My Story

What started as a love of crafting and a soft spot for scruffy teddy bears has turned into a regular stall at fairs across the south of England. I rescue pre-loved bears from car boot sales and charity shops, give them a proper clean and a new outfit, and bring them to the stall looking for a new home. Alongside the bears, I make bags, knitted bits, soaps, and a few other things besides.
