My Scrapbook's Gallery

​Visitors are invited to join me, known as the Bear Hollow Bearmaker, pulls from old files some photos I have taken of my bears out and about our property and in and out of our make-believe Bear Hollow Inn.  Enjoy the settings created to help me tell our Bear Hollow Story that is still being lived by us today.  Folks can see how the bears have been designed with unique looks, each having a personality of their own.  You will see how charming my Miss Hollyhock, an over-grown hare and Lil' Miss Hollyhock, a smaller version of Miss Hollyhock, entertain their guests during the winter months in the Bearmaker's house and how others play with the Bearmaker's collectibles.  

The make-believe Bear Hollow Inn is open for business.
