Meet Lester - by Julie-Ann Callis of A Case of The Teds. I adopted him as part of the fundraiser that Dawn James is doing to benefit the bear sanctuary in Romania. (I know that she has several more lovely orphans listed on Bearpile and Facebook.)
Anyway, Lester has such a cheerful and encouraging expression that he had to sit next to me at my desk. Here he is alone, and with some new friends (The white bear on the left was one of my very first attempts).
Becky
Aww, he's lovely, he looks perfect to provide encouragement
Sorry I can't see your bear, but I just have to comment because one of my favorite bears is named Lester. He's a manufactured bear, though. It's weird when you see another bear with the same name as your bear. At least there probably won't be another Prot, lol.
Oh Lester is VERY lovely- his little collar is a very sweet detail! Congratulations! And what a wonderful thing to buy a new teddy friend, knowing the money will go to helping the bear sanctuary!
Oh yes, he is very lovely, Becky, I love his kind expression!
I am glad you helped Dawn and Chris raise money for the Romanian bear sanctuary.
This is the teddy that I adopted in aid of the WSPA; she is called Olivia and was made by Carole Richardson (IssyBears).
There are still lots of gorgeous teddies waiting for a new family (at very reasonable prices); check out : www.dawnandchrisbeartrek.co.uk
Peter & the bears
I'm happy that you all like Lester.
Peter, Your Olivia bear is lovely too! I really like her dress and her little smile. (And you've reminded me that there should be more chocolate at my desk. It's important to keep the bears well-fed.)
Becky
Aren't Dawn's bears beautiful. Becky he looks right at home with your two fellows.
I love your bear too Peter, I miss understood on FB, I thought this was another Hugs Unlimited bear. She is beautiful in her dress and Easter hat. And I see she has found even more sweets at your house.
Thank you for adopting the bears - it really is appreciated and I know they have gone to great homes. Thanks to everyone that has bought bears and my son running the London Marathon last weekend I am delighted to say that we have raised well over £2000 so far. There are still loads of wonderful bears to be had, we have just put a lot more on this afternoon - I'm afraid the photos are not the best, as we have had so many to photograph. All the bears are in lovely condition.
LOL Peter - if you feed Olivia any more chocolate she won't fit into that lovely dress anymore! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
Now all we have to do is climb those mountains!
SUCH gorgeous bears for such a special cause.
