Barclay Bainbridge is just passing through…

Posted in bears, hand made | No Comments »

barclay-bainbridge2

Barclay Bainbridge wandered onto the Moor early this morning, drawn by the soft scent of scones floating on the air. How could we resist such a sweet face? He ate his fill, folded his napkin in quite the gentlemanly way, and thanked us quite amiably. He has wonderful personality and so many stories to tell! He had one favor to ask- you see, Barclay is just passing through, looking for a home and could we find him one?

barclay-bainbridge

Barclay is 50% teddy bear, 50% polar bear, and 100% loveable! His name means “birch trees by the white bridge” in old english/gaelic. He’s 10 inches tall, 7 inches sitting, with adorable oversized feet!

He’s made of wonderfully soft, thick and creamy cotton sweater material. His muzzle, ear and paw linings are a coordinating, buttery, coffee-with-cream suede.

He’s stuffed with high quality polyester fiberfil, a touch of lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within his stuffing to make him pleasingly heavy, and oh so huggable!

barclay-bainbridge5

Barclay’s limbs are jointed. He has a pretty vintage metal button at each joint with a lovely basket weave design. They compliment the creaminess of his “fur” so nicely.
barclay-bainbridge3
Barclay has a sweet handstitched black cotton nose and smiling mouth, and cream cotton floss handstitched “claws”.
He has beautiful, shining eyes made of caramel colored tiger eye stone beads.

Barclay Bainbridge would make a unique, handmade collectible gift for someone you love over the age of 12 (due to his small parts, please use your own discretion when buying for someone younger than 12), or add Barclay to your own collection of adorable bears!

Barclay Bainbridge is individually made, like all our bear friends here on the Moor, and comes with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Hopping and skipping over the Moor, Kailey Rosebriar enjoys the lazy last days of summer. The barest of cool breezes mingles with the warm sun,the autum is approaching and Kailey’s adventures are just beginning!
Kailey is 10 inches tall from her head to her adorable oversized feet, 6 1/2 inches sitting.

She’s made of beautiful heather/cafe au lait colored lambswool. Her accents are lavender and evergreen cotton patterned fabric, giving her a very sweet homespun look.

Kailey is stuffed with soft, brand new hypoallergenic polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough double washed pebbles deep within her tummy and feet to make her pleasingly heavy, and “real” feeling.

kailey-rosebriar3

Kailey’s nose is handstitched with pretty lavender cotton floss. Her eyes are deep blue jet beads with pretty highlights that make her eyes shine. Her sweet smile is also handstitched with black cotton floss.

Kailey has lovely shell buttons at her joints that add a sweet, subtle folk art appeal to her that we really love. She even has a sweetly soft handsewn cotton yarn tail.

Benny Bear is looking for a Friend!

Benny Bear ate all his peanut butter waffles (with syrup also please) and dashed out to the swing set this morning to have some fun. He loves adventure, sweet treats, and most of all- hugs! But hold him tight when he rides the swings with you-he’s a little afraid of heights!

 

 benny2

Benny is a super soft, incredibly huggable waldorf style black bear cub. He’s 9 inches tall sitting, 12 ½ inches tall from head to toe. He’s made from repurposed (gently cared for here on the Moor) charcoal colored wool sweater material. It has just a touch of angora, just enough to make him irresistible to cuddle! Benny’s paw and ear linings and muzzle are made of equally soft and loveable chocolate brown cotton knit.

 

Benny is stuffed with soft, lofty, premium quality hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill so he can be washed in the washer ( tie him in a pillow case, wash in cool water, short wash, fluff to dry). He also has a few double washed pebbles deep within his tummy stuffing to make him pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling.

 benny4

Benny’s sweet face is hand stitched with black cotton floss and much love. He’s completely child friendly, and ready to be the best friend to even the littlest one.

 

benny5

Benny also has a cute little cranberry colored flannel heart hand stitched on his tummy to add even more to his folk art charm.

 

Benny would make a lovely, unique, handmade gift for someone you love, or make him the newest friend for your little one!

 

Benny is individually made like all the sweet bear friends here on the Moor, and will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Patton Bearington reminds me of the old days…..

Posted in bears, hand made | No Comments »

patton-bearington5

Patton Bearington is a sweetheart of a teddy bear. His colors, patterns and beautiful vintage crested metal buttons inspired us to think of the 1940’s. Love of country was strong, and goals were sure. A loveable bear might have been made for a child out of Daddy or Grandpa’s worn, velvet jacket with its beautiful brass buttons. A special bear like this might have comforted a small heart when times were tough and souls were determined.

patton-bearington

These thoughts inspired the creation of our Patton!

Patton is 11 inches tall, 6 1/2 inches sitting. He’s made of lovely chocolate brown cotton velvet. His ears and paws are lined with beautiful scarlet plaid flannel.

Patton’s stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of calming dry lavender, and a few steel bb’s deep inside his tummy and feet to give him that irresistible “real” feel that’s so nice to hold.

patton-bearington2

Patton has beautiful shining amber glass safety eyes. His sweet face is handstitched with black cotton floss. He has a cute little nose and an endearing smile!
patton-bearington4
Patton has beautifully created vintage metal buttons from our vintage button collection. They are securely sewn with 6 strand cotton floss.

Due to his small parts, please use your discretion when buying for the very young. Patton is a collectible and not intended for rough play.
patton-bearington1
Patton would also make a fun and unique birthday or other special occasion gift as well. His velvet fur is so soft to touch, and he’s firmly stuffed- He’s just the right feel for an old fashioned bear. Even the young at heart will love Patton’s folk art charm.

Tuck him into your own collection of treasures! Everyone needs a hug and he has a lot of them to give.

Patton Bearington is individually made and he comes with a card dated and signed by the artist.
