The WW1 Pocket Bears©️

Head of Acquisitions, Edward, has a brass Queen Mary tin to show you. The tins contained cigarettes, sweets & a small pencil. They were distributed to ‘all who wore the King’s uniform’ during #ww1 & it was hoped the gift brought a little cheer to the brave servicemen ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@MadameGilflurt Yes, we are back, and now busy running Parnaby Antiques, in an attempt to top up our tiny war pensions ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@thepocketbears You're back! And still #frockingfabulous.

@Kolo_Martin We don’t think he’ll be at work tomorrow! 😀❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

Oh dear, as a jolly #AprilFool the #ParnabyAntiques boys told #ww1 Steven that there is no alcohol in vintage wine. So, after 4 bottles, poor Steven is not in good shape! Our Head of Acquisitions, Edward, is none too pleased either, as it was very valuable stock 😳😱❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@hannelebear Steven says he was very thirsty 😀❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@thepocketbears Four bottles! Goodness!

You’ve probably heard about the @KITKAT heist and we at #ParnabyAntiques have to confess that our Head of Aquisitions, Edward, acquired them. The rest of us have eaten them & we have just this one left ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@KITKAT Hello, we are First World War mascot bears and we are very sorry but we have eaten all your kitkats. We have just this one left. Would you like it back? @thepocketbears #WW1 #kitkat ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

Help us find them. Use the Stolen KitKat Tracker. Link in bio.

@BeeW1234 ❤️very cute chaps!

Tea bags in Carnforth! 🫖 ☕️ #cute

Today the boys at #ParnabyAntiques would like to show you an original wooden shop sign from way back in 1908, which is 7 years before the pocket bears were even made! It’s way too big to put in the emporium, alas! Happy Sunday everyone ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@HelenFish249972 And not like Parnaby Antiques at all 😂❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@thepocketbears Very organised

Meanwhile, it’s time for the end of year accounts at #ParnabyAntiques and #ww1 Parnaby has presented #ww1 Arthur, our accountant (sort of!), with new files/folders in which to keep all the paperwork. What a good egg Parnaby is! ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛ #CookingTheBooks

@KoalaBarry2 Yes, we are here a short ferry trip to Lerwick. Oooh you live in a lovely place. It’s probably less windy than it is here!

@thepocketbears Oooh, is that where you are !! We are on Kintyre diagonally South of you....

Still a bit misty here, better than this morning though....

@KoalaBarry2 We bears and cats had to do a double take as we thought you must be here!

@thepocketbears Interesting, we've never been there ...

@Kolo_Martin @Emergency_Teds Thank you - We will have to report it! ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

It’s bin day again at #ParnabyAntiques and #ww1 Steven has taken the black bags out to the skip. But, oh dear, someone has put an old mattress & a chair in to it!!! We @thepocketbears are not impressed at all 😳😝❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@mewmomo05 It’s terrible Karen. Poor Steven will have to squash our rubbish (or, bruck as we call it in Shetland) in to there somehow 😳❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@thepocketbears How annoying! This happens at my townhouse complex when people are moving. I go out with one garbage bag and there's no place to put it!

@madeleinemaste4 😂It’s shocking, Madeleine. What has the world come to? ❤️🐻🐈‍⬛

@thepocketbears Ted tippers!! 🌟🧸

@Deadlysecret007 ❤️
