about me

Hi, My name is Gertie Keijdener.

I'm a WAHM, work at home mum.

I have 3 big smart kids, 2 boy's and one girl, al left home

We got 2 shelties called Izzy and Charly, 2 cat's Fleur and Saar.. lots koi, o, and a husband.

I have been making bears since 1995.

I was bitten by the bear bug after purchasing a kit from the local bear fair. I started to make my own bears and had great fun doing that.

Then I thought I try eBay. and.. voila the bears went all over the world.

I really love the contact with the bear mum's all over the world, therefore I would never say no to selling over Internet.

I hope you enjoy my whoezel's and the other family's...

Bear hugs and doggy kisses.... GERTIE.

Hoi, mag ik mij even voorstellen, mijn naam is Gertie Keijdener.

Ik ben moeder van 3 kids, allemaal uit huis.. getrouwd en baasje van onze shelties Izzy en Charly, 2 katten, onze pietjes en koi.

Het berenatelier en mijn webwinkel zijn mijn grote hobby / werk.

Ik maak beren al vanaf 1995, heb al paar keer op beurzen gestaan, maar vanaf dat ik op ebay ben gaan verkopen ben ik daar mee gestopt.( Ik durf geen autoweg te rijden)

Ik verkoop voornamelijk in Amerika, maar ook in Oekraine, Zweden, Japan, Duitsland en Belgie, Engeland, noem maar op.. laatste jaren steeds verder weg... Singapore, Zuid-Korea, Taiwan, Thailand etc...

Vind de contacten van over de hele wereld zo leuk, je houd er echt leuke berenvrienden aan over.

Ik hoop dat jullie mijn website leuk vinden... laat eens wat horen

groetjes Gertie en alle whoezel's.
