Dear Dean, I sent you a note from your website address but wanted to make sure you heard from me regarding the stunning, wonderful bears I received...I can not say enough ---except----"THANK YOU so very much. After the bears came out of the box I immediately looked at the other furs in my closet and thought what beautiful BEARS you coats and jackets could become. I will do some serious thinking regarding my other coats in a couple of months. I love the faces on each bear, they have personalities that make you smile at each one. But holding each bear is a joy, there is a feel to them that is delightful.
Thank you again for your talents, I include your wife also in my Thank You.  — D.N.


Dear Dean and Tonya, The bear arrived yesterday and it is even more adorable than in the photograph. I really knew it was something very special when I gave it to my daughter and her eyes lit up as they used to when she was a little girl. You have given us a beautiful family heirloom which I am certain my daughter will share it with her children when she has them. Thank you for such a wonderful gif. — L.


Hello Dean and Tonya, I received the bears today and they are soooooo cute I can hardly stand it. So… now the million dollar question… do you still have any of the fur left – I would like to order another one.  Thank you again for your efforts to make the bears – I am going to take them to work tomorrow to show them off – I think they are absolutely darling.  I am so lucky to have found your company.
My very best to you both, — L.


Hi I picked up my bears at the post office this morning. They are more than I expected they would be. I can't believe how beautiful they turned out. I guess I had forgotten how dark and how pretty my fur stole was. Thanks so much. I will show them to many people. My son & Daughter-in-law will be coming next week I am sure they will be as pleased as I am. — C. M.


Hi Dean and Tonya, Our bears have arrived at their new home and are WONDERFUL! I'm hanging onto all four for a while; we will be personally delivering them to the grandchildren (don't worry -- they are all in the 40s) who are scattered throughout the Northeast so they will be finding their real homes throughout the spring. The one with the monogram, of course, is for me. Love the "bling" on the scarf! And you are right -- each one is unique and has a different personality. Our bears are a joyous reminder of my mother and will bring a smile and the happiest of memories each time we look at them. Again -- thank you for your artistry! — M. & J.


Hi Dean and Tonya! Yesterday I received the MOST lovely TREASURES, and they nearly brought me to tears they are so wonderful! From the brooches to the original Max Zeller tag on the other bear's cape.  My gosh! I LOVE what you have done. I thank you soooooooo much! Keep doing what you do. You have preserved a memory in a special way, and they even still have the scent of my grandmother. EVERYONE I showed them to are so awed by them.  You made my year! It is absolutely a wonderful gift of love that you provide. All the BEST to you — C. M.


They're here and they are fabulous! I can't thank you enough for making all these adorable bears! They are sure to be a most treasured keepsake for the grandchildren. You are just wonderful! Many thanks!

Dean & Tonya: I just want to tell you what an absolutely beautiful job you did. I was so surprised and cried with joy. You did a fabulous job with such an old mink and it is just precious. I opened my gift Christmas Eve and brought her to all the parties! Everyone said she is just darling. Thank you so much for all your hard work. She is one of the best gifts I have ever received. — K.M.


I wanted to let you know how thrilled everyone was with the bears from Mom's coats. Needless to say, there were tears, but of shear joy and memories. A friend who owns a monogram machine made bows that said "Grammy" for the granddaughters, for around thier necks, and then we put plain red bows on for my sisters and me - red was mom's favorite color.

Now, how on earth did you make each bear have their own expression?  The day after they arrived and I had the bows on them I lined them up for a photo shoot, and I'd swear they each had a different expression.

I could to go on and on - Thanks just doesn't seem like enough. The eighth bear will go to my daughter's all girls high school auction, as she is a senior this year, so I think it will be a fitting good bye. I will do my best to get a picture to you of the line up. Thanks again, — L.O.


I wanted you to know what a huge hit the bear is. My mom is absolutely thrilled and said it’s the best gift I’ve ever given her. She said whenever she looks at it she thinks of her mom and she thinks of me. What else could you ask for!! All  of her brothers who are still living have seen it, and photos are being sent by email across the country to all the grand kids and great grand kids. My mom has explored the bear in detail and has commented on your attention to detail. What a wonderful heirloom. We can’t wait for the rest of the bear family to arrive. — A.A.


Dean, I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful bear that was made. It looks extraordinary. I know my wife is going to be extremely surprised and happy with the outcome. I also want to thank you and Tonya for the professionalism and courtesy you both displayed anytime I called. It was a true pleasure dealing with you. Thanks again. — D.M.


Dean, I truly appreciate your hard work and prompt response. My mom died a little over a year ago, had 4 girls and 3 granddaughters. One of those granddaughters will graduate this year from high school, so we are donating the 8th bear to her school's auction as a memento item to raise funds. I think everyone is lucky to have a remembrance of a special woman, and I thank you all for helping me make that happen.— L.O.


Dear Dean and Tonya, I JUST LOVE THEM - they are so darling and each one has it's own personality! You have made this holiday very special for us! I certainly will pass your name on to others! I also have 2-minks stoles that I will be contacting you next year about and might even have you make a few more of the perian lamb ones. Thanks so much again! Best wishes, J.


Dear Dean, Thank you so much. I knew I kept those coats all these years for a reason. Sincerely J.T.


Hi, Dean
They arrived today! Both are fabulous but the muskrat is exceptional. I love them both! I shall look on your website regularly and keep in touch, I have no doubt I shall see something else!!!!!
All the best, — V.


Hi, Dean!
The bears arrived safely and are adorable! They look like a lovely elderly couple together! Thanks, again, for your work. I appreciate it very much. My mother will be celebrating her 75th birthday on December 7 so I think these will make a perfect gift.  Cheers, — C.B.


The bear is more than I imagined. Thank you for sharing your talents. — L.D.


Hiya, Dean
 My bears arrived today!!!! And I was gobsmacked! They are exceptional and much better than the ones I have bought here in Oz. The raccoon one is superb - what a face!!! Thrilled doesn't explain my reaction and they are so well made. I adore them. Can you make me a smaller one (12"?) in muskrat fur? I shall leave design up to you as you obviously know what you are doing!!! Again, you are a genius bear-maker.  Cheers, — V.


I just received my box of bears. They are wonderfully made. I like the different styles I selected. And the bears that have both of the furs I like even more than I thought I would. Thank you again for the beautiful bears you made me. I look at them every day, and they bring a smile to my face and my heart.  I cannot thank you enough. — B.


Our daughter received the box on Thursday, as you said she would, and opened her gift today, her birthday. She had no idea what it would be and said the bear is just “WONDERFUL!!”. She is going to send me a picture, and I will see it in person in November when we visit. I know she is very, very pleased. Thank you again for all your help and willingness to go the “extra mile” in getting it there by her birthday. It has been a pleasure doing business with you. — M.M.


They are OUTSTANDING! Truly adorable - each and every one! We love them all. I have to give three of them to others and I'm having a very difficult time deciding which three I am going to keep! Each one has such a wonderful "personality"! I think my favorite might be one of the little brown bears -- the one with the scarf and the collar! He (or she) really looks like he could be alive! I couldn't be more pleased with the wonderful work you did! If you ever need a recommendation, let me know! I will be passing your web site on to everyone! Thank you again! You did an amazing job!  — J.F.


Hi Dean, The bear arrived safely today, in good condition. In fact he has not reached his final destination yet, which is at our granddaughter in Copenhagen. But she is going to have him soon. We like him, and I'm sure she will like him too. I thought you would like to know why we would cause a 16" bear to travel half arround the earth. Thank you very much for all your help and efforts! Please bring our regards to your wife. I will keep you in mind in case we should get another - late arriving - grandchild. All the best — K.R.


Hi Dean, I got the Bears when you said I would and they are absolutely delightful and have already had someone ask me for your info Again,Thank You for your fine artistic creativity and workmanship. — G.


Dean: Just as you said, the bears arrived today!  I can't believe how individual they are & what different personalities each of them has. I called mom & told her that I would bring them over for her to see & to get a picture of her with them.  I'm working on a digital scrapbook for her 4 great-grandchildren for Christmas - I hope they love them as much as I do.  The book will tell how my father bought the coat for mom before he left for the service in 1943 "to keep her warm while he was gone".

The boy bear with the glasses fits my great-nephew H. perfectly - 'a little studious' The 2 girl bears with the scarves fit my nieces 2 daughters - S. & N. - ' prim & proper' Then of course the girl with the fur collar is for my granddaughter O. - 'silly but sweet' The bears fit perfectly with each child, it's unreal!!
And then what a surprise to see the antique rhinestone buttons on the girls!

It must be very rewarding to do what you love & make so many people happy.  Thank you for helping me make such a special keepsakes. — L.T.
