Love ‘N’ Memories

A hug you can hold onto. 💚
We had the honor of creating this beautiful memory bear for Andrew’s family. Using the fabric from a favorite button-down, we’ve given this shirt a new life and a new purpose.
Custom-made to be cherished forever. 🧵🧸

Carrying a piece of them with you. 🧸❤️
There’s something so special about the clothes our loved ones wore—the shirt they wore every Sunday, or their favorite patterned button-down. While they may be gone, the memories don’t have to stay tucked away in a closet.
This handsome "Grandad" bear was lovingly handcrafted from a gentleman's shirt, turning a cherished garment into a huggable keepsake that can be passed down through generations.
✨ Custom made with love ‘n’ memories.
Drop a ❤️ if you think this is a beautiful way to remember someone special.

Custom-made, hand-stitched, and full of heart.

From the Florida sun to a huggable friend! ☀️🐆
Check out this stunning memory bear featuring a frayed-edge "Orlando" hat and a mix of classic leopard print and earthy tones. We love how the zipper detail from the original clothing was incorporated—it adds so much character!
Memory bears are the perfect way to honor a special trip, a milestone, or a person who means the world to you.

From a beloved outfit to a lifelong companion. 💙
I recently had the honor of transforming a special outfit—a favorite floral dress, a cozy cardigan, and a pair of classic jeans—into this one-of-a-kind memory bear.
The best part? The little bucket hat is completely reversible, featuring the dress pattern on one side and the denim on the other! It’s all about those tiny, meaningful details that keep memories alive.
Do you have a special outfit tucked away in the back of the wardrobe? Let’s turn it into something you can hold onto forever.

What are your New Year’s resolutions? ✨
This past year was a challenging one for me. Working from home can feel isolating, and I realized my mental health needed more care. While my memory bear business was my sanctuary after a traumatic loss—allowing me the space to heal in private—I’ve reached a point where I’m ready to start "living" again.
To find more balance and social connection, I’ve decided to take on a part-time job outside the house. Don’t worry, I’m not closing! I’ll still be creating your special keepsakes, just on a slightly smaller scale.

Current Booking Update:
My diary is currently closed for new bookings as I transition to my new schedule. However, I am keeping a priority waiting list! If you’d like a memory bear, please message me to be added to the list. I will contact everyone on this list personally once I have new dates available, before I advertise the spaces publicly on my page.
I’m so excited for this new chapter and can't wait to see what this year brings for all of us. Thank you for your patience and support! ❤️

Great idea 💡

Operation: Early Bedtime is in full swing! 🕰️🤫 Who else is guilty of 'adjusting' the clocks on New Year's Eve so 'Midnight' comes a few hours early? 🐻💤
The lookout has realized it's actually only 8:45 PM, but the little one in the pajamas is ready for bed right now! Let the confetti fly, it's midnight somewhere! ✨
