Please meet Taffy, a OOAK Artist Teddy bear by Robsbears

Please meet Taffy, a OOAK Artist Teddy bear by Robsbears!   She was made in England by the very talented Rob Humphreys.  Taffy stands 15 inches tall and is very light.   She has glass eyes and her fur is very soft.   She has pellets inside for good weighting.   She has all of her original tags.

I bought Taffy online from a seller in California, who apparently bought her directly from Robsbears a few months before.   She was a good deal, and I was very happy to buy her for my hug.   I loved her very orange color and her cute little nose.

Taffy was born in the south of England and lived near the ocean for most of her life.    She was always a serious Teddy bear and studied very diligently at school.   When other young bears were going to the beach to enjoy the sunshine or spending their pennies at the local leisure centre, she was pouring over her lessons and working out recipes in the kitchen.   Her parents were very concerned about her and tried to encourage her to go out more with her cub friends, but Taffy was on a mission.   She knew exactly what wanted, and that was to be a successful business bear, and to do that she had to learn how to run a business.

Taffy's first experience was running a lemonade stand, but she discovered it was only busy on the warmest of days.    Then she tried making jars of honey, but she didn't really like working with bees.   She drove a little ice cream truck for a little while, but she ended up eating more ice cream cornets than she sold.  Pizza wasn't exactly the most popular food.   She didn't have a clue how to make a pastie.   She tried her hand at baking, but all the flour flying around in the kitchen made her family look like polar bears.   She was close to giving up her dreams.  

    One summer day, Taffy found her passion.    She was sitting on a park bench and opened her little bagged lunch.   Inside her mother had packed an egg and cress sandwich and a milk chocolate bar.   The candy was very soft in its wrapper, but not quite melted, and Taffy was able to squeeze it in her hands.   Chocolate bars were yummy, she thought.  Chocolate bars, chocolate bars...chocolate bears!  That was it!  She rushed home and started investigating what she would need to make milk chocolate bears!   A week later, her friends and family were tasting her new confections and providing feedback.  The rest is history.    Her Milkobears have been sold to customers around the world, and thanks to her mom, she has her own successful business.
