Santa's List Polyset Set Contest

In November we had a contest for our team making Polyvore Sets that reflected the theme "On Santa's List." The winner was Isobel with this lovely set - "With Present Giving in Mind".

While telling you that Isobel won, we also want to tell you a little more about her and her shop on Etsy. You can visit Isobel's shop at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/COLDHAMCUDDLIES.
Here is some information Isobel has posted on Etsy about her products and services.

I have been making Cuddlies Keepsake Toys for most of my adult life. I started creating these wonderful vintage animals in the 1950's and have continued making them for family and friends ever since. In 2010, seeking some distraction from the fulltime caring duties needed by my late husband, I was introduced to Etsy by my crafty daughter, opened COLDHAMCUDDLIES in February of that year and have been having a great time ever since. In 2012, the Cuddlies became a full time business, as well as occupational therapy, after my husband died suddenly.

My COLDHAMCUDDLIES are mostly created using vintage patterns I have collected over the last 60 years. I do have modern patterns too. My toys are made using unusual faux fur and colourful plush fabrics. They are all stuffed with polyester fibre, meeting all international standards - and are made in a totally smoke-free environment. They are long-lasting, cuddly, safe for everyone. The oldest Cuddly still going is now over 45 years old!

COLDHAMCUDDLIES come in all forms:

Bears - Teddies, Pandas, Koalas, big and small.
Golf Club Head Covers.
Rabbits galore, dressed and small
Foxes and other Animal Plush Toys.
Hand/Glove Puppets, and
Novelty Plush Slippers for Children, Women and Men ( Small, Medium and Large for each).
Owls and Penguins feature.
There are Toy Nursery Mobiles on offer too - using our coterie of Small Toys.

As an integral part of the ColdhamCuddlies Shop, I also offer a full restorative treatment for elderly or damaged toys.

I can't leave off the hedgehogs! A special interest that Isobel has involves Hedgehogs.

Every COLDHAM CUDDLIES Hedgehog Toy sold, individually and as a family, results in 10% of the purchase price being shared between West Midlands Hedgehog Rescue and St. Tiggywinkles Hedgehog Hospital - in an effort to save the UK Hedgehog population from extinction.

Happy Holidays, Isobel, and congratulations!
