New Five Inch Alpaca Design

About Pleasant Ridge

The Pleasant Ridge Collection is a world of little mohair and alpaca teddy bears and their friends - foxes, bunnies, hedgehogs, raccoons, cats and dogs, all designed and made by award winning artist Peggy Fleming. Peggy also specializes in needlefelted Santas and reindeer. Since this avocation is now secondary to her full time job, only a limited number of pieces is available each year. If you'd like to be on the mailing list for new pieces, please email us.
