My Blue Nose Friends, Pout, Abbey, Glide and Crest.

I adore the Blue Nose Collection and I am delighted that my girls share my enthusiasm. Tatty Teddy has been a firm favourite in our household, featuring on pyjamas, books, key-rings as well as the actual teddy himself.

He has some of the cutest little friends joining him from September 2013 and they are every bit as gorgeous as Teddy is.

There are 4 new friends to collect, each different, but all snugly soft and adorable.

It’s difficult to choose a favourite, but being a fan of the Dinosaurs, I have to go for Crest.

This little Pterosaur is pink and grey with a few little blue specs on its nose. The signature ‘patch’ is in two places, and he is stuffed with those lovely little beads that give him the lovely squeezy feel which gives just as much satisfaction as a stress ball!

Glide was ‘stolen’ by my niece within an hour of arriving to the house. She is horse mad and fell for the cute little pink wings and expression glide possesses. Glide is a Pegasus who is always up for an adventure, and with the fluffy tail and mane, is just as soft and cuddly as the others.

For cat lovers, we have Abbey. This little blue cat will steal your heart as soon as you set eyes on her. She is perfectly bread and British through and through.

Last but not least, comes Pout the puffer-fish. This little fish is a round pink ball of adorable fluff. My other niece who is three years old had her pick of these friends and she chose Pout. He is just the right size to hold and squeeze! Soft and fluffy with the little blue nose, he makes the collection of four friends complete.
