New Changes on Handmade Teddy Bears and Raggedies

I'm so appreciative of all the amazing artisans who agreed to be featured on Handmade Teddy Bears and Raggedies. I will still feature them, but as regular readers know, I feature the same artisans all the time. If something catches your eye, you'll probably click on the link, check out the shop, and see all the handmade teddies or raggedy dolls that the shop keeper has for sale. Soooo...the posts here might not be anything new to you. And I certainly don't want you all bored!

Thus, I'm going to be venturing far and wide and also incorporate new handmade teddies or raggedies I see online and make posts about them. As I said, I'll still be featuring many of the regulars whom you've seen on here before, but I'll also be adding some new stuff. I want this to be a blog you'll want to check out on a regular basis to see some of your favorites and some new who might become your favorites!

If you make handmade teddy bears and/or rag dolls, please email me at iluvffmn - at - yahoo - dot - com and send me the link to your shop or blog. That way I can write a post about you, too! :)

You can also link up at the Sunburnt Cow link party, and you'll catch my eye that way.

Handmade Rabbit from One of Our Featured Artisans

As some of you may know, I love bunny rabbits as much as I love bears and raggedies. And guess what I received in the mail recently! A bunny rabbit from Michelle's Bears!

She even sent the bunny with her very own bunny friend (and a sweet pin, which I forgot to take a picture of. Sorry, Michelle!)
A pretty and regal ruffle, wouldn't you say?
Old fashioned looking buttons and tags. (She also has a flower atop her head). The attention to detail is wonderful, and even though she looks elegant, she's very sturdily made.

She's made out of vintage velvet and is jointed and can sit if propped. Some of her fur is very soft, while other parts are a little stiff to get a more worn look. (I'm not sure of the process, but whatever it is, she looks like an antique, though not fragile).

As I mentioned in my review of Custom Teddys' wee bear I received, I like to name my bears (and now rabbits) after ancestors. So I'm naming this beauty Eleanor of Aquitaine. She kind of looks regal, yet she looks like an "Ellie." :)

To see more of Michelle's handiwork, please check out Tbmum's Etsy shop.
