Abandoned Unwanted Unloved

This collection started with finding Winnie the Pooh slumped over a teddy bear in Stamford Hill. After this, I seemed to find abandoned cuddly toys all over the place and friends started sending me photos of the ones that they had found. Children tend invest so much emotion into cuddly toys and it seemed sad to see so many of them just abandoned at the side of the road - smiling in the gutter, or looking forlornly into the distance. This is an internet home for those unwanted toys – they may be discarded but they’re not forgotten.
