Naomi

We found Naomi at a car boot sale in West Wittering, a few months ago. She was tucked in among the bric-a-brac, pink fur a bit flat from being bagged up, but her embroidered nose and stitched mouth were still perfect.

She’s a Build-A-Bear, which you can tell straight away from the shape of her paws. Pink with flashes of other colours running through the fur. Fluffy in the way only Build-A-Bears go fluffy.

I picked her out a set of pink pyjamas and a matching zebra-printed eye mask. Naomi looked chuffed with the whole outfit.

She came with us to Surbiton Festival on the 27th of September and went home with someone that same afternoon. a few months ago now. We hope she’s getting plenty of sleepovers.
