Arrival Date: 2/25/19

Size: 12"

Year: 2009

Edition Size: 3000

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: ebay

Cost: $26

Thoughts: Ruby was a surprise find on ebay. I could not believe her price! $19.99 opening bid, but $26 Buy It Now?!! I  was shocked! And quickly grabbed her. She was never one on my want list, but I always thought she was cute, and she's even cuter in person.

MERCURY

Arrival Date: 2/23/19

Size: 20.5"

Year: 2014

Edition Size: 1600

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: Kitty

Cost: $130

Thoughts: I've wanted Mercury for probably at least a year now. The few times he's popped up on ebay, I had no money. I managed to luck into one from an awesome US seller I've bought from several times before, after seeing someone else get one from her. I'm so thankful she had two! So here he is, my first new bear in my new apartment. He's so soft!

CANDICE

Arrival Date: 2/11/19

Size: 15"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 1660

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $84.95

Thoughts: I automatically wanted Candice's sister Cara from the catalogue. She's shades of pink, gray and black. But Candice grew on me and ended up in my preorders. When people started getting theirs, I was less sure, because quite a few pics had her looking kind of scruffy. But when she arrived with my stockist and I saw photos, I fell in love with this one. And another one, too. It took me probably almost an hour to make all my selections! She is lovely in person and not a bit scruffy if you comb her fur.

MUFFIN

Arrival Date: 2/11/19

Size: 12.5"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 1860

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $68.95

Thoughts: I loved Muffin and Bakewell right away in the catalog. Muffin's color is this rich, luxe, deep blue. It's simply stunning. I love that his paw pads and tickly toes are also blue, while the outer parts are cream. Mine looks like he's lost in thought, which I always love on bears, and I'm amused that his little arms are so thick! He's tiny, but he works out.

TOADSTOOL

Arrival Date: 2/11/19

Size: 13"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 1460 (Mine is #843.)

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $85.95

Thoughts: I fell in love with Toadstool immediately upon seeing the catalogue. I love greens, but especially rich dark greens, and I love his little leafy hat. Then people started getting theirs and I saw some with the cutest little wide-eyed squish faces and I'm so glad I was able to pick one of them! He's soooooooooo cute!
