A Bear Story

I have carried Dean's Bears at the store for many years now. Way back when, in about 2000 or 2001, when Jill Baxter's "J.B.Scruff" came in, this JB came home with me!

At about the same time, I spotted "Ragamuffin" on line so I decided to order one from Jill. A few weeks later, I received #3 of a limited edition of 4 pieces.

And this scruffy ragamuffiny pair has been together ever since. (Residing in my home)

Which brings us to the auction. In my effort to Reduce,Reuse&Recycle, (and as part of a negotiated settlement with my hubby to make room for people in the house***), I am semi-reluctantly posting this pair in a charity auction on ebay. You can follow along here in my ebay store! Enjoy!

***I made that up! There's a whole bear-free sofa in the living room!

Just look at that face...

And this one...

awwwwww......

A couple more days on ebay....

...for this fave of ours...

Mr. Beddie Bye Teddy (by Steve Schutt) and a little dalmation puppy (from Steiff)

A Fish Story

Hello from the "blog"...
Today's Artist & Friend offering is a story about a boy, er, I mean a Bear and a Fish.
The bear was a happy little bear, with a boyish grin and some curious Tom Sawyerish looking overalls. He stood a whole 13 inches tall when he stood up on his tippy toes. And he liked to go "bear-foot".
(sorry, I couldn't resist.)
One day the boy went out a-fishin' and you cannot imagine what he caught:
A fish as big as big can be!
(comparatively, that is.)
And he took out his trusty measuring tape. And he found out his fish was the biggest fish he had EVER seen...a whole 5 inches, excluding his tail. And he was also the most beautiful fish ever. (seeing as how his fish was made in Germany from lovely mohair by Steiff!)
So, the little bear, who incidentally was named Sandy decided to keep his friend, the fish, forever. And he even slept with him at night. And the little fish never, never, ever smelled even the tiniest bit fishy. Why, that fish had the best manners and grooming habits you ever did see. And that's undoubtedly the happiest bear and fish "tail" (sorry, again) you'll hear this week.
Enjoy!
(This pair is listed here on ebay as of a few moments ago.)

Bear and Friend of the Day

Hi all!

Being the punctual person that I am (ha ha)...(those of you who know me...no comments!)...I've jumped ahead of myself and listed our latest installment of "Bear & Friend" on Ebay already!

Teddy Bear And Friend!

Happy Wednesday to all! With V-Day a mere 10 days away, I thought it was time to feature some of our favorite Bear & Friend Pairs from Mostly Bears. (You know, the bears like to play when we're away!)

Today's selection is one of my all time faves...from one of my all time fave artists, Ellen Kislingbury of Kislingbears. "Chester" is a purely FABULOUS tipped mohair with airbrushed details. He's 18 inches tall and has Great Paw Pads.

And Chester's Mostly Bears friend? A 4 inch mohair ladybug made in Germany from Steiff.

What a pair!

Chester and "Friend", together as our first offering for Valentine's Day, are priced at $285. Shipping to anywhere in the world is free! (asterisk: if you live in the far reaches of the world, your package might not arrive by Valentine's day...I speak from experience when I notate this!)

Enjoy!

And...stay tuned for our next installment in which we reveal yet another Teddy Bear and Friend. (P.S. Not affiliated with Teddy Bear and Friends, the magazine, except that we sell them here, read them ourselves & recommend them to our friends!)

Oops...

Forgot to blog yesterday!

We were left with the unanswered burning question of the day: What is a Knarf? And what is this Knarf thinking? (or something like that...)

Answers:

Drum roll please......

Thinking...

As you may have guessed a Knarf is a really wonderful bear by artist Maria Devlieghere of Knarf-bears from Belgium. And this is Father Grimm, a great scruffy bear who just happens to be a "millenium" kind of a guy...he's dated January 2000 and is #1 of 3 LE. F.Grimm is about 14 inches in size, made from a really amazing scruffy, long, sparse mohair. Though he doesn't have super tight joints, he sits up quite nicely. His original price was $125, now on sale for $75.

F.G. (which he likes to be referred to, by the way) is probably bound for ebay in the next few days. If he is calling to you, let me know! Enjoy!

Featured Artist Bear of the Day

Q #1: What's a Knarf Bear?

Q #2: What's could this Knarf Bear possibly be thinking about?

Answers tomorrow "In The Blog". See you then!

Better Late Than Never

Here's a little something of interest:

Imagine our surprise while listing two distinctly different bears from our older store stock, we discovered a mutual similarity between these two unique creations...

The little guy is an artist piece named, appropriately, "Little Tyke" by Yolanda Levy (Yoyo Bears) and the big guy is a manufactured bear from Effanbee, designed by none other than Yolanda Levy!
For more info...check it out here on ebay...low, low opening bid!

Today's Featured Artist Piece and a Love Story!

"A Tail Of Two Bunnies"

Once upon a time there were two fabulous creamy white curly matted mohair bunnies made by artist Mary Ann Neisz! They both stood tall and proud...at say, oh, about 18 inches in size. They were amazingly limber with their 5 disk joints. And they absolutely loved their smoky pink ultrasuede paw pads.

They kept an eye on each other with their ultrasuede eyelidded eyes...his lids brown and hers (of course) mascara'd with black...

One day, the boy bunny (lets call him Harvey Hare, shall we?), decided to visit the girl bunny. We'll call her Harriet Hare. He brought a bouquet of red roses (Harriet's favorite, no doubt) and with hat in hand, he proposed they live happily ever after.

She accepted.

They romped through the countryside and past a lovely fountain. Once, Harriet even lost her black boa... and Harvey could see that she had the same puffy alpaca tail has he did! They lived happily ever after...

Wait!

I mean, they WILL live happily ever after once they get adopted! A great Valentine pair...Harvey and Harriet Hare.

Regular $420. During our January sale, H&H Hare are just $378! Enjoy!
