Golden bear ornament

I've had this little golden bear for nearly thirty years. Ken gave it to me as part of a box of little glass ornaments back in nineteen eighty-something. There's also a circus bear, a polar bear, a dog, and a fish. This little golden bear is my favorite of the bunch.

I wonder if this Golden Bear went to Cal? Go Bears!

That's a miniature wine bottle ornament in the background. We've collected several of those over the years. This one actually has wine-colored liquid inside. The label says "Pinot Grigio. Once opened never to return." I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

  2. I love that golden bear. Much too classy to be one of the "go bears"! As for the wine bottle, very strange wording, but a fun idea. I've never seen one of those.

  3. Glass ornaments and my cat don't mix so I cannot put any on my tree; guess I'll just enjoy yours, instead!
