Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am an English Teddy Bear Artist from the UK and have been selling my Cupboard Bears worldwide since 1994.

Over the years, my bears and their friends have found homes on every continent, leading me to make many wonderful friendships along the way.

My passion for stitching dates back to my early childhood, inspired by the seamstresses in my family. I have always been drawn to fabrics, hunting for them in various places to create unique creations.

From a young age, I took requests for soft toys from classmates and eventually began selling them for charity. The joy of creating something special for others has always fueled my work.

Every creation I make is a product of my imagination, sparked by different fabrics or trims. I take pride in using top-quality materials to bring each bear and character to life with intricate details.

Each of my Cupboard Bears is hand-sewn and filled with care, incorporating glass beads and top-quality fillings for a huggable weight. The attention to detail includes jointed limbs, high-quality fabrics, and hand-stitched features like claws and noses.

I also knit the charming cardigans and sweaters for my bears, adding an extra layer of coziness to their outfits.

I have a particular fondness for using vintage lace and trims, appreciating the character they bring to each creation. When using these materials, I embrace their imperfect, well-loved look as part of the bear's charm.

Every bear and friend will come with a signature swing tag, showcasing my name and the bear's name, along with a tag sewn into their back.

Creating these Cupboard Bears fulfills my creative spirit and I am grateful for the support and love shown by those who adopt them. Your kindness has allowed me to pursue my passion and I am truly thankful for that.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth. x
