New for 2022
Well, there are going to be so many new bears on this website soon for 2022! I have been making bears and holding them ready for shows since they sell so quickly it is usually confusing to put them on to the website, but of course like everyone, I have not been doing ‘real’ shows. […]
Trista

Looking back I don’t seem to have advertised them to many people, perhaps I really didn’t want them to leave me! However, I should really find my little lovelies a […]
