How a Fur Coat Became Twin Teddy Bears! How a Fur Coat Became Twin Teddy Bears!
 The 1971 fur coat |
 The 1999 twins: Raccoon Sam and Muskrat Susie |
 Recently, I found my 1971 fur coat in a steel file cabinet.
It was the first item purchased with my new Visa card at a store called Norman's
which was going out of business. The 7/8 size coat was muskrat with a raccoon collar and
trim around the bottom. I loved it, wore it every day I could, and I felt like
a queen. My doggie, Jacques, a bichon frise, loved it also. He would curl up on my
lap in my VW on cold nights on the road. I hurriedly stuffed the coat in a box and sent it to Mary Jo
Sichak who created the most incredible set of fur bear twins... one set for me and
one for herself. Mary Jo is a joy to work with and her.cfn memories, are very well made, and have such personalities. The way to go
with an old fur coat!Mary Jo's website can be found at http://www.mjbears.com/mjbio.cfm |
