Bear lust

I like about a bajillion different styles of teddy bears and have a variety of types in my small, selective collection. But I'm jonesing particularly hard of late for a piece by artist Tracy Lee of ThimbleBeary Originals.

Isn't this fuzzy critter, at left, just the silliest, sweetest, sloping-forehead-i-est little cutiekins you've ever seen in your life? I really expect him to open his wee mouth and say, "Awwwwwwww, shucks!" Just too, too, cute, and soooo original.

Tracy's work totally slays me, and I admit, I wants to gets me some now before she has twenty awards in her back pocket, thus forcing her pricing to $1K/bear. Cause, ya know, that's a bit out of my price range...
