🎪 Boyds Bears & Friends "The Bearstone Collection" — Gussie...Life is a Balancing Act 🧸
Style #02001-41 — Private Issue F.O.B. Collector's Edition — ©2000 The Boyds Collection Ltd.
This charming hand-painted resin figurine depicts Gussie, a bear dressed in circus finery, delicately balancing on a tightrope stretched between two posts on a pebble-stone base — complete with a tiny "SKY DIVING" sign, a glittering pink heart, and her signature pink parasol held aloft for balance. 🌂❤️
Part of Boyds' 2001 Circus Extravaganza lineup, this piece captures the whimsy and craftsmanship the Bearstone Collection is known for — richly detailed fabric costuming, hand-painted features, and the brand's signature paw-print mark of authenticity. 🐾
