There is a precious blog written by a wonderful woman. It is called "The Bear's Blog" and she makes Teddy Bears. A fantasy place where bears rule. A bear called Prudence pretty much runs things and oft times gets herself into trouble..but she tells the truth..
While I was off playing sick in the Emergency Room of our local hospital, a package arrived.

Meet my Abigail!
You should probably click on the photo if you are a lover of beautiful Bears...because this one is just amazing!
When we arrived home a big box was sitting on the floor of my office...and Sweet Husband was grinning from ear to ear.
Joyce had told me ahead of time so I had been watching and waiting for Abigail. I was not sure what to expect but knowing Joyce just the little I do, I knew it would be something special. AND was I in for a surprise!
I have never owned a hand made Bear. Her paw pads are of suede..and her fur is like nothing I have ever seen before. She is silver..almost a lavender blue color.
Difficult to explain but the photo is pretty true. This Bear is amazing. Her little nose so carefully stitched...her body is so sturdy and heavy. She is weighted..and feels wonderful when you pick her up. Her eyes are so real looking that I could swear they follow me around the room. I cannot even imagine the work that went into making her.
She came with the following letter of introduction...
I sat here crying...and nearly had my husband in tears.
It had been such a horrible three days...lots of emotions...and Abigail just brought so much love with her...and sort of represents all the wonderful bloggers out there who care for others and give so much of themselves. Joyce sent me a part of her heart when she sent Abigail to me.
"Abby and me.."
For all of you who do so much for others...share your lives, your homes and your families, your pets and your talents, and most of all your hearts...thank you!
You make my day, every single day.
Anyway...I just wanted to share Abigail with you
because she represents what blogging is all about.
Loving one another.
See you in the morning for coffee? :)
