OZZIE (Rehomed)

Arrival Date: 12/21/17

Size: 21.5"

Year: 2017

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $101.95 after $10 coupon

Thoughts: I thought Ozzie was gorgeous in his promo pics, but I didn't pre-order him right away. I was a little nervous about having too many pre-orders in, especially with two of them being my first mohairs. But as things worked out, I ended up cancelling my Kerri pre-order and replacing her with Ozzie. When people started getting theirs, I hoped the US would get him soon, too, because every Ozzie is gorgeous. There's a lot of variety in the facial patterns. some have more dark by the eyes, more silver, the green is all over the place. I wanted one with the dark eyes and mine definitely has those! He's also got a lovely silver left eye leading into the green patch. His right also has silver, but it's less. There's a neat few strands of fur that are tipped in black though and those are fab. He's just beautiful, a wonderful assortment of colors.

Update: Ozzie was rehomed in June 2018. I needed to cut down on space and he was my biggest bear! I still liked him, but we never really bonded and I think the size was part of it.

SIENNA

Arrival Date: 12/12/17

Size: 13"

Year: 2017

Designer: Kaycee Bears

Purchased From: Beacon's Glow

Cost: $136.95

Thoughts: It's been almost a year since my last Kaycee Bears purchase! Tango arrived on 12/27/16. I wasn't planning on ordering a new one, but when I saw Sienna in a Beacon's Glow newsletter, I went to look at the Autumn 2017 collection and there are some stunning bears (and other animals) there. Sienna won me over though and she came in at the end of last week. Mine arrived today and while she's not huge, her fur is thick and so soft. Her colors are stunning. I adore her!
