Show & Tell - Grandpa Moses

A few years back a happy trio came into existance via my EP Designs studio - Three little bears with delightful personalities. I posted two of them previously on this blog - Daisy Bear and Maisy Bear. Today I'd like to introduce to you Grandpa Moses

Here is Grandpa Moses in his rocking chair. He is a very lovable and charming bear.

Grandpa Moses love his rocking chair. He has his own leather bound book into which he plans to write his memoirs some day. He keeps his pipe handy, although this is now out of habit as he dosen't smoke anymore.

Grandpa is dressed in his special buttoned vest with fob-watch chain in his pocket and a chequered scarf around his neck. The old straw hat is handy when Grandpa takes a snooze as he can tilt it over his eyes and rest peacefully.

He's a content and happy bear who loves a cosy spot in a warm & loving home to spend his days.

Teddy Bears and Tea Parties

On the theme of teddy bears and tea parties I thought I'd show you a collection of mini teapots.
They're still a little over sized for Maisy and Daisy bears, however, these gorgeous little teapots are just right for a twosome tea party (using very Small teacups), or would quench the thirst of at least six or seven of Maisy's friends.




It's difficult to pick a favourite out of this group of teapots because they're all gorgeous but I quite favour the three in the front. In fact, you could use all of them at a tea party, each for a different brew. I'm sure that Maisy would approve..... and Daisy would only be too happy to bring a basket or two full of her beautiful, fragrant blooms, straight from her garden.

Now I must head off to find some pretty cups & saucers ..... or perhaps you could help find some and let us know as soon as possible. And of course we need cake plates, serving trays and a selection of delicious cup cakes, slices and biscuits.

If anyone has any of these items we could set up a bloggers tea party right here with Maisy & Daisy. Perhaps you'd like to write a post about this tea party and then place your post link here so we could all join in.

Teddies to Love - Maisy Bear

When Daisy Bear came into being in the EP Designs studio, so did Maisy Bear - the Socialite.




Maisy Bear loves being out and about, going to any social outing you can think of, Maisy is there - theatre shows, luncheons, dinners, suppers, balls, shopping tours, parties. Maisy loves any excuse for a social gathering. Although , her favourite kind are those held with close friends & family. Wherever she goes Maisy makes sure that everyone has a good time. She brings a smile to any face & joy to every heart.



Never has it been found that anyone in her company has left feeling worse than when they came.



Maisy would just love to sit and have a chat with you, or share some bubbly after exhausting you with her shopping travels.

Do you have a special teddy? Then come and say 'hello' to Maisy :)

Daisy Bear

After reading a post on The Tall Poppy about teddy bears, I was prompted to write about my 'recreated' bears. Making or recreating Teddy bears is not my usual craft but a few years back I was inspired to dress up a few cute little bears. I've given them each a name & a little story about them. Here is one of the bears I called Daisy.

DAISY BEAR
HAPPY AT HEART.
Daisy Bear adores her garden. It is her favourite pastime, her passion. And she reaps many rewards from her labours. But Daisy is no selfish bear. She loves to share the fruits of her labour; and many neighbours & friends often find Daisy on their doorstep with an armful of blooms, a pretty bouquet, a basket of fragrant roses, handfuls of spring flowers or a special arrangement of her favourite picks.

Daisy is a special little bear who's found a home with a special little girl.
