Darby and Joan

An elderly married couple who live a placid, harmonious life together and are seldom seen apart!!!!!

Darby and Jones  are totally devoted to each other and have hardly had a day apart since they met, oh so many years ago!!!  Sadly they now need to leave their beloved home as they no longer can  manage. If you could find a home for them both they would be eternally grateful but they fully understand if you can only rehome one.

They are made from my favourite vintage velvet  which is over 100 years old and are approximately 4" tall and fully cotterpin jointed. They are weighted with steel shot in there body and I have left them slightly saggy looking. The rest of them are filled with kapok, used in the first bears made. Darby and Joan have ultra suede feet , black glass eyes and  each have an embroidered, waxed nose.

I have plucked, handpainted, waxed and added shading  and black stitching to each of them to give them a real vintage feel

They are for sale at £65 each (Joan is sold)
