Kirby

Kirby and his favorite quilt up for auction on Bid4Bears along with some really wonderful offerings by other artists. I hope you can take a look.

He is 15" tall; his quilt measures 17" x 20".

New Halloween Bear

Bid4Bears Autumn Artist Power Campaign began this week.

This is Mason and he's ready for Halloween. He'd love for you to stop by and take a look at his auction.

Ronald McDonald House Charities

The Ronald McDonald House Teddy Bear Banquet and Auction has asked for a donation of one of my bears for their annual auction on October 26. I'm thrilled to be able to donate Gina for this great cause. If any of you live in the area of Albany, NY, you might want to check out this auction.
