Royal Bartie ...

Our special commemorative wedding Bartie is limited to 12 only. We now only have 5 left to order.

He is available for £195.00+pp

We will be at Hugglets this Sunday. Hope to see you there.

Real Fur Bears ....

We are so pleased to be able to offer a service quite unique. We can turn vintage fur coats in to delightful little bears. This is a lovely way to accept those 'hand me downs' that you simply don't want to throw away but don't want to wear.

Solent Bartie 2011 edition

With much excitement we are pleased to now introduce you to our new Bartie Bristle.

Our New Forest Bartie 2010 edition closed at 30!

CANCELLED.....

Due to the weather, we have had to cancel the Christmas Workshop due to be held this morning from 10.00am. So sorry for any inconvenience. (now Amanda and I will have to eat all the Quality Street on our own). Keep safe and warm!

Updates...

What a truly festive feel to life at the moment!
The New Forest Christmas Teddy Bear Fair was a wonderful event with freezing temperatures, spiced apple juice and goulash soup. I'm very pleased it was not organised for this weekend as many of our exhibitors had a long way to travel. The thick snow and ice have left the village looking beautiful but with school closed I have been sewing and typing mainly from home.
Our next event will be the Christmas workshop on Saturday 18th Dec and we do still have a couple of places left for that.

We are very pleased to announce the safe arrival of our plush, child-friendly Bartie Bristle.
He is available to purchase at £14.99 exc p+p

Join us on 28th November in Beaulieu village hall for the New Forest Christmas Teddy Bear Fair where Bartie will be on sale alongside the new book, 'Bartie's Christmas'.
Julie will be signing copies on request.
We look forward to seeing you all there.

General Update.

What a busy summer! We have met so many lovely people coming in to the shop over the school holidays - it has been a joy to be so busy!
We now look forward to Hugglets Bear Festival at Kensington on 12th September. This will be a great opportunity for us to introduce our customers to the new 'design your own' or 'bespoke' Bartie service that we now offer. We will be in the basement of Stand 98 and look forward to meeting you there.
