The Bears below have already been adopted but perhaps
they inspire you to have your own Special Bear made for you?

GRAMMY NET-NET - Given to a very special
Grandma from her little Grand Daughter
Isabelle Mary. This Teddy is traditionally
made from a white Mohair with green tipping,
is fully jointed and Musical playing 'Oh what
a wonderful World'. She has beautiful large
feather white wings and a sparkling white ribbon around her neck.

I just wanted to thank you so much for MY Special Bear I
received as a Christmas Gift. Two years ago I had you make a Special
Bear for my granddaughter, Isabelle Mary born December 28, 2002 for her
first birthday-she was lavender and had Isabelle Mary on one bear paw
and the other had her birthday on it and it was adorable.

This year imagine my surprise and wonder when I opened the box at
Christmas to find Grammy Net-Net (with that on Paw) and Belle's Angel on
the other. She is a beautiful green with gorgeous wings. She has slept
right on the nightstand beside me every night since I received her and
she will probably remain here forever as long as I am around. This
wonderful and adorable granddaughter (and her mom, my daughter) have
been my joy and love and I thank God every day that I have been blessed
with them. This wonderful bear you created just confirms all the
wonderful feelings I have for both daughter and granddaughter. I am
blessed that they live close and I get to see them often and we are very
close.

My daughter said she told everyone in her office that she was going to
make me cry at Christmas. When I opened the box it took a few seconds
for me to realize that it was a special bear from you and I just picked
it up and held it so happy and yes, wanting to cry. I knew when I found
your site two years ago that I had to hit something Special because it
was from Lynette-which was also my name. You are a blessing for what you
do, making special things like this for people to show how deeply they
care. I will cherish this bear always and I thank you very much for
making it so beautifully.

I am sure that I will be back to your site to order one or more Special
Bears in the future. Again, thank you so much for Grammy Net-Net, this
Grammy Net-Net will love it forever and have something wonderful to pass
along for a beautiful daughter and granddaughter to have as a memory
when the time comes.

Thanks so much
Lynette Dow

'WHEN I AM OLD, I SHALL WEAR PURPLE' -
This gorgeous Teddy Bear is to remind us,
perhaps, of what is too come!!   This was
a soft lilac coloured wavy Mohair which I
have hand dyed a deep shade of purple,
I left the paws, feet and muzzle in the lighter
shade. She has a purple embroidered nose
and claws, is fully jointed and filled with
polyester and pellets. Teddy also carries
a white fan for those 'hot spots'! and a
beautiful satin handbag containing a
pack of playing cards for bridge! Our
Lady wears a red feather boa, half
rimmed glasses and a stunning
red straw hat trimmed with purple
ribbon, red flower and feathers.
15"    38cm
Adopted & living with Linda in the USA!

She's wonderful!!! I'm so glad you asked to recreate her for other ladies.
She is much better than her pictures & they were good. She looks like she
could be up to all kinds of mischief since at her age no one can say a
thing. The cards in the purse were a nice touch & I guess she doesn't use
them just for solitaire. A little gin rummy with a special fellow perhaps.
You'll have to let me know how many you end of making & maybe we can form a
club............................
