I could not resist this last photo, my grand daugher Brisa dressed as YODA!  for Halloween.   She learned how to say

“Yoda”, it was her new favorite word, so there was no doubt who she was.

Aloha Indy!   We lost our dog Indy this morning.  He died peacefully in his sleep.  I was able to say goodby and tell him he was the best dog ever.  Whenever my sons were home, when they left they told Indy, “to watch over Mom”.  He always did.  For many years he was always with me in the store, he had many customers who loved him.  Indy lived a long happy life, he was loved by all.

My grand daughter Brisa comforts Indy.   We all knew his time was coming and said our goodbyes.  Happily he died at home and was buried in a field of wildflowers next to his Dad Max.

I LOVE this time of the year.  These are roses from my garden.  We have the store full of gardening supplies from England.   I am reminded of my wonderful trip to the Chelsea Flower Show in London.

If you don’t have our book about Clarence going to the Chelsea Flower Show, now is a good time to give one as a gift or buy one for yourself.

Many of the NEW 2011 STEIFF Animals and Bears are in STOCK.   I have put some on my online store.
