Can anyone remember this early 80s children’s book?

There was a book I loved when I was little - I think it was a book of short stories. One was about a little girl who had a tiny Teddy that she could hide in her hand. Another story was about a girl who lived in a house without a garden but she cut out lots of pictures of flowers and made a collage on her walls. Does anyone recognise this book? I’d love to read it again.

Hopefull bump!

I don’t think it’s right but it made me think of two Joan Aiken stories - one ‘the serial garden’ where mark cuts out figures from a cereal packet; and one where a girl listens to a record which takes her into a garden. Sorry now I type it I know it’s not it, but she was such an amazing story teller that’s my first guess!

@NicolaMarlowsMerlin love your username, I'm an Antonia Forest fan as well, especially the Kingscote ones.

@Downthemedow the garden story rings a bell, I can't recall the teddy in the hand. I do hope you manage to get an answer on this one soon, it's so frustrating trying to remember a book from the past and not being able to.
