About Us:
The Rescued Bear was started over a decade ago by Judy McFerran and Yvonne Rench. Their early endeavors included hand crafts in a great variety, one of which was refurbished, and delicately "antiqued" teddy bears. They placed these "rescued" bears in vignettes which have stolen the hearts of many loyal collectors. Though bears are not their primary product at present, they can still be ordered.
From a "beary" sweet beginning, The Rescued Bear began to increase the scope of their handmade and purchased merchandise, always attempting to add items that will add "heart" and "ambience" to the home.
Candles, Primitive Decor, Signs, and Home Fragrance quickly became the core of the business.
Then in 2007 a fresh new product from Canadian Suppliers stole center stage..."The Tabletop Fireplace"! It has become the most unique and most often requested item at the Rescued Bear; so much so, that we decided to dedicate a web page to the "fireplaces" and their fuel.
