For my birthday

This is what I love about buying on etsy. This seller was wonderful to work with. I got exactly what I wanted and what a treat that is to get. How often do you get this kind of personal service and get to carry on a conversation with the very person that makes the item you bought? Well, you don't find that at your local mall or discount store, I'll tell you that. BUT you will find it here and this seller is great to work with. On top of that, my item arrived quickly and was exactly right. As long as etsy keeps having sellers like this one I'm sure I will continue to shop there because I'm worth it and so are you.

Cindy's bear

I love to make bears and then cute little outfits to go on them. This year I was honored with a request to make a bear for my friend Cindy from New York. She is going to be a first time grandmother and wanted a special bear to mark the occassion.

Congratulations, Cindy, to you and all that you've accomplished since the last time we saw each other. Your bear has been informed he has a trip to go on and already has his bags packed. He's asked me a zillion questions about this winter wonderland (New York). I'm helping him to see it as I did that first winter. Looks like we might get a taste of snow in a day or so, but nothing like New York. LOL

(He's hoping you like him)
