My name is Sue Southway, I'm 51 years young, and I live in Fordingbridge on the edge of some perfect Teddy habitat, The New Forest. I've always loved Teds and have a hug of about 100 (actually it may be more, I dare not count). I belong to the Deans collectors Club, but my collection covers far more than Dean's bears.

I've been making Bears for about 4 years, and have sold quite a few, but have recently decided to try to expand a bit, hence the web-site. I suppose it is a paying (I hope) hobby, because I work full time as a research entolmologist as well......I study insects! (Ugh, I hear you say!)
