Thanks everyone! The shop is fixing her and I'll be getting her back tomorrow!
I love this place, it's such eye candy! Susie, I want to steal those bunnies right out of your pic (not to mention quite a few other bears I've seen here!) and Chrissie, you have an amazing collection, maybe one day I'll have that many bears but it's a good thing I've only just started collecting as I'm already having trouble finding safe places to put them where my cats can't eat them!
I'll definitely be staying around to nosy at everyone's work, hope it's ok to have a newbie collector here!
Just to let you know, Penelope has gone to the hospital today , Beatrix phoned Mary Shortle's and they're going to sort it out, they'll either fix her themselves or post her to Beatrix if they can't do it. I don't think they'll have a problem fixing her. So she's gone off to work with Andy, my partner and is in his locker at the moment. I'll be glad to get her back!!
Thanks everyone! I got a reply from Beatrix this morning and she says that she'll fix the ear and that my bunny's teeth are fine, it was the way the photo was taken. She looks like she's been gnawing on too many carrots since she's been with me! Anyway, I'm going to see what the shop says first because really they should be the ones to sort this out as her 'injury' probably happened there. I'll let you know what they say.
Now onto saving for my next bear...
Hehe thanks :)
She is so gorgeous, that's why I'm so upset over this, I think I'd be feeling worse if I hadn't come here to talk to all of you and of course all the lovely bears to look at help too!
Edited:
Ahh I didn't realise that she was on holiday,I'll hang on in there.
Sorry for the double post, I've just been looking at the Beatrix Bears website http://www.beatrixbears.co.uk/ and noticed on the slideshow that penelope's teeth are larger on that photo than they are now. I don't know what's going on!
Firstly, thank you to Kay for the offer, it's so nice of you!! You make very cute bears by the way!
I'm going to wait for Beatrix to reply to my e-mail but I'm also going to send my partner into the shop on Tuesday to see what they say, maybe they have someone that can repair my bunny so I don't have to send her away.
Thanks guys for your replies.
Here is Penelope Hope the photo's not too big.
Hi, I'm new here and have just started collecting bears. I bought my first artist bear today which is a bunny by Beatrix Bears, I bought her in a shop in Leeds, UK. I got her home and have had a good look at her and she's gorgeous but it appears that one of her ears isn't sewn on properly. I've e-mailed the artist but I don't know if she'll really be able to help and the shop I got her from (Mary Shortle) didn't give me a receipt. What can I do?
Thanks!
P.S. You guys are great artists!
