Our 1st. snow storm for the winter, arrived Sunday morning Dec. 6th. here in NEWFOUNDLAND and LABRADOR . All the bears here at the ‘TBGH Bear Den”are looking forward to a long winters nap. They are a little tire after the successful 400 Exhibition and Fine Craft & Design Fair. Thank you to all that dropped by.
Before my bear friends fall into a deep sleep for the winter they join me in wishing you all a very Blessed Christmas. May the peace of the Christ Child be found in your homes and hearts through the Christmas Season and the New Year ahead.
Thank you again for your trust in me. I look forward to working on many new bears for you in the new year. God bless
Please post a comment, [link on comments just below the "Teddy Bear Family"] or drop me an e-mail [tbgh@eastlink.ca]. I enjoy hearing from you here at the den.
Living in small, isolated towns, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers learned to be skilled in needlecraft. They sewed, knitted, crocheted, tatted, and embroidered for their families, their homes, and their churches. Using these traditional skills, I cut out and hand sew each of my bears.
Visit my website to see photos of my bears and how they are made:
I know there are large numbers of people with old wool blankets, coats, sweaters, baby blankets, and many other forgotten treasures in their closets, attics and basements. I would like to chat with you about bringing new life to these items as teddy bears, so that they can sit in a place of honour, as nostalgic reminders of days gone by and of a special loved one or loved ones. Please phone or e-mail if you would like to chat. I assure you that great care and love will be taken in handling your treasured keepsake.
My desire is for my teddy bears to bring as much joy to my customers as I find in creating them. And that my customers will recall or experience an important part of their past each time they look at or hug their bears.
Please share your bear stories by writing comments.
