The Vintage Magpie

Maude

Meet little Maude ...

She is sitting in my Etsy shop, quite happily basking in the sunshine that is streaming through the window, and quietly hoping she will have a new forever home very soon!

If you get the chance, do pop over and say hello - more pictures to see :)) 

Have a great weekend everyone xx

Sneak Peek!

This aged little bear will be in my Etsy shop tomorrow (Friday 7 June) at 9am GMT - if I can bear to part with her!!

See you then xx

LOST!

My heart broke this morning when I heard the news about the old bear that has been found at Bristol airport, along with this photograph of his owners!

The back of the picture postcard reveals that the photograph was taken in 1918.

And here he is, the ted over 100 years old, now waiting for someone to claim him back!  He looks like he's had the stuffing knocked out of him somewhat - quite the life of a travelling bear!

You can read the full story here.

Alfie

Meet Alfie.

Alfie is quite small, but despite his size a very brave bear.  He fears nothing.

Nothing ... except being alone.

He is currently sitting in my little Etsy shop, crossing his paws that he finds a new home very soon.

If you get the chance, do pop over and say hello - lots more pictures to see :))

ALFIE IS NOW ADOPTED, thank you xx

Have a great weekend everyone xxx

Sneak Peek ..

This brave little bear will be in my Etsy shop tomorrow morning, Friday 1st June at 9am :))))

A Little Quiet Time ...

A little quiet time in my studio - a luxury not to be sniffed at.  And news bears being stitched, a little at a time.  

Happy Days :))) xx

Holidays ...

We are so grateful it is half term.  I have three very tired children, and I am one very tired mother !  So come rain or shine we are heading out to get some air and some space this week.

Leaving school, its work and exams behind us.

and saying hello again to the countryside :)) 

Hope you all enjoy the week x

Bertie

Beautiful Bertie is now sitting in my Etsy shop, gazing out at the morning sunshine streaming in through the little window, whilst quietly humming to himself.  

Do pop over and say hello, there are more handsome pictures of him to see :)) xx

Hippity hop ..

Little Audrey bunny has just hopped into my Etsy shop :)) xx

Sneaky Peek ...

This handsomely rugged worn old boy will be in my Etsy Shop tomorrow hoping for a new home.  We just need to gather his things and steady  his nerves!  He is 11.5 inches tall and a lovely sturdy weight, with a lovely plump belly - just like all the best bears!

Stay tuned :) xx
