Dear Tom:
My husband was looking at your products and started to laugh at Mr.
B's serious little face.
I could not get Mr. B out of my mind and made this little
illustration.
He looks like a great cat!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Siemering
Pawtucket, RI

to see the picture that inspired Rebecca. :-)
Rebecca also enclosed the following
poem to her illustration - both of which we
post with THANKS and with her permssion -
"“Hello! My name is Mr.B.
I’m a serious cat.
I’ve got mittens and know how to use them."
rsiemering, Yea BFFFER, and felixkh added this photo to their favorites.

I'll check with Rebecca but I'm pretty sure she would be thrilled! I would buy several of those as well, in any color combo Mr. B chooses. Fun!

I think that the drawing look quite nice on a rapidwinder either on the front off to one side or on the bottom like a maker's mark on a piece of china..

I am SO glad I have waited (OK, procrastinated) to buy some more softies.
Have wee or not-so-wee? Both?

I noticed the website says you'll be making softies from this in `09. Any hints on the color & when they'll be available at this point? I just happened to have purchased a new body that will be needing a release.

it will be Mr B tabby-yellow...our anodiser is testing the colour
so pls stay tuned.

just wondering how the Mr. B softies were coming along?
T&T and Mr B 45 months ago | reply
Hi!
Planning to have them ready this month.
100 Softies are ready to be anodized & engraved.
Our engraver Henley just opened his own business
and is getting all the bugs out so we are about
a month later than originally planned.

That's great news!! May I have two? :-D
T&T and Mr B 45 months ago | reply
Yes of course.Thanks! Have just marked your name on the Mr B list which is growing "rapidly". :-)

I wish to be on the exclusive list as well. I have a bad weak spot for animals in Victorian clothing.

Hi

OK. Thanks. Have added you too to Mr B list. Pls note that not the whole suit will be in the Softie.
It will look like this but on Tabby yellow

The tabby-yellow may match well with the yellow lettering on black lenses.

thanks for asking. It was a unique limited-editonSoftie. Equally as unique as Mr B (Barnack)
whom we miss every day.
