I hope that this email finds you well.
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work making "Letty" bear for my sister on her 30th birthday.
My sister loved her and the piggy buttons was such
a lovely touch! She is now taking pride of place in
her new home and is the third addition to the bear family you have created for us;
MT bear - my husband's.
Fi-Ona bear - my sister in law's
and now Letty bear - my sister's.
I do intend to keep creating bears
with you and imagine that we will be in
touch again in the near future for another family member.
I am now a true fan of L J Bears! Take care for now...........

letting me create this 'VIP Bear' for you!
19"   48cm Adopted to Belgium

............He looks absolutely adorable. I can’t begin to describe what I like about him,
because I like everything about him : from his sweet face
to his embroidered footpads, he is just perfect. Though I do want to
congratulate especially on the excellent job you did with his waistcoat
: the logo is exactly like the original and the combination of
blue, green and white works very well.
And to top it all off he has a lovely teddy bear on his waistcoat.
He looks so cute, yet at the same time his waistcoat gives him a certain elegant dignity.

When I look back on the troubled and very worrying time
I don’t know if it’s coincidence or fate or something like that,
but today of all days, we have just received confirmation
of our new employer (and it’s CEO “Baudouin”) that there
will be no redundancies in our company !
It feels like Baudouin (your teddy) is already
bringing good luck into my life !! How wonderful is that ?

So for now I can only thank you from the bottom of
my heart for making this wonderful teddy for me..........................
