Ok but in my defense how could I possibly be expected to leave him there when was waiting so politely

Did I need to spend $33 on this dog stuffie? No. But when I tell you I NEEDED HIM…well, I’m sure you guys can understand 🤣

My (hopefully) somewhat stealthy ESSA!

I love big colorful plushies more than anything, but for me personally the thought of drawing attention to myself in public would just outweigh any comfort from my plushie friend. So I present to you, Quincy! She’s pretty small (8”) and I made her gear black and gray to keep it less obvious…though I couldn’t resist adding in small rainbow details 😂

Now I just need to find a little messenger bag or something she can ride in—I’d love suggestions if anyone has any!

Work was awful yesterday, so this morning Bearnaby came along for the commute :’)

He doesn’t come into work with me, but getting him dressed while I was getting ready for work actually helped a lot! I suppose it’s just nice to feel a little less alone going into a hard day. I’m 33 lmao.

My first attempt at ESSA gear :)

Valentino has gotten a promotion! He’s too precious for me to want to bring around in public, plus he’s awfully conspicuous. For me personally, if I feel like I may be drawing attention to myself, that would outweigh any emotional support from my stuffy. :(
I’m thinking of getting a smaller friend to go out and about with though! Making even smaller miniature gear would be cute too!

Latest thrift find!

  1. Such a cool bear but holy moly he needs a nose job LOL
  2. The people at savers probably recognize me at this point, the weird adult who spends forever going through all the plushies 🤦🏻

Koala rescue ready for new home

No cost for this girl—just shipping.

I just love rehabbing these thrifted babies but then I have nowhere to put them…and this girlie is used to being very loved, she deserves to not be in a storage bin I think.

She has been washed and re-stuffed with fresh stuffing, and has brand new eyes and a freshly flocked nose! Her white floppy fur definitely got frizzed somewhere down the line (likely heat damage from a dryer) but it floofs up with a quick brush. She will come with her original outfit. She’s very petite and the modern BAB clothes are quite big on her!

Again, no cost for her aside from shipping.

If all else fails she will go back to the thrift roulette to hopefully find love again, but I figured I’d try here first!

Gentle Grey Bear rehome :)

My little thrift rescue is ready for his new home!! This fellow has been hand-washed, stuffed with fresh stuffing, and groomed around his face and snoot so you can see his eyes and smile.
I’m looking for $50 plus shipping—I can ship him stuffed or unstuffed, Venmo or PayPal. 🩶

Fixed up that sad felt “online exclusive” heart

I could not believe how cheap and crinkly this guy’s felt heart was!! I didn’t want to take his original heart away, so I just stitched it to a real one ❤️

A gentle thrift find :)

Just needs a good wash and a trim around his eyes and snoot!

So torn on the pineapplotl! Folks who have one, what are your thoughts?

Unrelated but the $15 sale feels less like a deal and more like an opportunity to pay what a cheaply made modern BAB is actually worth… 😂

EDIT: I ordered one lol

A much deserved glow up for a VERY well-loved bear

I found this Kuddly Koala at savers and just couldn’t leave her there. It’s always touching to see such a well-loved toy, but it also occurred to me that whoever sorted these donations thought this little bear was worth saving, and that’s really what made me take her home.

Nothing fancy here—just a good wash, new eyes and fluffing with a slicker brush. I have the outfit she was wearing too, she can have it back once it’s washed lol.

I’ve been calling her “Kowally,” but she should really have a proper name. Any suggestions welcome!

I don’t normally go for the mini beans, but…

I’m OBSESSED with this thing. If they don’t make a full size version of the pineapple pig I will genuinely cry.
I like to keep the normal BAB birth certificates in a binder—how do you guys keep the mini beans tags?
Her name is Hamolulu, by the way!

Happy Hugs versions

I’m fairly certain the one on the left is Happy Hugs III (please correct me if I’m wrong!) but not sure the exact model of the one on the right—I assume he’s newer because his fur quality is much much worse lol. Just thought it was a cool side-by-side!

Toying with the idea of brightening up this bear’s nose. What do you guys think?

First pic is original, second pic is mockups of what I’m thinking! For anyone wondering this is a thrifted lil cocoa cub with a freshly trimmed snoot and smile :)
