oh is just the cutest little fella 

Cherie was made as a Commission Bear and is heading off to her new home in Singapore. 

Cherie is a 17" Bear, with a gentle, heart. Brought to life with gorgeous Schulte Kid Mohair in a wavey light blonde colour. She is a happy little bear that loves to watch the birds flying out in the garden.   Most of all she loves to sit having a cuddle and listening to music. If you look closely enough you can see her moving her little toes to the music!

What a very fine group of Bears you chose to share your life with Peter.  I am hopeless with the tubes and not surprised you got a wee bit lost!  I'm glad you still had a wonderful time and that Molly will now be one very happy girl 
Have a lovely week recovering and introducing the Bears to all their friends  :hug:

oh Peter, it's such fun to see someone else with the same kind of mind as I have, some would call it crazy, I would call it sane 
SO very happy to hear your little Molly will have a new love in her life :)
Have a fabulous time at Hugglets

Hi everyone,  I hope it's ok to post this, I don't want to upset anyone but I just heard about this issue and felt that many here would also want to help by signing a petition.  I just read about the terrible annual bear hunts in Russia, hibernating mother bears are lured out of their dens by dogs to be shot and killed, leaving their infant cubs to freeze or starve to death.

Each year, den hunting leaves up to 4,000 cubs motherless. Some of these homeless cubs end up as pets to local villagers, while others are taken as cruel props for entertainment or to be eaten in restaurants. Most are abandoned and left to die.

You can give these tiny bundles of fur a second chance at life. Please urge the Russian Prime Minister to ban the cruel practice of den-hunting, sign the petition from the International Fund for Animal Welfare - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/534/084/459

Thank you so much for anyone joining the petition,
HUGS

Dear Marilyn, I am sure that dear Tatty was destined to come to you.  Now you will be part of his/her story.  I look forward to hearing you get on, what a special challenge.  I just love his expression.  IF you are looking for some golden mohair backing that may help patch up where he has his 'bandages' I got a lovely gold mohair when I was at Hugglets, that I used on Beau (see pic - http://www.bumpkinbears.com/en/v3/bears/beau.php).  I am pretty sure it was from Christie Bears.  You could always age the backing if it is a little bit too bright.  I do have a few little scraps left over I could send you, but I think they may be too small for what you need for Tatty.
Hugs, Catherine x

Such a relief, oh that video is just so beautiful, the sound of wee Hope when she sees her Mum, tears all around!

Blue is a precious baby Bumpkin Bear, one of a kind and 15.5". He is not the most confident of Bears but he is still very young so I am sure with lots of reassuring cuddles and exciting adventures that he will grow into a very brave chap.  He is quite the wild child with his wavy locks!!  He is available for adoption from my website - http://www.bumpkinbears.com/en/v3/bears/Blue.php

Hugs
Catherine & Baby Blue
