Roger Murphy, CEO of Carte Blanche Greetings Ltd. in the UK, loved our coverage of their Me To You brand in our March/April issue so much, he sent me an adorable Tatty Teddy Bear! Isn’t it just the cutest, hippest little bear on the block? Tatty Teddy is headed to the U.S. in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks, Bryan Joiner, for writing such a great story about the humble beginnings of Tatty Teddy and the evolution of Me To You!
