Welcome to our world of bears and other friends. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Roy and I have been making bears in Auckland, New Zealand since 1991 and amazingly still get as much pleasure from it as we did when we started.

​

Sadly we haven't been able to exhibit at our usual International shows but we are VERY excited to be returning to Tokyo 30th September 2023 - our first international show in way too long!

Japan Teddy Bear with Friends Convention 
Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center, Hamamatsucho.

We really hope to see you there.  

​

Besides making bears, we also run a Bed & Breakfast. With no international guests since March 2020 we have been busy hosting fellow Kiwis who have made the most of staying with us here in lovely Mt Eden, Auckland. We have enjoyed seeing their faces when they see the bears on display as few would have known about them before arriving. Many bears have found now loving homes and we it has been wonderful to share them with our guests.

Please check us out at www.thegrangeauckland.com as we would love to see you!

​

The new website has been popular and it has been great to hear from so many of you. More photos of Heathers latest creations will appear over the next few months.

​

If you are in Auckland, you are always welcome to pop in to see us in our studio where we have a small showroom. Just give us a call first to make sure we are here and not away travelling with the bears. 

​

Beary regards,

Heather & Roy

Don't worry, the bears don't write too often and their spelling leaves a lot to be desired.

Thanks for submitting!
