A new 2009 Teddy Bear



This is a mini Teddy bear designed and created by me, Chantal Giroux.



If you want to Adopt him, here is the link where you will find all details about him.

http://chantalbears.viviti.com/rupert

Rupert, an old style bear, is a big 3 inches when standing on his legs, made from a soft and long pile fabric.



His face is finished with gentle shadings.
He is filled with a new material, five way jointed and weighted.





He has black glass eyes, a lacey collar around his neck.
He is so sweet and has a lot of love to give.
I'm sure He will find a sweet Mommy soon.
He comes from a smoke-free home.



I would like to Thank You for taking the time to visit my creation.
If you have any questions or comments, I would be happy to respond.


I am completely honored to have had my teddy bears included in Teddy Bear Review, on front cover in April 2007 Bears and Buds Ezine, First place a few months ago of the Threadteds Challenge and finalist for the 2007 URSA contest
I must also tell that I'm very spoiled by the continued support of my collectors who are bringing me wings for creation.
Thank you .

Chantal's Bears Collection are sold with a Display Box, Birth certificate.
Chantal's Bears are intended as suitable only as adult collectibles and are not safe for small children
My patterns are uniquely designed from start to finish by myself. I don't follow any patterns ; my bears are unique, and coming straight from my heart to your home.

Quebec for a check-up

I'm preparing all my stuff to go to Quebec this night ; there, I will have tests for my eye after 3 injections treatments...

So I will be back on Thursday.... again 1600 kms... a long trip, for I hope, good results.

I'm more afraid of all tests than the injection... could you believe it..
