Hey, who stole Autumn?!

Would you believe it's only 11am and already I have the lounge lamps on? It is so dark today and the rain is hammering down outside - definitely a 'pull up the drawbridge' Saturday! In fact, I may even pull the curtains early and light a few scented candles later. I love cosy candlelit November evenings, don't you?

Now that the Ho Ho Oh Bearz show specials are sat patiently on my shelves waiting for their big day, it's time to complete one or two outstanding projects before I turn my thoughts back to the website and inevitably, to the prospect of Christmas! I can hardly believe there are less than eight weeks to go ... for goodness sakes, I still need to find time to mix my Christmas cake and pud - own up, who stole Autumn?!

'Berrin', 23" shop exclusive for 'Edwina's Friends'

I have been working on a gorgeous ivory mohair shop exclusive bear this week and I am delighted to tell you, he will soon be making his way to Edwina's Friends. At 23" this bear is a real statement piece! I also have a 20" bear in the pipeline, so please check out www.edwinasfriends.co.uk in a week or two, to see both bears featured in their full glory and available for pre-Christmas delivery. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this preview of 'Berrin', a fine figure of a bear, even if I do say so myself!
