Does anyone know of a suitable home for a very sweet old fashioned bear?
Florence (so called because her eyes remind us of our Jack Russell Florence when she is pleading for something) is looking for a new home. She has enjoyed her time here, but finds it all a bit too noisy (especially since the Christmas Tree went up) and needs to settle somewhere warm and cosy before Christmas.
Florence is made from 100% pure German mohair and filled in the traditional way with woodwool and steel shot. She has a rather full (but saggy) belly, and worn parts on her arms and legs. Florence is an old fashioned girl at heart and pleaded with us to wear some vintage lace and a vintage china brooch, all of which she refuses to take off so will be travelling with her. She also has a name tag and a vintage bell. She measures 12 inches from head to toe, but cannot stand unaided.
The adoption fee for Florence is £95.00 plus travel fare, and she is ready to hop in a box and be on her way to you immediately. If you would like to offer Florence a new home please email me at : nicky@thevintagemagpie.co.uk .... she can't wait to meet you.
Have a great weekend everyone...
and wrap up warm if you're on the Island!!

hmmmm.....I think Florence sounds a lot like me...."a rather full (but saggy) belly and worn parts". I only wish I was as cute!

Gosh, cannot believe I have missed 3 of your posts. I love the soup bowls, I have 2 green sugar bowls in the same design, and I love them. But the blue is something else, much nicer!

What a sweet bear Florence is! I have always had a soft spot in my heart for teddy bears. I hope she finds a lovely home. You have such a lovely home and blog!

Ohhh Florence is beautiful but I really can't buy anymore of your lovely things right now. Rose arrived safely and is beautiful, thank you. She is snuggled up next to Prue while I decide whether or not I can allow myself to keep her or if I have to give her away!
