Hello everyone, we've had such a lot of bears in hospital recently and a whole family of memory bears have been born. I'll start adding some photos. This is a before and after for a lovely bear who went home last week.

Hello everyone, just a note to clarify, we only deal with repairs via this page. There is currently a waiting list and turnaround times are approximately 6 weeks. If you would like us to repair a bear please message us (don't 'phone as you will not get a reply) with clear photos of the bear especially any damage and tell us what you would like done. We will then respond with a suggested plan of work and an estimate of cost. Please note, bears will have to be posted to us as work takes place in the New Forest. Best wishes, Matron

More bears on their way home this week!

Hello everyone, sorry to have been away for so long, we've been dealing with illness and bereavements and a considerable backlog of repairs. Thank you for your patience.

If you have a bear needing repair we can help but you will have to post it to Matron in the New Forest. We have used "next day tracked mail" for years without incident for long distance bears. Many bears have been treated and recouperated in the New Forest, if you want to proceed then please send us photographs of the bear and any damage and we will give you an estimate, once this is accepted we will message you with posting details. When Teddy arrives we will examine him/her and come back to you to agree the work and any changes to the estimate.

Our first bear born since leaving the shop and it’s a Reggie! We are going to continue making and selling bears, mainly to order, so if you would like a Reggie please do let us know.

We can alter fur types and colours and paw pad material and colours to suit your requirements. This particular bear is made as a collectors item so is not child safe but we can change the eyes and joints if you would like us to make a bear for someone under 12.

This particular bear is handmade from sparse golden wheat mohair with ultra suede pads, glass eyes, cotter pin joints, and steel shot weighting. He would be priced at £85

So that’s it, we are now out of our shop! It’s been a bit of a slog but all the bears for sale are in new homes and the patients in the hospital are either back with their families or in a temporary field hospital!

It’s been a great five years and we have been overwhelmed by all the messages of support. We were also really pleased that as we were clearing out several people enquired about renting the shop. It would be great to see another small business in there again soon.

We thought you might like to see a view of the shop not many saw, the lively vaulted cellar which actually fun’s some way under next doors yard and we think would have once connected under a fair portion of the properties in the street. Sadly it was a bit damp to use but would be great if one day it could be a workshop or something similar.

Thanks again for all your support and please do keep an eye on this page for updates.
