Latest news 05/07/09: Take a look at the two gorgeous new bears from Paula Carter which have just been added to the site. My prediction is that they will not be here for very long so the advice is to move fast if you want either of them.

Book news: My new book - Merrythought Teddy Bears - will be on sale at the Merrythought Open Day on 11th July, ahead of its official publication later in the month. If you want an early copy, head for Ironbridge next weekend!

Other news: Check out the gorgeous Jack & Lilia bears recently added to the site, plus hurry if you want to buy one of my Flutter-By Bears because there's only one left and I won't be getting any more until the autumn. ..

Artist Bears
As you browse our pages you will find a stunning selection of exquisite artist bears created by some of the world’s leading bear artists. Although the bears vary massively in style and size they share two things in common: the first is the brilliance of their respective creators, and the second is the fact that they all reflect different aspects of my own taste in artist bears. I am so proud to have these fabulous artists making bears for Edwina’s Friends. Take a look and see who’s been hard at work for us (and remember, more bears by different artists are coming soon so keep checking back).

More gorgeous bears from other artists coming very soon!
In addition to the artist bears, you will find a small selection of adorable vintage teddies which are looking for loving new homes. They are an eclectic bunch - Steiff, Chad Valley, Pedigree etc - but all have come to Edwina’s Friends because Edwina and I liked the look of them. We hope you do, too.
Bearabilia
For a limited selection of enticing bear-themed collectables, go to the Bearabilia section of the Vintage Bears page. You'll also find details of how to buy a signed copy of my last book, A Collectible History of the Teddy Bear.
