Sometimes, when the Sun’s power hits out planet, it causes a phenomenon that we like to call ‘northern lights’. It creates the most beautiful colours in the sky. This here little bear is nearly as radiant, that’s why she is called Aurora…

She is about 37 c tall

Aurora is very happy ! She is moving to Switzerland, where she’s going to live with lots of friends and Borderfamily members…(on top of that she adores the Swiss mountains !)

Actually, these tree beargirls are quite funny when they’re together. They must be the female bear versions of the three stooges! Stoogettes. Yes, that’s it. I love them anyway. Okay, now, shoo! I need to fix my makeup…

Dot is a tiny little girl of only 20 cm tall.

Price; 69 euros

A soft blue. Low-hanging clouds, nose in the humid and chilly sea-breeze. In the house, an old and heavy wood-burning heater with a kettle of warm pea-soup on top. Wherever she goes, Willemijn will always remember she’s a dutch girl….

Freddie

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

P1110003.JPGP1100991.JPGP1100992.JPGP1100996.JPG P1110004.JPG

A regular, if a bit posh, bear-girl. Well-dressed and mannered. Who wouldn’t like this little lady. But “Freddie”, isn’t that a boy’s name?
I guess a little explanation would be appropriate. A while ago, she was chatting and laughing with some bear-boys. One of the boys suddenly noticed her furry collar. The other boys figured it had to be real fur and started joking about it. They imagined it was her pet mouse Freddy’s little white coat. Oh dear! That was rude! She started to boil in anger, but smart as she is, quickly cooled down again. You know, boys will stay boys and she laughed with them.  The name stuck, they still call her Freddy, but she doesn’t mind. She even likes the humor in it.

Freddie is about 39 cm tall.

Price 239 euros

Mabel

P1100971.JPGP1100965.JPG P1100963.JPG P1100960.JPGP1100977.JPGP1100961.JPGP1100981.JPG

Sometimes you stumble upon one of those priceless treasures. The moment you look at it, you know it’s going to change you.

It happened to Mabel, she was cleaning up the attic when, suddenly, she saw that big and dusty old suitcase. It was as if it was looking at her, saying: “Open me! Open me!”
It was filled to the brim with her granny’s lace collection she had been expanding since she was just a girl.
Mabel was rich!
Immediately she started draping the stuff all over her body, layer upon layer of nostalgia-loaded fabric, until she could barely carry herself downstairs.
And that’s kind of where this story ends; the suitcase is now empty, she still wears it all. And, boy, does she love it! (She’s pretty sure you like it too)

Mabel is about 49 cm tall

Price : 349 euros

P1100904.JPGP1100911.JPG

Oliviero may be a clown, but unlike his fellow entertainers, he appears to be touching the smiling snares of the most refined of people among us.

Love, for example, is a universal thing. A sense of humour however, seems to be a very personal trait.
So do be aware that if you decide to take care of this very unique happy making bear, it does take a rather refined taste for laughing matters in order to fully enjoy his exquisite company…..
From the top of his hat till the tip of his toes Oliviero is about 58 cm tall.
Price 169 euros

How odd, something never occurred to me until Molly just mentioned it. When humans want to permanently decorate themselves, they have to get tattoos. Some even scars, how painful!

Mollie thinks she is ugly and that Isabeau is the nicest, most beautiful, most perfect bear out there. We think that Isabeau involuntarily has a bad influence on dear Mollie. She deserves better.

They say that empathy is one of man’s greatest virtues. It enables us to show compassion and protect eachother. It gives us the ability to be true friends and to care about another.
