Biography of Effi
Petra and Poppet were so delighted when they discovered Effi now and then had performed as a circus clown. It seems they don`t recognize she might however be a little rusty as she`s getting nearer her 90th. birthday.
Anyway Charles and Konrad asked permission to let her move in at their shelf, which I obliged as there weren´t so much room anywhere else.
She`s a gorgeous little bear, so tiny and fragile and yet solid - as the years have spoken for. I am convinced she will enchant us all throughout the years to come.
