Ashleigh introduces Back to Basics

This is a Back to Basics bear. Michelle believes that he looks like a Gund bear. After doing some research she found out the Back to Basics offers two bears made by Steiff. During our trip to Toys R Us she found out the Gund makes bears for their Animal Alley line. Her current operating theory is that Gund used to make bears for Back to Basics, but now Steiff has the contract & Gund is working with Toys R Us.

Of even more importance is my new Valentines Day outfit! The dress is light pink & has white stripes on the skirt. It closes w/a heart button in the back that matches the heart button in the white flower on my new hat! I love hats, sigh...
