Yetta Nother Bear and friend Eric Jon - Yetta (#1403, 1987) is the first bear designed by well known author and bear artist, Carol Lynn Rossel-Waugh. She is also the first bear I added to my 'doll' collection. Yetta is precious in her bright dress and holding flowers Eric Jon (#318, 1988) perhaps gave her. He is dressed in his favorite jacket and hat and has his trusty sling shot ready for target practice. Both bears were produced by The House of Nisbet of England.

Bonita Bunny was designed by Bonita Warrington, designer of Bonita Bears, and made exclusively for Applause in 1991. 'Jeffri' stands 12 inches tall from his feet to the top of his head, taller if his ears were up. His ears are bendable and his body is jointed. Jeffri wears a wooden disk tied around his neck with his number 1663 of 7500 and a certificate is also included. This is the First Edition Limited Collection. His paint brush is stained purple from painting Easter eggs which are nestled in the basket. This Bonita Bunny comes in a wooden box with the Bonita Bear logo.
