i bought him at my old consignment job a couple years ago because i thought he was cute, the 100th anniversary of teddy’s teddy.
but then, later on, i became obsessed with the roosevelt family in history: the fact that the teddy bear is named after teddy roosevelt is so sweet to me. and discovering the roosevelt family, especially alice & corinne & eleanor .. i cherish this bear and that it is a marker of a weird special interest of mine, the family bringing lots of inspiration to me over the years.
