ELSIE (Rehomed)

Arrival Date: 3/12/18 (Rehomed 3/12/21)

Size: 13.5"

Year: 2018 Secret Collection

Designer: Heather Lyell

Purchased From: Charlie Bears Direct

Cost: $54

Thoughts: Elsie was not originally on my want list for 2018, because while she looked cute, she was supposed to be a "shopping telly" exclusive. I figured maybe US QVC would get her, too, but I didn't plan on it so I put her out of my mind, although people's photos of her on Facebook were very cute. So I was surprised when she appeared on CB Direct. Unfortunately. it was while I was at work and she sold out, but thankfully, she turned up again the next day and became a present from my mom. She arrived today after a milder bit of FedEx annoyance than I had with Together, and she's adorable. Very soft and I like the pale pink and cream colors. She is VERY wobble-jointed though. She's supposed to be, but these ones always make me nervous and a bit annoyed, because she was so wobbly, she couldn't even be held and look at me properly. I don't want to hold a bear with a head that keeps flopping about, so I wrapped a pink ribbon around her neck a few times and now she's far more secure.
