I am writing belatedly (sorry!) to thank you for making India-Amethyst 
Sapphire in bear form!  India had a lot of birthday presents, but I kept  her bear
for her, as the last and most special gift!  As soon as she saw  her, her
little face lit up and she tried to give her a big hug!  I then  explained that
the bear was named after her, illustrated aspects of her  personality, culture
and even where she was having her first birthday party and  would be her friend
for life!  As she settled down to bed after an eventful  day, India-Amethyst
Sapphire the bear played her own special little birthday  girl "Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star" as she went to sleep!

Finally got Mrs Titchmarsh on Wednesday....................
Anyway my colleagues and I were captivated by her - I shall leave her
exactly as she is.  I think she is exquisite and Mr Titchmarsh seems to be
besotted, Lady Charlotte not quite so welcoming!
She makes a perfect pair with Mr Titchmarsh - they looked like a couple from
the minute I put them together.   They're sitting on the shelf having a rest
and getting acquainted.  Maybe Lady Charlotte does approve of staff sitting
in her presence! ...............................
Thanks again for all your hard work - you are certainly a talented pair.

happy memories for you!                                  
19"   48cm    Elvis is now living in New Zealand

Elvis has arrived he is just a spectacular teddy bear.
He commands an audience just as before some things never change. 
We have now displayed him in all his glory and he has taken
centre stage on one of my console tables,  at the front of course
amongst some of my very pretty dolls.   I have added just a
little more glitter by sprinkling some on his
cape and scarf you know what a showman he was.
He is so cuddly you have done him proud.  
 I am sure I will have to restrict myself from winding him
up all the time to sing to me
Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear.  He certainly is a show stopper.
Thank you once again Lynette & Paul for this wonderful creation.
