DAHLIA - A New Little Lady

Here is little Dahlia, a new little 8 inch poppet that I have created in a vintage style.

Dahlia is made from mohair and has boot button eyes. She is filled with polyflock and pellets for a gentle weighted feel and has been trimmed and shaded to give her an aged appearance.

She is also wearing a little tutu and necklace and headband. If you are interested in adopting little Dahlia, please visit my website at www.bootbuttonbears.com for more details.

Adelaide's Special Guests......

WANG WANG

In 2008, Adelaide Zoo was lucky enough to be chosen to host two Panda's from the Wolong Panda Research Centre in China. The two pandas are able to live in Adelaide for ten years, and the hope is that as they get older, they may breed, helping to increase the numbers of this at risk species. Wang Wang was born in 2005 and is the little boy, and Funi was born in 2006 and is the little girl. Both were very young babes at the Wolong Centre in China when the dreadful earthquake hit in May of 2008. Thankfully, 280 Panda's survived at the Centre after the earthquake, but unfortunately Wang Wang's Mum, Mao Mao, did not. Wang Wang is very laid back in his style and takes things in his stride, Miss Funi is quite agile and loves to chase around quite a bit. If you are ever in Adelaide, please take the chance to visit the Adelaide Zoo and see these wonderful animals. We are so lucky to have them here.

FUNI

Please meet Clyde.......

Please meet young Clyde, a 13" fellow that I have created in an antique style. Clyde has just gone onto ebay. If you want to visit him, there is a link on my website at www.bootbuttonbears.com

I have just read in the paper about this amazing new dog kennel for pampered pooches to stay at whilst their owners are away. The newspaper had dubbed it "Barkingham Palace" and it is in the Adelaide Hills, about 40 minutes away from us. I am sure our little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Muffy, would be completely at home there. The photo of the dear little Cavalier shows him having his morning "puppyccino", made from lactose free milk and dusted with liver sprinkles. Isn't that just the best photo ever.

FRED BEAR - Now On Ebay...

I have just put this new little poppet on Ebay. He is 13 inches tall and I have called him Fred. I hope you can take a peek at him. If you visit my website, you will find a link, www.bootbuttonbears.com
