Jennie Boylan is one of the best known and respected figures in the Perth bear making scene and has made an impact with her innovative store – The Teddy Tree. Opening its doors in 2001, the store has been a breath of fresh air in the bear making world and it isn’t hard to see why.

Recently relocated to the up and coming Mount Hawthorn precinct in Perth, The Teddy Tree is now conveniently located on public transport routes and within walking distance from some scrumptious cafes. Upon entering the store you are greeted with a newly designed layout that incorporates traditional bear making supplies of fur, fabrics and other such notions with the newly expanded gift lines range designed to suit all occasions. These two key areas in store leaves customers with never ending choices as to what project to embark upon or which gift to choose for a loved one. What ever your purpose is in store, there are plenty of friendly faces around to help with any difficult decisions and offer expert advice on all your bear making queries.

Owner Jennie is somewhat of a teddy expert having been creating bears and other creatures for the better part of 20 years. In this time Jennie has moved away from simply making traditional-style bears to utilising many new techniques. This includes her individual hand dyed mohair and using sculpting techniques to achieve highly individual creations.

The Teddy Tree offers a range of classes and workshops on a regular basis, the details for which can be found on the store website – www.teddytree.com.au. If you think it is about time you created an individualised cute and cuddly creature then do not delay your visit to The Teddy Tree a moment longer
