My name is Lesley and I have been making collector bears for people to cherish for over 20 years at my home in Deal.  Each bear is hand sewn and can take many hours to make.

I particularly enjoy creating small, traditional, jointed bears from mohair and colourful mini bears from felt, experimenting with different styles and colour combinations.

Because of the small parts used, the bears are unsuitable to give to children but are ideal as keepsakes.
