Boechout, AntwerpI thoroughly enjoyed this issue of Bears and Buds, especially the article about Dawn James and her "Unlimited Hugs". :dance:
Some of my favourite quotes :
"I really like miniature bears and have quite a few of them too. However, what really gets me excited is the feel of the hug that you can only get from a bigger bear. I love just holding a bear and seeing that look of complete love and trust coming from them."
"I don't want to create a bear that will live his/her life in a cabinet behind glass. I want to create something that really means something special to the person that ends up with them; a furry friend that they can pick up and cuddle and tell their troubles to."
"Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing "adult children" love my bears."
"It's plain to see, that with Dawn's creativity, the hugs are definitely unlimited."
Some of my favourite teddies :
