Meet the mother and daughter helping to preserve precious memories when they're most needed
A mother and daughter team are helping to preserve precious memories and bring comfort to people when they need it the most.
Helen Perry and Charlotte Jones make memory bears to remind people of a special person or moment in their lives.
Each keepsake is handmade using clothing belonging to lost loved ones or children’s outfits from their early years.
As well as bears, they also make memory cushions and blankets that can be cherished forever.
Since the business began in 2018, they have created more than 3,150 keepsakes for customers both in the UK and around the world.
It all started after Charlotte’s daughter Lily Grace was born and she was looking for an alternative to storing the outfits her baby had outgrown in the loft where they would rarely be looked at.
“Charlotte discovered the idea of keepsake bears and I made my first one for Lily Grace. I have always loved sewing and anything crafty,” says Helen.
