A new collection “Children with a Key Around their Neck”.

The bear is 20 cm height.
Made of european vintage plush. The nose is embroidered with cotton threads. The bear is tinted with art oil paints. Able to stand and sit. Stuffed with sawdust. Hands, legs and head are movable on a cotter pin.
Single copy.

The collection's history:
I was looking through postcards from the series “Children in N. Zhukov’s Drawings.” Very touching sketches, girls in short dresses, bows in pigtails, boys in shirts and dark short shorts.
I remembered my childhood... We were all dressed the same way and walked from morning to evening in the yard with friends, wandered around the city wherever we wanted until it got dark, and you are 10.
Sometimes you come, your parents have already gone to bed. Generation X (or “children with a key around their neck” Seryozha, Sasha, Sveta, Lenochka). I remember under my yellow cotton dress this cold, heavy, iron key on a red rope (my mother crocheted it).
Then the new parents were asked the question:
- Who was born to you, a boy or Lenochka?
These names are not in fashion now.
We were happy because it was childhood. Our children and grandchildren live differently and they have their own happiness. Sometimes they talk about Soviet times with nostalgia, but not because it was good there, it was just our childhood and youth.
Before going to bed, my grandson always asks: - Tell me how you were little. Sometimes these are stories to order, because he already knows them all by heart.
These memories prompted the creation of a new collection, “Children with a Key Around their Neck”. I hope not only me will like these bears.
