Captain Jones, named after the last captain of the ship’s working history. However, we renamed it Captain Paws.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

    1. Thank you, Jo! They were happy in the end but ambivalent when I first told them where we were going. It turned out to be more interesting than they expected. This only reinforces my drive to continue taking them to places they may complain about…it’s got educational value! lol

      1. They are hard to pass up – look at the teddy bear collection I amassed and it spilled over into my mom’s bedroom and the TV room, until I told my mom maybe it was time to stop … she said something to the effect that I should have stopped a long time before this! But she admitted, she was the one who bought the first one!

      2. I get you! There are too many cute selections out there. I commiserate with you and your plush collection.
        Our collection is busting at the seams and yet we still find more to bring home. It’s a condition. lol

      3. Yep, we share the same obsession. It’s never ending and why so many cute selections. We went to UCSF hospital gift shop and fell in love with many stuffies. Ellis and I were determined to not buy anything since we just got Captain Paws at Queen Mary and a poseable Winnie the Pooh at Disneyland. But guess what? I took pictures of the brands so we could further investigate new stuffies. Madness!

      4. Well, who can resist their cute faces? It’s probably a good thing they stopped making the Boyds Bears … at least they were small and didn’t take up as much space.

      5. Oh – I just took a quick peek. Fell in love with them all over again and yes they do all have a vintage vibe to them. I see it says “Bailey and Friends” … I do have something with Bailey in it – a resin piece that was a pin and it was for Valentine’s Day … she has blue ribbons in her fur and holding a box of chocolates. They were all adorable. I didn’t realize you could still buy them – this company must have bought all the stock when they closed down. Thank you for the link Esther – it brought back some nice memories as my mom bought me most of them, which we would see when we went to the Hallmark store to buy cards and our Hallmark store sent out a catalog at Christmas, so Mom would pick out a bear, call the store and have them save it, then give me the money to go get it (as she didn’t drive). Nice memories. Gonna tuck this link away.
