–that I almost forgot to open it and review its contents.

CarlaDMG pulled out a little of every-teddy-thing for the envelope. Stickers, stamps and the all-too-cute “Teddy Bears’ Picnic Lyrics.” Cute overload!
Here’s a closer look at the postage stamp:

“Stick Bear,” 1920s. Scotts #3654
“Stick Bear” is part of the four-bear collectible United States Postal Service Teddy Bears Centennial Sheet. The other three bears in the collection are: Bruin Bear #3653 (1907); Gund Bear #3655 (1948); and Ideal Bear #3656 (1905). If only this stamp had come out just a little later as a “Forever Stamp”…
And since you’re “just dying” to see the envelope’s contents–
Even more cuteness. (Click an image for a closer look).
Well, I’m off to see if there’s a street named “Teddy Bear” or “Little Bear” or “something-cute Bear” nearby. Bear hugs to you!
