Thoughts: THIS GUY. I was silly and did not have him on my initial preorder list, but quickly added him on with some others. So I was fourth in line to pick and really hoping people would be fast so I could get him before vacation. I'm very grateful to the three people in front of me for being way faster than people usually are. He is GORGEOUS. He's got kind of an upturned head, so he's very endearing, and his fur is lovely. He's a little on the skinny side, definitely not as big as I was expecting. He's coming along on vacation with me. 

HARVEST MOON

Arrival Date: 11/28/23

Size: 15"

Year: 2023

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $133

Thoughts: My stockist's husband has had some medical issues, so she's gotten behind in her latest deliveries. Thankfully, he seems to be on the mend and she was able to catch up enough that I got two of my three preorders before I left for vacation. I've been so eagerly awaiting these three. Harvest Moon here was one of my most wanted from the 2023 catalogue and she does not disappoint one bit. I love orange yet I don't have many orange bears. Pink, purple and blue are definitely the favored "different" colors in CB world. Harvest Moon is in the same style as Blue Moon, who I got a while back, and there's an upcoming pink one named Rose Moon. Harvest is obviously going to be my fave though. Her colors. Wow. They're absolutely stunning.
