“Thank you so much for sending Konig to me. He was beautifully packaged. He is adorable! I won’t hesitate to use you guys in the future and will be recommending you to others. I am keeping a close eye on your website! “

Donna, from North Ayreshire sent this fantastic photo and says:-

“Just to say, thanks for sending Konig - he is an absolutely beautiful bear, (tiger) who has been greatly admired and settled in well. Thanks also for the daily newsletter updates, which are a nice addition to my day. Keep safe and sending bear hugs.”

“Hello, AND oh my, KONIG!!!!! He is truly magnificent. What a face. Thank you for sending him and his little pussy cat friend Rodders so promptly. Rodders is such a sad little cat, he needs  a lot of cuddles. But, Konig the tiger is the best, such personality. Thank you very much.”

“First of all, I want to thank you for your daily emails. I’m on the shielded list and have not been out of the house since 14th March, so I get comfort from the communication. Now to the best part, as I received Roulade today and I really cannot believe how quickly he got here. Once again, it’s a very big THANK YOU for your much valued service. I’m not very good with modern technology, but I’m going to try and send a photo.”

She says “Just love him xxxxx”

Roulade is so popular, that we have sold out all the ones we had in stock already, but don’t panic….. we have more to come, so you can pre-order him HERE.

“Hi - update: ordered yesterday “wow” just came today, so pleased”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGINA!!

KELLY IS IN STOCK NOW… if you would like one of your own

The Minimo Pearl Grey is an adorable mouse, made from the finest grey wool on the head, arms and legs. She has a little pink hand-stitched nose and mouth, dark eyes, light grey paw pads and the little ears have got some airbrushing for definition.

“Wow he’s a handsome bear thank you so much. Totally brilliant I always know if my husband likes him he’s perfect. I showed him lots of pictures of this bear but he thought this was the one, and he doesn’t do bears. So pleased with him. Thank you so much. Looking forward to the next in this set.”

“THIS BOWL IS TOO BIG FOR ME!”

“That is my bowl….. you need a smaller cooking set!”

Puts a new perspective to the word “self raising”

For the record, Shenanigans
(and spoon) weighs 11oz!

“WHAT A MESS!!”

“Whoops, the flour is on my nose!…..
I’m going to sneeze…. ATTCHOOOO!”

He was sooo eggscited, he put the egg shell on his head instead…..
and look where his cap is……

“Can I lick the spoon??”

“I want mini muffins”

A bit of a mess on the tin, but he did quite well - a few were more filled up than others.

“YUM!!!!”

“I’M STUFFED!!!!!”

While I was making my muffins, I had a little stowaway in my apron!!

“I have finally succumbed and pre-ordered Shenanigans, oh dear. My furry critters informed me I had to!”

If you would like one of your own, then pre-order HERE. He is a great price, at £35, especially as he is a Limited Edition bear!

I have been trying my best to reply to each person individually, but I am struggling to keep up with everything, therefore, if you haven’t heard from me after sending anything, then please can I say “THANK YOU” here and I will do my best to feature your comments/photos in a future newsletter. PHEW!!!

On Friday 15th, I was just about to send our newsletter at 4:55pm, which was a later time than usual and we got an email from Janet:-
“Hope everything is okay your end?…. missing your daily email today’

I replied:-
“I had a chuckle when I saw you were wondering where the newsletter was yesterday….. at least I know you must be looking forward to getting them and was feeling disappointed when one hadn’t arrived… I must be doing something right then Ha! Ha!”

Well….. we didn’t send one yesterday, as Stace and I took a few rare hours off in the afternoon and went for a lovely walk, so I ran out of time to finish it.
Here are a few photos from our walk to share with you:-

I replied:-

“I am happy to be the “other woman” in your relationship…… I have only been married for 24 years in July, but after this amount of time, I don’t think Stace, my husband will be bothered or jealous…… I think he needs to take a leaf out of David’s book and start romancing me again…… before I really am “the other woman”!!!!”

Does this sound familiar to anyone?……. I am always happy to help and offer advice with any romancing prezzies! Ha! Ha!

ALL IN STOCK NOW!!

LANSON IS IN STOCK NOW!!

If you have just started getting our emails today, or haven’t seen Shenanigans Saving The Day yet, this is the final photo in my picture/poem story and shows LITTLE MISS MUFFET & SHENANIGANS at the end of a stressful time…. and INCY WINCY SPIDER has been hidden under SHENANIGANS’ hat!!

LITTLE MISS MUFFET & INCY WINCY have been very popular and they are
IN STOCK NOW if you would like them.

“Just wanted to say, I loved the Shenanigans Saves the Day story I love the little spider…. wish they sold him separately Thanks for brightening my day!”

My reply…..

“Well……. you could look at it this way……. INCY WINCY SPIDER can be purchased (for £69)…… and you just happen to get a ‘FREE’ LITTLE MISS MUFFET with him!! Note: all spiders purchased from us are coweb free… so no extra cleaning needed!!”

“Hello Hayley, Jade and Stace, Shenanigans has arrived expertly packed as always, he looked like he was in his own little cot. He has made friends with Kit and Billie , so now I have a Red nosed gang. All three of them look like they are up to mischief, I must hide the biscuits!! Stay safe, big hugs”

You can see what she means by “he looks like he was in his own little cot” in the photo sent to us by Ann in Wiltshire.

“Thanks so much for the safe delivery of Shenanigans who arrived safely one day last week, but I wasn’t allowed to open the box until today, May 13th, as its my Birthday and was a present from my husband. He reminds me of Angus Young from ACDC, who my son was an avid fan of and used to drive me up the wall, playing his music so loudly. As soon as my son saw him, he knew who he was straight away, as did my Daughter. I think I will have to keep an eye on him as he may go walk about.”

“I’m back again! Thank you very much for sending Charlie Year Bear so quickly and so beautifully packaged last week (and choosing a pretty one for me). I have been considering Willamena for a while and trying to persuade myself that I cannot afford any more bears at the moment, but a few customers in Hayley’s emails have received her and said how lovely she is, so I have crumbled! (The emails must be doing their job and getting more people to buy bears.) Keep up the good work and keep smiling!”

So, this is WILLAMENA, who is
IN STOCK NOW & COMES WITH A FREE GIFT WORTH £25!!

WILLAMENA is paired with WILFY and Val, from East Sussex has sent us this great photo, she says:-

“As you can see Hayley, Wilfy has arrived today and couldn’t wait to get out his box.”

Can you spot ALDWYN & GRANDFATHER OF THE MOUNTAINSon the settee??

Both are also IN STOCK NOW

Here is another WILFY, who has just arrived and his new owner, Susan, from Scotland is very pleased with him:-

“Just want to say that Wilfy arrived safe and well today and I absolutely love him. Thank you so much, once again, for your friendly and excellent service.”

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Dennis that arrived early today. Wow oh wow, what a bear! He really is Something very special. Wilfy arrived last week, although as he is a birthday present from my boys I am not allowed to see him yet, I just hope they don’t claim him as theirs! Really looking forward to seeing him soon. Loving the newsletter, it’s become a bear club, spreading the happiness during a difficult time.”

I have heard some news from the farm…… via the resident bears there……. it’s a special day for the farms owners, Andrew and Elise, because they are celebrating their

So I am sure you will all want to join me in saying ………

“Just to say, you have really surpassed yourself with today’s ditty, together with the pictures, it’s fantastic. (referring to yesterdays newsletter, with LITTLE MISS MUFFET + INCY WINCY) We look forward to your daily updates so much, they are really keeping us smiling. All the photos are great and the Down on the Farm ones in particular are brilliant. The latest ones really had us hankering after ALDWYN…..”

…… and guess what??

…… he is now on the way to them!!

“That was brilliant, I loved the story of Miss Muffet. Lots of people will miss your daily emails I’m sure, whenever this is all over. You’re doing a grand job. I also think Shenanigans deserves a medal for the most entertaining lockdown bear! So many have taken him to their hearts, including me. We view down on the Farm together and mine no longer wants to do gardening, but keep chickens and ride a tractor.”

“Shenanigans arrived today!!! What a cheeky face he has!! He is sitting on Aldwyns’ leg at the moment (with Pepper Pot, who was keeping Aldwyn company until Shenanigans arrived), but I think he is studying the hug to see who he can make mischief with!!!”

She thinks he may have a big task on his hands and we certainly agree with this!!

If you are impressed with ALDWYN and want a bear to stand out in your hug…. then he is the bear to buy and is IN STOCK NOW!!

We have known their daughter Marysa since about 2013 and we have received the following email from her recently:-

Do you remember the newsletter about David, who calls us from his shed to order surprise presents for his wife? Well, I published his story on the 10th May and this was their 51st Wedding Anniversary!!
I didn’t know this, so what a coincidence and great timing!!!

“What a wonderful email and we are so thrilled to get the smashing picture of David in his shed. I cannot tell you what a laugh we are having!
Today is our 51st Wedding Anniversary and it feels very strange not to have our family round here helping us celebrate, but I do have my bears sitting with me on the sofa as I type this, so they are keeping me company. David is reluctant to go down to his shed today, as it is very cold and windy, BUT if you still have Dan he would like to buy him for an Anniversary present! So fingers crossed.
Thank you again for your cheerful messages.”

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet

eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider, who sat down beside her

and frightened miss muffet away.

I’m constantly working and definitely not shirking,

no cleaning gets done at all.

Just look at the spider who’s climbed up behind her,

there’s cobwebs all over the wall.

We then heard a crash and made a mad dash

What would be Shenanigans fate??

Look what we found, he’d crashed to the ground

and landed on top of the plate!!

“Hello to all you amazing people. So look forward to your regular emails with stories and pictures. I am sending you a percentage of my collection, mainly Charlie Bears. My son who is with me whilst on lockdown, has taken over the ‘bear room’ to practice his Kung Fu. Thank you for keeping our spirits up.”

“Shenanigans has arrived safe and sound. I think every home should have one.
Amazing customer service as ever. Your emails are always excellent but today’s (9/05/2020) was the best so far. Stay safe.”

I couldn’t agree with Stuart more, when referring to Shenanigans, “every home should have one”. Unsurprisingly, this cheeky chappie has been very popular, so if you want one of your own, then you can pre-order him here. He is a Limited Edition bear and Charlie Bears have sold out, so we can’t order more, therefore pre-order now while you still can and you will then be guaranteed to get one.

“Thank you for your daily emails, they are so uplifting and make us feel part of a community even though we are all apart. I pre-order my bears through you, I can’t afford as many as some can, but I treasure every one. My daughter and I are hoping to travel from our home town in Dover to visit you in person one day when this is all over. Thank you so much for bringing so many of us
together at this difficult time.”

“Jack wasn’t sure about getting his picture taken with the group, but he decided he was brave enough and wanted to be with his other friends for the picture!”

You’re not seeing double… she loved him so much that they bought 2!!

“Thank you for the lovely rainbow, a little sense of reality in this crazy world.
Thank you, from all my bears and me.”

“I’ve just been reading your email newsletter for today (really enjoy them by the way) and have been tempted to preorder Logan. He is lovely and I didn’t get that feeling before seeing him alongside all the other rainbow bears. He looked at me and made a connection. It’s really strange, as that didn’t happen the first time I saw him; maybe it’s because I look at things much differently during this troubled time and am taking more time to appreciate the things around me. Anyway, I was hooked from the minute I saw him yesterday. You’re all doing a fantastic job at Corfe Bears and it’s much appreciated.”

HERE IS LOGAN!!!

“Just to say, I received Orchard yesterday, safely and beautifully packed
and she is lovely! - Thank you

Lea - IN STOCK NOW

Prairie

“PILOT PETE is trying to see if he can get me to open my birthday box of chocolates (haha).”

“Here is SHENANIGANS trying to help me write this email - he really is a cheeky, loveable little chap.”

……. SO NOW WE WAIT FOR AN UPDATE FROM GILLIAN…..
will it be chaos outside???

ARE YOU BRAVE?? …. I dare you to buy a SHENANIGANS of your own…..
go on…. you will probably have a great laugh and you can’t put a price on happiness, can you?? Well… actually I can… he is £35!! Ha! Ha! Well worth it!
