Guten Morgen Vivianne,
Ihr Deutsch ist sehr, sehr gut.
Ich freue mich schon sehr auf den kleinen Elefanten von Ihnen. Er ist ein Weihnachtsgeschenk von meinem Mann.
Sie zaubern wirklich wunderschöne Geschöpfe. Und nun ist es mir gelungen, eins davon zu kaufen. Dankeschön.
Ich wünsche Ihnen und Ihrer Familie auch wunderschöne Weihnachtsfeiertage, Gesundheit und alles Gute für das Neue Jahr.
Liebe Grüße Gaby

Hi Vivianne,
Passhon is even more beautiful in person! Your work is so awesome! Definitely not your typical bear! Thank you for the reasonable shipping.
I look forward to working with you again. Happy Holidays.

Dear Vivianne,
The parcel with Roze and the felt ornaments have arrived in Luxembourg. What a lovely tiny Roze!! And love the ornaments!!!! Shai is really cute. I need to hurry up to get my Christmas tree now!!!!
I've seen your little Saiki. So funny and cute elephant! As always wonderful bears and animals! We had really great fun in London with Harrods, Hamleys ... and of course some museums. And we've been to Witney!! No need to say that I came back with some bears... ;-)) Have a nice evening. Beary hugs, Sandrine
Luxembourg
Vivianne,
THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!!!! AND I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM BOTH! In fact, I am so totally mesmerized by them, I almost couldn't put them into the curio cabinet for their protection. Especially Elliott! He is just so cuddly! I could hold him forever!!!
I have to tell you that unwrapping them was one of the most enjoyable things I have done in a long, long time! I was alone, which is how I like to be when I get a new bear, and I had plenty of time.... and I savored every moment of "discovering" them.
Vivianne, they are GORGEOUS! If I didn't know better, I would believe that they were cherished antiques from many years ago that had been carefully hidden away in someone's cedar chest as a treasure for a future generation. And I would be that lucky person of that future generation!
Oh, how special I feel as their new owner! What a treasure I have come to discover in "my attic!"
You have capture the soul of the teddy bear in Elliott's eyes.... I can feel him watch me as I wander around the room.... and I can hear Mr. Blue whispering to him every now and then, reassuring him and soothing him.... they are almost that alive....
I want you to know that I will treasure my new friends forever! They will stay with me as long as the Lord allows, and hopefully my family will treasure them long after I am gone! And, I hope that our friendship will continue now that I have gotten to know you, too, because I am in awe of someone who is so talented and obviously so sensitive, because only such a soul could have created such a beautiful pair of creatures as Elliott and Mr. Blue. Thank you.
(They arrived in an ice storm, can you believe it?
Thanks so much, again!
Big bear hugs from the 3 of us! (and little elephant hugs, too!)
Debbie, Elliott, and Mr. Blue

Dear Vivianne,
Just to let you know that Sourire & Dezaia have arrived safely. They make such a gorgeous pair and look wonderful displayed together. Thank you so much, Best wishes, Adrian.

Hi Vivianne,
I left feedback, but I think I forgot to email you personally. Millésime arrived safely and soundly, and is oh so sweet! I love the little trunk too, I have him sitting inside it here on my computer desk. I'm happy to have added one of your bears to my hug!
thanks so much! Pam
USA
Greetings! I have just discovered your lovely bears, and I am heartbroken that I didn't see Shea before! She is the most darling dusty pink mohair bear! I know your bears are one of a kind, but I would be so glad to know if you make one very much like her again, in pink, white or another light colour. Please let me know. Thank you! Grace

Vivianne,
I am so happy to have won Tossa. She is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to see her in person.
You are a wonderful artist and I only wish I could adopt more of your little bears! Thank you, Bonnie

Hi, i would like to adopt one of your kioko elephants. do you have one available? and if so could you send me the picture? thanks so much, they are soo adorable! Grace
Hi Vivianne,
I JUST LOVE your Bears and Friends!
I was wondering how one goes about adopting one of your bears from your website. Which ones are still available? And how much would a bear or 2 cost to travel to Philadelphia, USA? The 3 that seem to still be available are just too Precious! I am having a difficult time deciding which one(s) to adopt. But I figure I would ask which ones are still available first.
Oh, may I be placed on your mailing list. I have seen your previous creations and they are just Wonderful!
Thanks, Cecilia
USA
Dear Vivianne,
I have recently been introduced to your creations and purchased the gorgeous 'Yuralria' and 'Yarikoi' from Abracadabra bears, here in the UK. I hope you don't mind but I really felt that I needed to contact you and let you know how much I love your work. 'Yuralria' and 'Yarikoi' have totally won me over, you have a wonderful talent. I have been so captured by your bears that I was wondering if you would consider taking on a special commission for me? I would be grateful for your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks, Adrian

Hi! I'm soooo excited to be able to adopt one of your most beautiful bears! Thank you so much for offering this gorgeous bear!

Greetings from Canada!
I just wanted to let you know that Nazo has arrived safely at her new home in Toronto today. She is really an amazing little bear. You should be very proud of your work. I was very impressed by your attention to detail, even the tags, sack and packaging are works of art! Thank you again and all the best to you and your lovely family.
Regards,
Valerie

I love your work! I am just getting starting in Bears. After seeing your work maybe I should design something else.

Dear Vivanne,
I am fascinated by your Kioko Bears, in particular the style like Jueru and Yowai. I would like to ask you a few questions if I may. How often are your new bears available? Do you take requests for your bears? Are your bears ever available on any of the teddy bear web stores other than Abracadabra and Ebay?
I would appreciate any information you can give me.
Thank you,
Valerie

Dear Vivianne, I have seen a little dog on your website. He is so cute!!! Is it one of your new creation?? Kind regards, Sandrine

I must tell you that this little duo is precious beyond words! I am
so impressed. They have touched my heart.
My question is regarding your layaway plan. If I bid and win, and
the price is up there, just how does your layaway work?
Thanks, Debbie

Wonderful bear!!!! and the little blue elephant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vivianne you are the best!!! Have a nice day, Sandrine

Dear Vivianne, The three friends arrived today in Luxembourg. After one day at work, they are now home. Seems that Inakamono made everbody laugh during the trip. Omoi is discussing with my husband as he is the one who wanted to go for adoption of Omoi! Chocolate Bon Bunny is with the first bunny who arrived in Luxembourg. So he is not alone.
Your bags are really nice and was a good idea. I really love the red one!! the color and his smile!! Thanks a lot for your bears/bunnies, Sandrine
Luxembourg
Hi Vivianne, I have been reluctant to mail you out of fear that you might find me weird - but now I do it anyway! A week ago you had two new Kioko bears on Ebay. A pink one and one with kind of google eyes. You don't happen to have another google-eyed bear, which has not been adopted yet? Best wishes, Anne
Denmark
Hallo Vivianne, Vandaag is je pakje aangekomen hoor!!! Helemaal spannend om m uit te pakken en ik ben er onwijs blij mee!!!!! Wat ziet het er allemaal mooi uit!!!! Het zakje is al zo mooi en dan het beertje....,echt geweldig,nog mooier dan op de foto,ik ben echt helemaal gek op Shinrai!!!!!!!!! Nogmaals heel erg bedankt!!!!en natuurlijk zal ik je nog even positieve feedback geven op ebay! Heel veel groetjes, Esther
Netherlands
Dear Vivianne, I just discovered your little bears on eBay but was too late to bid!!! They are gorgeous and full of personality. I'm anxiously waiting to see what you offer next because I will definitely be bidding! If you wouldn't mind would you please tell me from what company you purchase your mohair? It's just what I have been looking for but haven't been able to locate. I'd very much appreciate any help! Again, your work is beautiful [as is your website] and I can't wait for the chance to adopt one of your sweeties! Your presentation is the best I've seen in a long time. Thanks very much for your time.
Sincerely, Louisa

Hi again,
I just found out that the little bear that I bought this morning is no. 1 out of 3. Now I wonder if the other little bear that was put on auction - the one I didn't win - also has a few brothers/ sisters?
Best wishes, Anne

Vivianne: I just wanted to let you know that Bareri-na found her way to my house a couple of days ago. She is wonderful -- I love her little dress. Thank you so much and I will keep watching for your new bears. I just love the anime style. Noreen

Dear Vivianne,
Thank you for your mail. I was out all night yesterday and did not see your bears on ebay untill this morning. If I had had the chance I would have bought both bears. They were so beautiful. Luckily I was fast enough to adopt Shiawase. I will let you know when she arrives.
A wonderful weekend to you and yours too
Best wishes, Anne

Dear Vivianne, The fabric bag is really a good idea! Your bears are always well packed. Is it a flower on the nose of this little blue Kioko??
Kind regards, Sandrine

Dear Vivianne,
My darling little "Kandi" bear is home. What can I say? She is adorable! I was so very impressed by the way you presented the little bear, the lovely tags and darling picture postcards. You are certainly a class act and a wonderful artist. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to "adopt" this little teddy. Know your little bear will be cherished and passed on through the ages.
Warmest regards, Diane

Hi Vivianne, I have been trying to buy one of your bears for awhile now. Are you making some new ones ? I would be interested in buying one they are so cute. By the time I get the E-Mail they are usually sold. I don't have E-Mail access where I live (out in the sticks) so I only have it at work. Ruth
USA
Thanks for the post cards!!
I have effectively seen that there will be an update the 3rd of July ............. Humm humm..... I'm checking regularly!! ;-)))))
At midnight??? London time? I ask because don't want to miss the bears. Last Saturday there was the summer bear-on-line show at midnight london time ................. I would propose 11.00 p.m. Luxembourg time, that's better, no?? Ok I'm joking. Hope to get one little Kioko bear. Have a nice evening, Sandrine

Hi Vivianne Just to let you know my gorgeous Lily arrived safe and sound today. She is stunning and has an adorable face. Thank you so much Vivianne for letting me have her. Hugs Karen
UK
Thank you Vivianne,
You clearly have quite a few fans of your charming little bears. I started bidding on the new one posted and got bumped right away. I particularly like the small ones that you just auctioned off on Ebay. I was wondering, can I get on a list to be notified as to when you post teddies? Also, do you ever do "Buy It Now"? If so I would jump right on a small teddy before your long time fans scoop them all up.
You have been so kind and generous. Thanks much for your time.
Kindest regards, Diane

Vivianne ,
Saschi is so lovely.I want to pick her up off the page and cuddle her.She looks like she has eyelashes or is it just the fur?

South Africa
Hi Vivienne
I am a south african bear artist who also sells my bears on ebay, I have
however fallen madly in love with each and every one of your bears and was
wondering if you have any available. I am always nervous to bid as I always
seem to be out bid.
we are returning to south africa in July so I really hope I can manage to
take one of your little treasures with me.
kind regards, Nicky
South Africa
The Gang is so great!! I just had to tell you I adopted an oldie named
Mine from someone on e-bay...so adorable :o)

Dearest Viv,
I recieved Niels today and I teared up. He is the most precious thing (other than my babies) I have ever seen! As a matter of fact he seems so fragile, I hesitated taking him out of his trunk! You have a wonderful gift and more people should be aware of your bears! I am the biggest 27 year old kid you will ever find, and there is more love in this home than Niels will know what to do with! Thank you again for sending him to me. You are special and if you ever come to the States, I would love to meet you in person.
Again thank you so very much! All my love from Erika
P.S. Please let me know when any other of your bears go on auction. xo :0)

Dear Vivianne, The little Kioko has arrived safely this morning in Luxembourg. He is so nice!! A great thanks for this tiny and wonderful bear and also for the postcards! Kind regards, Sandrine
Luxembourg
Hi Vivianne! Maurische has arrived!! He's absolutely adorable!! What a sweetie and I love his trunk too. He's made several new friends here so don't worry, he won't be lonely. He's sitting with them right this moment and they are more than happy to welcome a new member to the family, LOL! Thank you so much for allowing me to adopt him. He will be cherished. Dawn
USA
Cute elephant... just a thought: in the United States, it is considered good luck if the elephant's trunk is up (that way, the luck can't "run out"). Maybe next one could have trunk up... may get more bids. We tend to be supersticious! keep up the great bears and animals. I hope your baby is doing well! Felicia
USA
Dear Vivianne, I like your sweet elefant but how about a little cat ??? Kind regards, Régine
Ohh Vivianne, your new creations are just so sweet... I love the colors & precious faces!!! You are such a talented artist!! Good luck on your auctions.. Hugs & Bearie Smiles ;O) Robin
USA
I left feedback for Twirlin last night. Love this bear to pieces & the trunk is just wonderful too. I have never seen a bear with a trunk and love this alot. I wish I could say more but they only give you a short space to write on ebay. He is more beautiful than his pictures, just stunning. He shipped very fast to come so far. It took me 3 weeks to get a bear just from Canada which is much closer so that is very impressive and not a hair was out of place he was so well protected in his little trunk. I hope to be able to afford another of your bears soon one day. I am hooked! Hugs, Angela
USA
Hi Vivianne, I thought little puppy Eliva would come with Ginella too. Since the different time zone, so I couldn't stay in front of the computer to wait for the end of the auction. I feel a little bit disappointed for this, but it's fine because Ginella is lovely also. I love your bear very much, and I hope you will create more different style of them. I will keep eyes on your further creations. Have a wonderful day. Ping

Hi Vivianne They are here!!!! Both my little cuties arrived today - what fast delivery! They are absolutely gorgeous and have settled in nicely with all their friends. Thank you for letting me have them Vivianne - your a star! Hugs Karen
