Here is a happy group of bears from the past.
You can be certain that every bit of a bear or critter that you adopt from Bears 'n Buds by Armella is a 100% creation of Armella's imagination. You should also know that every Armella teddy and critter you take into your home has been brought to life by Armella alone.
Please, have a look at the family of Bears 'n Buds I have created and birthed since 1994. Just go to the top of the page and click on Gallery I or Adopt Me to see a few pictures.
Then if you have any comments you would like to pass along to me, please go to my Send a Message page and let me know your thoughts. I am always interested in the viewpoint of another arctophile!!
Good luck in your bear and bud hunting . . . it is a great part of life!!! If you want to do some hunting in Vermont, Illinois, or Iowa, I highly recommend looking at my Links page to see some wonderful places where my Bears 'n Buds are living happily, while awaiting adoption.
