Yes, I think this is equivalent to what I did:

Instead of using the M-x / M-:, I write the first line in the 
*scratch* buffer and evaluate it (eval-last-sexp). Then I copy the 
output and I write the second line using the killed text.

I can see the bold text in the buffer when I yank it but when I 
evaluate the second line (text-properties...), it says there is no 
properties. However, if I use M-x: describe-char on any of the 
yanked character, it says, it has a bold face.
