Hello, I am Sharon. I live in Lincolnshire with my husband and a mad Yorkshire Terrier! I worked part time with special needs children, which was really rewarding, but now I’m retired and am as busy as ever! I now work full time making teddy bears and miniature dolls houses, for some years now and have sold them world wide. All my bears are "one of a kind" and are made using the finest quality mohair, alpaca, luxurious faux fur and quality wool felt. They are collectors bears and are not suitable for children.The name of my business, Botany Bears, is a combination of two of my favourite pastimes, gardening and bears! I make one bear at a time. Once the head is made the personality seems to develop and the whole bear comes alive.I have named the bears after flowers and plants (they are botany bears after all!) Their names are individually handwritten on flower embellished plant labels, which are included with every bear. When they are adopted their new "parents" can always rename them. All I ask is they are given a loving home.Thank you for looking. Sharon Ashmole Now available, my little fantasy dolls, Wolly Dumplings, hand knitted and designed by me. Can be personalised, just contact me and leave your details.
