Now available!

"Lulu"



12 inches (30.4 centimeters)

What a cheeky scamp!

Lulu is a very busy, mischievous bear who likes nothing more than running around with her friends and family to get up to all sorts of fun! She has a locline spine and wired armature for her arms and legs that allow her to be placed in a large range of poses. LuLu has a sealed needle-felted nose, muzzle, paws and feet, and has handmade claws fixed in place as a finishing touch. Her hand painted eyes playfully hint at the mischief she has in mind...

Growing up the only girl in a family of boys did Lulu no harm; in fact, her brothers always tended to come off worse whenever she was around! Never one for fashion, Lulu throws on the first bow she comes across and hurriedly ties it in place before heading out to see her friends.

"Never one to play unfair,
I love my life; I'm that kind of bear!

'l'll play with you, we'll dance and sing,
But don't leave me out - that's not my thing!" 
£165


"William"



12 inches (30.4 centimeters)

With his battered leather hat, Harris tweed scarf, pin and bell, William is 12" of pure gentleman!

He has a hand painted face, paws and feet, and is simply adorable! His eyes are skilfully painted by hand and suit his very dapper image. He has a locline spine, wired armature for arms and legs, and handmade claws which allow him a large range of movement, particularly when he doffs his hat to a passing lady bear! His nose is completely needle-felted and then sealed to give a hardened finish; his muzzle is felted in the same way and his expression is very thoughtful and charming.

William comes from a distinguished line of gentlemen bears, although he himself has fallen on hard times recently. He still manages to stroll the estate from time to time, but has had to let one or two gardeners go as their work was not quite up to his exacting standards.

"Strolling up and Strolling down,
A Gentlemen bear should never frown.

A nod to him, a nod to you,
Twice round the garden and then tea for two.

Hand in hand and eye to eye,
In love we'll fall, betrothed am I." 
£165

His nose is completely needle-felted and then sealed to give a hardened finish; his muzzle is felted in the same way. He has a very soulful expression that hides deep thoughts and his hand painted eyes let you glimpse only parts of them...

"Thoughts, feelings,
Unattainable ceilings
of life's experience...
Wonder and wander,
Into your home...
Would you share them with me?"
£165

12 inches (30.4 centimeters)

Daisy is a demure 12 inches in height and is tentatively entering our world for her first time. Be gentle with her!

She is presented to you with an exquisite hand painted face complete with whisker freckles, paws and feet. Her eyes are skilfully painted by hand and are set off by an aged bonnet that allow her ears to poke out for comfort. She has a locline spine, wired armature for arms and legs, and handmade claws allowing her a large range of movement.

Daisy is a country soul, more at home with the gentle rhythms of nature than with the hustle and bustle of modern day life, but she still likes to keep up to date with the world when she feels like it.

"Nestled in the heart of me,
lies a yearning loyalty,
A hug,
A touch,
A glance askew,
Will you take me home with you?"

Berry is a thoughtful girl who likes to think, a clever girl who loves everything pink. Her days are filled with collecting gifts for you, from a beautiful flower to the shiniest of shoes.

"Down in the garden I may play,
collecting things that may help your day.
I think of this I think of that,
Can you use this? Shall I store them under my hat?
Pink they must be to bring me joy,
I'm a girl you silly, not a boy!"

To raise a smile inside your heart,
Now that is something pure and True."
