Keepsakes and Memory Bears
Memory Bears by Wendy
Losing someone we love… it changes everything.
The world feels quieter, a little less vibrant.
We’re left with memories, precious fragments of a life shared.
But sometimes, those memories can feel distant, like whispers fading in the wind.
A memory bear, crafted from cherished clothing, becomes so much more than just a toy.
It’s a tangible embrace of the past, a way to hold onto the love that remains.
It might be made from a favorite sweater,
a well-worn shirt
a soft baby blanket,
or even pieces of a special occasion dress.
Each stitch holds a memory, each patch a story.
A keepsake is a way to keep the love alive.
It’s a way to honour the legacy of those we’ve lost, and to carry their spirit with us,
always.
It’s a tangible piece of their story, helping us to remember,
to heal,
and to cherish the love that will forever be a part of us.

I had 2 of these memory bears made by Wendy from my dear, late Mums clothes. It is such an emotional decision but Wendy was so considerate, sensitive and helpful when choosing details for the finished bears. My 2 little Grandsons now have beautiful bears to cherish in memory of their Great Grandma. I would not hesitate to purchase from Wendy in the future, her work is beautiful. I was also very impressed with the care taken in packaging, along with lovely personalised touches. 🙏❤️

My Mum had a memory bear and pillow made by Wendy in memory of my late father. They are absolutely beautiful and came as such a comfort when my Mum suddenly passed away. The bear , you can tell is made with love and compassion and is simply stunning. I really cannot recommend Wendy high enough and thank her so very much for everything 💜
