Our Story

My name is Gill - Family & Bear cute keepsakes are my passion. I have been creative for many many years. I have enjoyed cross stitch, knitting & making cuddly toys including memory bears for friends & family, up until recently only as a hobby, I have always loved the reaction of those friends & family when I present them with my creation from their memories, I won't deny I have shed a tear or two,         these are such a special & thoughtful gift to keep a happy lasting memory!  Everyone has always told me I should create these special         gifts for others but until now I have been too busy looking after my family.  With our youngest son now at high school this has given me more time (although I do have 3 wonderful grandchildren now) to share my creations with others, lockdown number 1 due to covid in      2020 made my mind up that I was finally going to have the confindence  to launch bear cute keepsakes to see if the interest was there ? It certainly was & I am happy that I have been making bears non stop ever since, it fills me with pride that the love, time & effort I put into my creations is appreciated by others & gives my customers a lasting memory from clothes that their special someone used to wear. I understand this even more now after losing my own beloved Mum in 2020.
