Bear love ~

I'm constantly amazed at the generosity
expressed here in the land of blog!!!
Saturday a package arrived from a sweet blog reader
with a special surprise inside ~
a precious handmade bear!!!
It's made from a beautiful old quilt
with wear in just the right places...
Gretchen makes each and every one herself and sent me one as a gift!!

Well, you know where this little cub is going....
right on the bed to wait for our sweet Clara to play with.
I thought I would keep him here as a special friend
to play with when she visits!

Thank you so very much Gretchen, he's absolutely wonderful!!!
You can visit Gretchen's website at PatchyBears.com ~

Rebecca at Vintage Living is having a birthday giveaway!!!
~ Just click HERE to visit her blog and read all about it ~
There will be SEVEN winners too!!!

Can you even believe it's December 21st??? I believe we're finished shopping finally and now I just need to wrap a few more gifts. Clara's slowly getting better, thank you so much for your sweet prayers!! Hopefully by Christmas she'll be back to herself again ~

Wishing you a great Monday dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
