Mum promises to be back soon. Mouse x

So many goodies!

I have so many new items to show you I am not too sure where to start! Firstly my latest bear has come to life in mohair, his name is Jaunty. Jaunty is a very dashing bear with beautiful lemony golden Mohair, this is a special colour and is the Rolls Royce of Schulte mohair! It has the most gorgeous wave to it and is heavenly to hug. Jaunty is a real character that loves to visit antique auctions. All the other bears know him in the antique world with his splendid jaunty bows! He is always on the look out for unique items to decorate his tree home with. He would love to share this passion with his new family and help to decorate your home, he would certainly bring lots of sunshine into your life. Not only would his charming smiley face brighten up your day but his lovely mix of colours will always make you smile even on the greyest of days. He is available for adoption from my website.



I have a new set of Prints and Notecards featuring Pickles the Bear which I will be gradually listing in my Etsy store over the weekend. Each one has a sweet moral typed on them, Be Good (featuring Pickles hiding the chocolate covered spoon behind his back!), Be Brave (featuring Pickles feeling a little nervous of a wee mouse!) and finally of course Be Happy (featuring Pickles dancing through the grass as we all should do), nice mottos for us to follow in our lives, whether bear or human! (click on photos for larger views)




So keep an eye out for when they are in my store, right now I need to take a break from the screen. We've had builders here banging on our roof since 7 am all day and my head is ready to explode! But I'll be back soon to list these prints and cards, hope you enjoy them. Have a lovely weekend, Hugs, Catherine x

Hello My Friend

SO happy that you love Pickles, he asked me to send you all rather shy hugs! Just listed the sweet Print you can see in the previous post as a Notecard. It has vintage rosey red text saying "Hello My Friend", a nice way to brighten a friend's day. You can see this card in my Etsy store..



I have just discovered a wonderful blog having a Rooster Blog Party on Friday, I am thrilled to be part of it with this Print and Card showing Pickles with his new Rooster friend. Do Go along and join in the fun at Barb's Blog.

A new set of Pickle's Prints and cards are coming up soon too, watch this space! Hugs, Catherine and Pickles x

Introducing your New Friend - Pickles

There is a Bear called Pickles that is so excited about finally meeting you all.


This little Bear has been circling in my imagination for a long time and it is such a delight to finally see him in print. From the moment that the sun rises Pickles pulls on his red Welly Boots and heads out across the meadows. He gets up to all sorts of adventures and is always making new friends with wildlife. My very first Print of Pickles shows him making friends with a sweet chicken all nestled in amongst the cottage garden complete with my favourite Foxgloves. (On my recent trip to Scotland the fields were all edged with these beautiful pillars of pink flowers.) This Print is available in my Etsy store..


I have also reduced all Secondary shipping costs to just 50 cents, so shopping just got more fun in my Store.
I have more Prints and Notecards to introduce over the coming days so come back soon to see what Pickles and I are getting up to! My new Mohair Bear hopes to meet you later this week too, busy busy! Bear Hugs, Catherine x
