New Patterns coming soon

So today was probably one of the most exciting days I have had in a while, not only have we put plans in place to make a wonderful Bear grotto and Artist bear shop.  I also managed to talk to Monica Spicer and after getting extremely excited about a kit someone gave me for my birthday and talking to her for a while, well actually bending her ear back for a while, she has allowed me to stock some of her patterns in the shop.   Monica was extremely helpful and very giving so if you get a chance make sure you visit her web site.

Changes at the shop

We will be working hard at the shop tomorrow putting in new cupboards to hold some new treasures including some antiques and awesome teddy bears.  Make sure you come for a visit big things are happening with our Teddy bear grotto and the Whispering Forest home.  Our Helen Gleeson workshops are nearly full we have one place left in October and 3 places in December.  Helen is almost ready for her big adventure in London and we wish her luck.  I am sure she will wow them all with her amazing bears.
