Here's the lady's link at ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BEARS-OF-GRACE-OUT-O...id=p3911.c0.m14

She sells clothes separately and rag dolls too.

My hubby bought a bear from Bears of Grace years ago and I was delighted to find her on ebay a few months ago and purchased Molly, seen here http://dollchitchat.3.forumer.com/index.ph...topic=18539&hl=

I don't think the price I paid has altered much from years ago when Jo exhibited at Kensington and Ali Pali - and I hope to add more to my collection - hopefully from car boot sales

I love your enchanting bear and her belongings, what a lovely idea xxx

Gorgeous story and pics!!
Hugs

WOW, WHAT A FIND!! I LOVE THESE BEARS!

Thanks for all the info Kathryn - I love your little Molly she is so cute - I will tell Annie she has a little cousin out there !!!

I wonder if any other members here have any - Annie would love to "meet her relatives "

I didn't know she sold the clothes etc separately - I can see a new dress for Annie on the horizon - (you really shouldn't encourage me - you know I have no willpower!! )

I love her bears - I was sad not to see them last year at the MM show I must confess I would like another one day as a friend for little Annie (sadly I think my chances of finding another at a boot sale are definately slim !!!) - she puts so much time and effort into their presentation and selecting suitable materials for their clothes and accessories.

Thank you Irene, becky, Maryjo and Rach - I am glad you enjoyed seeing her

Love Sue

Well I thought I had better update you on little Annie - She has settled in nicely and is enjoying lots of love - But she was still a little fretfull - so to try and settle her we have been looking into her family tree to see if we can find any living relatives - and guess what we found .....

Little Orphan Annie had two very famous relatives back in her family tree

William Shakesbear and Anne Hathabeary!!



He He - sorry couldn't resist - thanks for looking

Love Sue

WOW, WOW, WOW, are these two lovely sweethearts yours too, my dear friend???

Awww Sue I am so pleased you rescued orphan Annie from those nasty dealers, she has now found her forever home with you and your mum x x

Thanks Karen - these two are mine - they came from Stratford (Shaespeare's home town - hence their names ) some years ago - they were made especially by the same Artist that made Annie - you can see the family resemblance for a shop called "Wild and Woolly" which is one of my favourite shops in Stratford ( I haven't been for a while I hope it is still there - cos it sold all sorts of furries - including Hansa and Kosen animals which I adore)

Thankyou Susi - glad you enjoyed Annie's story

Love Sue

awww what a lovely story and also a great find

She is wonderful Sue, Loved your story
