I am in absolute aww. I just received my 3 mini bears today. It took a little while bc I ordered in late November and the holidays obviously delayed it a bit. But it was so worth it. They are absolutely beautiful and better than I could have expected. They encapsulate everything she was and I will cherish it for all of my life. Thank you

The bears I asked Melissa from North of Normal to make arrived today. They are incredible and my daughters are going to love them, as do I. They are very well made. The fabric I sent was my recently deceased husband's favorite shirt. The shirt has been to Maine, Florida, our home state (Massachusetts), Connecticut, Hawaii, Amsterdam, Ireland, Northern Irelan, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Spain, Scotland, England, Wales, France and the Caribbean. And, to every medical facility where he received care during the past 5+ years. Thank you, Melissa for helping me keep the memories of his and my travels at hand. Folks, if you are thinking about ordering from North of Normal, do it!

Melissa was very responsive throughout the process. I wasn’t sure how they would turn out since I was using my dad’s ties but the bears exceeded my expectations. The bear made from the leftover material is an incredible keepsake. I know my family and my dad’s grandchildren will cherish them as much as I do. Thank you

My kids father (ex husband) passed away suddenly in January and these were the perfect momento to have made from a piece of his clothing. They were amazing quality and as described. I ordered 6 and they all look identical. Great customer service and communication through the whole process. Highly recommend!!
