I met Elanor Andrews of Shantock Bears when she was just starting out as a bear artist, and am happy to say that I recognised her potential immediately! Since then she has gone on to win awards and continually delights collectors with her inventive and fun creations.

	Bon-Bon One of our favourite ever Shantock mice, Bon-Bon is – ahem, there’s no polite way to say this – decidedly on the tubby side but we think that only adds to his appeal. He’s clearly been tucking away too many of the bon-bons for which he is named! Reminiscent of Gus, the chubby mouse in Disney’s Cinderella, he measures approximately 4 inches high when sitting, has the sweetest face  and is exquisitely made.    SOLD
	Lucky Approx. 4 inches when seated, Lucky is a cute brown mouse wearing hand knitted dungarees and a matching cap. A one-of-a-kind, he is fully jointed, nicely weighted and has such an endearing expression on his little face.  And with a name like Lucky, he could be the perfect mascot for exams, interviews etc!   SOLD
	Rosie Patches Adorable, fully jointed one-of-a-kind mouse, measuring approx. 3.5 inches when sitting. Her soft pink ‘fur’ has several patches made from a pretty yellow cotton fabric printed with tiny pink flowers, and she is obviously a well-fed mousie because her tum is a little on the plump side! She is nicely weighted to give her a substantial feel when she sits in the palm of your hand.  SOLD
	Billy-Bob The jolliest little chap, Billy-Bob measures approximately 13 cms high (approx 5.2 inches) and stands unaided. A soft white mouse with pink paw pads and inner ears, he wears hand knitted dungarees with yellow star buttons. And the reason Billy-Bob is so happy? Look no further than his basket full of sweeties, lollipops and other confectionery treats! SOLD
	Raffles Dashing and debonair, that’s Raffles the mouse! Measuring 13cm standing and 9.5cm sitting (approx 5.2 and 3.6 inches), he’s a bit of a heavyweight for such a little fellow, thanks to his nicely rounded tum. His fur is a lovely rich brown which is given extra drama by the scarlet ribbon tied in an oversized bow at the back of his neck. There’s more than a touch of the buccaneer to Raffles and he’ll definitely want to be Top Mouse in any collection he joins! Price: SOLD
	Star This little girl mouse has the sweetest expression on her face! Measuring approx. 11.5 cms standing and 8.5cms sitting (4.6 and 3.4 inches), she is made from a silky-soft grey plush that contrasts beautifully with her pink pads and inner ears. Elanor has wisely given her just the simplest embellishment – a white ribbon tied around her chest and finished on her head with a star button. An adorable, delicate little mouse, we think Star is an absolute…..well, star! Price:SOLD
	Oliver One of Elanor’s bigger mice, Oliver measures appoximately 12 inches when standing. Dressed in knitted dungarees and made from long, silky mohair, Oliver is a great character. His ears are set low on his head and he is very heavy for his size. Price: SOLD
	Benjamin Benjamin, a one-of-one design, has been a very busy boy, getting all his Christmas shopping done nice and early. Before he went out he made sure he was dressed for cold weather, in knitted dungarees, a matching hat with pom-pom and smart white shoes. To make bringing the shopping home a bit easier, he’s pulling it along on his favourite red sledge. Benjamin measures approx. 6 inches high and is 5-way jointed. We think he would make the perfect Christmas present for a bear-loving shopaholic! Price: SOLD
	Twizzle the Mouse I’ve always had a soft spot for Elanor’s adorable mouse creations, and her latest is one of her best ever in my opinion. Twizzle, a one-of-one design, measures approx. 12 inches high and is made from a lovely shaggy white mohair with inner ears, pads and tail in a soft pink shade. He is 5-way jointed and likes to sit in order to show off his bent legs and the fabulous detailing on his foot pads. He is heavily weighted for a really pleasing feel, and his curly-whirly tail is a delight. To keep him warm in inclement weather, Twizzle wears knitted cap and scarf which are bright red with gold sparkly bits. He would love to find a good home in time for Christmas. Price: SOLD
