Budd Bears Boutique - Client Comments

"I picked Barney up yesterday - he's great!!! You are very gifted. Thank you also
for enclosing the left over materials - that was so thoughtful. Mom thought he was
very special too. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much for doing such a
terrific job and for creating something so special that will be with our family for years to come."
Polly, Maine, USA

" Another order beautifully filled. John’s mother’s mink coat hung in a cupboard for years
and but for your help would probably still be there. Now, transformed into three beautiful bears
for my daughters, and myself it has new life as a lasting memory of a lady who loved all children greatly and was in turn greatly loved. You can be justly proud of the fine work you do and
in this case the family heirlooms that you have undoubtedly created. Thank you from all of us."
Lynda, Victoria, B.C.,Canada

"Our Granddaughters simply adore their Bears.....wonderful keepsakes."
Dorothy, Victoria, B.C.,Canada

" Thanks to you, we now have seven Teddy Bears a regular Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
They were made - four from my Mum’s Persian lamb coat and three from her mink stole
with great professionalism, attention to detail, and I suspect a lot of love.
They all now live happily with my two sisters, my two daughters, my niece and me.
Thank you for providing us with such wonderful memories."
Lynda, Victoria, B.C.,Canada

"The bears are wonderful and your emails were prompt, informative and enthusiastic. Leah is
thrilled with her bear - she loves Barret. My older daughter will be here at Christmas and she is
eager to see Babette and Basil and to choose which one she will keep. I just love them, their
wee faces are so expressive and they are so cuddly and soft! Thanks so much!
Jean, British Columbia, Canada.

"My sister, Lynda, ask me to email you regarding the bear you made for me. I am certainly very
pleased with the workmanship. Extremely well made and you did a wonderful job incorporating
the lining of the coat into the bears."
Penny

"Thank you for the beautiful bears. I was delighted you were able to make three from each coat.
My sister in White Rock and Montreal were very happy to receive their bears and the
significance of which coat the bears were made from (my mother and grandmother). It was
also a pleasure meeting you."
Barb, British Columbia, Canada.

"Pammy Bear has arrived and I could not be happier if I tried. She is absolutely perfect in every
way. I love the look, the quality of your work and the extra touches. When it comes to dealing
with purchases over the internet one never knows what the end result will be. I am so glad I
trusted my instinct and just had a good feeling you cared as much about how your bears turned
out as I did in giving my niece a wonderful and memorable gift."
Dana, California, USA

"I'm Thrilled with my bear you made out of my fur jacket. Your work is 100% perfect. Every one
that comes in loves the bear."

have made family really happy with a special gift for them."

"I am delighted with my original Budd Bear Buffy. The workmanship is excellent. Looking at
Buffy will always bring a smile and fond memories of my mother wearing her favourite mink
coat that Buffy was lovingly made for me in memory of Mom"
Sandy, British Columbia, Canada

"How do you put into words what you have achieved with my mink jacket, the jacket is now
"Belle" and is a part of my everyday life. The Hat is just as beautiful, and the cushions an
unexpected bonus from the jacket."
Alice, British Columbia, Canada

"Many thanks, they are beautifully done and I am very happy with them!"
Laurie, British Columbia, Canada

"You cannot image how overjoyed I am to see what you did with Mom's coat. Mom took great
care in choosing the fur, the lining & the design when she had her coat made. To see that you
also paid attention to all these details is such an honour to her memory. Jo-Ann must be a
furrier because Bear's coat has all the hair going in the natural direction of a live bear's coat & I
can't find any seams...she is amazing! And the head & limbs that move...Bear is absolutely
gorgeous. You have definitely captured the essence of Mom in this gentle bear. Thank you so
much for this fabulous gift. I will treasure it for always."
Louise, British Columbia, Canada

"Thank you for creating "The Twins Bradlie & Brandie" from my grandmother's mink wrap. The
fact that you were able to use the lining for the bows has completed the transformation of her
treasured mink into something I will cherish. The bears are so beautiful and exquisite. Again
thanks for preserving part of my family history."
Pat, British Columbia, Canada
