A Few Weeks Ago….

I received a box in the mail.

Contents:

Two beautiful fur coats. One was shaved black mink and the other I believe is Persian Lamb.

The coats were given to me by my friend Robin’s cousin, Janet. Just because she knew I made bears and was working with recycled fur and wanted to make a donation.

So, in turn, I returned the favor by sending her a little donation…. created as a result of her kindness.

I didn’t name him… except to call him Janet’s bear. She received him on Valentine’s Day!

We meet wonderful people in our world of teddy bears.

I just wanted to thank you again, Janet, for the wonderful gift. I can’t wait to see who else emerges from the pile of fur.

Hugs, Vicki and the bears!

You Just Never Know….

… what will be the next thing to come out of my studio. Seriously.

I mean some of them are cute….I mean C-U-T-E!

… some of them are kinda mean…

.. and some of them are just itty-bitty things.

Some of them wear dresses ….

.. and some wear winter coats…

.. and some wear nothing at all, except their fur, of course.

Some of them are kind of silly….

… and some are just plain BAD…

Some look like people…

… and have pretty serious jobs.

And some look like … well ….

…. other animals, perhaps.

I was thinking today about this thing I call “my job.”

A job that is so much fun I feel guilty doing it..

A job that turns my world, makes my days go lightening fast and hopefully brings a smile and some goodness to those who cross my path.

How did I get so lucky.

I am blessed for sure.

Thanks for the visit! Vicki and the Bears
