Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted here, I've been very busy with my illustration work.  But I'm thrilled to introduce you to Samuel, my first Bear of 2014.

Samuel enjoys listening to piano music and writing poetry about flowers, honey and bees!  However most of all he loves having a hug and listening to your thoughts and dreams.  He will be a dear friend for life. 

One of a Kind 18" Artist Bear
Made of the most gorgeous, silky soft Schulte Mohair
Unique hand dyed Teal colour
Soft cashmere hand dyed Paw Pads
Black glass eyes with hand shading
Hand Embroidered nose and mouth
5 way Cotter Pin jointed
Filled with polyfibre & plastic pellets for a wonderfully cuddly Bear
Not suitable for young children due to small parts

If you would like to adopt Samuel and make him a part of your family or have any questions then send me an email at catherine@bumpkinbears.com

Bear Hugs,
Catherine & Samuel

Hi everyone, gosh it's been far too long since I popped my head in here.  I hope you are all well?  Life has been so very busy with my Illustrations and Bear Making.  As some of you know I lost my Mum to Breast Cancer a few years ago and now sadly my family has had to face this disease again recently.  I want to feel useful somehow so am holding a Fundraising Raffle for one of my Bumpkin Bears called Callum (Gaelic for Peace) in aid of the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer.  I was wondering if any of you could help spread the word, maybe on your Blogs, Facebook etc and if you would like to join in the raffle every £1 donated equals one entry, so £3 equals 3 entries and so on...  Every little helps so thank you very much for your help in anyway, it means a great deal.  You can find out all about my Bumpkin Bear and the Raffle here http://bumpkinbears.blogspot.com/2012/0 … -bear.html

Thanks heaps
Big Bear Hugs

Callum is a 15" Baby Bear so a little shy but he loves to bring happiness into your days, especially picking flowers from the garden for you. His Celtic name means Dove, and as the symbol of Peace it fits him just perfectly. As peaceful as Callum is he does have a sparkle of mischief in his gorgeous green eyes, as green as the rolling hills of Ireland. His fur is a fabulous wavey, silky soft top of the line Schulte Mohair in a delightful blonde gold.

He's available for adoption from my website - www.bumpkinbears.com

Romeo is a Hopeless Romantic, happy to sit all day snuggled under a blanket reading Poetry with you! He especially loves Shakespeare's Sonnets so I made him his rather smart Shakespearian collar from vintage ivory coloured lace (removeable with a little clasp). He has a special tenderness about him and you can see how much love he has to give in his kind eyes. His fur is gorgeously cosy and soft, top of the line Schulte Alpaca in a special chocolate shade.

He is available for adoption from my website - www.bumpkinbears.com

oh  my gosh Peter, your heart must be overflowing with all these new friends.  I must say I love them all but the last one and the old 1930's Bear are really special, gosh what stories he has to tell, survived through the war etc!  I'll look forward to hearing if you find out more about him.

Big Hugs to all the new Bears, what a party there must be in your house, time to get the tea and chocolate out  me thinks  :cake:  :dance:

Jacob is a cheeky 17" Bear that loves to make you giggle with all his party tricks! Coming from the land of Chocolate and having such a gorgeously soft milk chocolate Alpaca coat he felt his full name was fitting! Friendship is very important to this sweet Bear, he even enjoys a bit of a sing along, so you could have some wonderful parties with all your hug! Get your dancing shoes ready!

He is available for adoption here - http://www.bumpkinbears.com/en/v3/bears.php
