TWO NEW BEARS ON THEIR WAY!

Just two Bears to post this week, had time off over the Easter Holiday! and we have another Bank Holiday this coming weekend!  So first off this week was a Silver Wedding Anniversary Bear for Susie and Andy,  their Anniversary was last December! but I get there in the end!   He is heading for the United States as I write x

Then off today was Jay Jay, the January Birthstone Bear for Susan.

I am still working on your other orders - I will get to them all in the end

London getting ready!

Some pictures taken in London today, flags flying and the sun shining!

SPRING CLEANING, BEARS and EVERYTHING ELSE!

Beautiful blue skies and hot sunshine, unheard of for the UK at Easter Time!  What have we all done to deserve this?   Paul was up the ladder over the past weekend cleaning the outside of the house!  His idea not mine!

We have also had a little house guest staying with us for the past three weeks, her owner has been visiting family in the United States.  Bramble is Chloe's Sister
and Jazz's half Sister, so all three do get along very well indeed.   We have thoroughly enjoyed having her to stay, although to watch Bramble eat is an experience in its self!
If I said her food lasted her 3 seconds that might be an exaggeration!

Bramble not going too far without her Teddy!

And lastly my newest Bears - Firstly the May Birthstone Bear ESME, lots of shades of green for this May Bear, equally perfect for that Spring Birthday or just a beautiful coloured Bear to add to your hug.

Finally came my little ray of sunshine, Summer Days, could not resist hand dying some white straight pile Mohair in bright sunshine yellow to make this little Bear.  As it is Easter Weekend I gave her mauve paw pads and satin ribbon for her neck.  Just a baby handful at 6" tall.

HAPPY EASTER to you all, and enjoy the wonderful sunshine if it is with you!

BEARS ON THEIR WAY!

Thank you to all my wonderful customers, your Bears are in the air as I type!

TEAM MERCURY

Team Mercury! Are a 3 man British Army team who will be competing in the Omega South Pole Race in December 2011

I am so pleased to say that LJ BEARS will be supplying the teams official mascot and the 4th member of the Polar Team!

I have just received the following message from Capt W. Morris:  ...I took the idea to a Charity auction Night hosted by one 

of the Main sponsors (DATONG). The bear was the highest 

earning lot and attracted a lot of competition, 

it finally sold for £570 to a Mr Jason Blood, 

who is the brother of the MD. He was thrilled to win and would 

like to call the bear Olly (after his son) 

The night in total raised £3715 a great result!

We have raised in excess of £34,000 now and will keep going until we get to our £60,000 target.
