Dewie the Draft Stopper

   
   
 

Meet Dewie! Dewie's mission in life is to stop drafts from flowing under doors. Dewie sits on the floor, in front of a door, to block cold air from entering the warm parts of your house. He's especially great in front of guestrooms that aren't often heated. Dewie wears reversible silk pants with suspenders.

 
   
 


When he's lying down or hanging from a doorknob, Dewie measures 25" from to the top of his head to his toes. When he's doing the splits to guard doors from drafts, he measures 30" wide from toe to toe. Dewie got to fly off to Switzerland once he was adopted! What an adventurous soul. #0044

Rainier

   
   
 

Rainier, 10", was one of the first bears Stacey ever designed and created. This lanky, mohair bear has beautiful blue glass eyes, Pendelton wool jacket and blanket, a marshmellow on a roasting stick, a bellybutton and tail, and a glass-top box. Rainier #1 already has a home. The others may never be sold, as quality levels have improved since Rainier was created so they were never put up for auction. These old Rainier bears will be re-worked and sold after they have had some great changes and added quality. LE of 5. #0003, #0008, #0009, #0010, #0011

Matty is about 9 1/2" tall and features mohair fur, mismatched old shoe-button eyes, a silk nose, wool felt paws, and loose cotterpin joints. This bear is filled with a mixture of excelsior and polyfil for a medium-firmness hug. Matty lives in Alberta, Canada. #0068
