Vicki from 'Comfort Bears' has been coming into our Post Office for a couple of years now
I have seen many of her Bears and we all marvelled about how clever she was to make them from jeans but also make each one different
I came across an article in the Courier Mail about the story behind her 'Comfort Bears'
I was so surprised that I did not know the actual reason behind her making these Bears ... she has had much sadness in her life too
I contacted her via the Facebook Page and asked her if she would make a Bear for Our Family from a pair of Tanya’s jeans
She said she would be delighted ... and I took the jeans and a few other bits of Tanya’s things to her home

Yesterday she came in with Tanya’s Bear wrapped in a big bag tied with Ribbon from Fortnum and Mason ( from Tanya !! ... and you can see the Ribbon in the photos below )
I was so excited and thrilled with the Bear despite the terrible reason for it
Vicki said there was something else for me too and she gave me a Little Pyjama Top made from Tanya’s Nightie that I had given her to use if she needed it
I am so touched at how thoughtful she is and how much care she took to make our Bear so perfect
She is a special lady !!
