New bears and a new/old print now in the Etsy shop!

Please excuse my extreme brevity with this post... I've just come in from outside and my fingers are too cold to adequately manuveur a keyboard...  need some heat!

A circus baby

Since I have such a large bear collection I'm always trying to think of new and safe ways to display them and here's what I've come up with for my tiny bears - their own little hanging homes.  Little Baby Babette even evolved complete with a circus theme.  Somehow working with an actual frame made the story behind the bear really come to the forefront.  It's amazing what can trigger the imagination - even something as simple as an old wooden frame.

You can visit Baby Babette here in the shop for more photos and a bit more detailed info about this cutie. 

A blustery day

~*~*~*~*Hoping to have a tiny little Ellie ready for Etsy some time today!*~*~*~*~*~

The morning was warm and sunny so I was planning on a few hours of photography work this afternoon.  Well, that's not going to happen.  I ventured out, camera in hand, only to find leaves swirling and all the animals heading for their barns.  Even the usually rough and ready donkey boys had gone inside to escape the wind. The temperature had dropped twenty degrees and it had become a very blustery day indeed.

Mr. Eeyore made his way to the fence only because he was hoping I had apples in my pockets.  I didn't and he  gave me some very unhappy looks.  Don't feel too bad though... he had plenty of apples only two hours ago!

And I went out without a jacket (thinking it was still warm) and shivering soon ensued making all further photos look like they were taken as I rolled down a hill!  Bluuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Oh, don't worry so, Eeyore.... I'll bring some apples along with your dinner!
