Christmas Card

Felix looks a bit grumpy and he isn't too happy with the Santa's hat on his head, but he will soon get into the spirit of Christmas (especially when I show him the big Christmas cake I have).

Felix is a big chunky bear made by Norwegian artist Gail Meacham, who was adopted by me at the latest Hugglets show in London

Felix and I would like to wish you and your family a happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year, and of course lots of success with Bears&Buds.

Big Hugs,

Peter, Felix & the bears

Dear Valerie,

Hi!! Merry Christmas to you and your family and all at Bears&Buds, and all the very best for 2013.

On top of all of these bears, I have also have my little bears hanging on all my inside door handles and ceiling fan pulls (L), there are bears hanging on quite a few of the cupboard handles. Can you tell, I am bear crazy!

Love and hugs,

Carol XXXX

My last bear made in 2012

Adding a bear here and there on the tree is fun.


Thanks, Bettina

Waldorf makes guest appearances to give bear hugs and make people smile.

He loves balloons and this Christmas

he had colorful balloons all in holiday shapes!

Way to go Waldorf!!!

   

Here is a picture of my bears decorating the grandchildren's room for their Christmas stay at Oakdale Farm.

It's Summer time here in New Zealand, so we'll have lots of teddy bear picnics by the stream.


Have a great New Year, Robin

My wife and I are avid teddy bear collectors and decorate our home each year

in a teddy bear motif. We even have built a North pole village in doll houses populated by miniature bears. Our tree has been decorated in miniature bears!

About a year and a half ago my wife, Doreen, and I had just finished building a large doll house and I enjoyed it so much, one with bears seemed like a good idea.

We collect bears and have a few hundred or so all around the house. Christmas was coming in a few months so I started with a Christmas theme.

The Workshop was our first and was so much fun I decided why not build the North Pole.

We are in the process of finishing the Sleigh port where I’m putting in digital landing lights and my wife is dressing the elf bears for the school.

Our next addition will be the Physicians Office and elf boarding home.

Note: only a few of the scenes are shown as their collection is extensive!
