| Yesterday's World help local boy in his bid for some home comfort Local boy Edward Brunger was given little chance of survival after being born eleven weeks premature in 1995. Having developed pneumonia and septicaemia, Edward now suffers from cerebral palsy, but still manages to enjoy a full life. However, Edward has to sit in his wheelchair all day long, and would love to play his computer and watch TV in the evenings like anyother little boy, but needs a specially adapted armchair, that 's not available on the NHS. Yesterday's World has joined the local support and is auctioning a Brittania Beanie Baby signed by Tony Blair, to help to raise the £1500 needed for the chair. If you would like to place a bid e-mail us at [email protected] |

| Ty Warner commissions Brown Old Face exclusively for Yesterday's World The latest addition to the UK's first Beanie Baby museum exhibition comes from Oakbrook Illinois, home of the Beanie Empire. Whilst at a trade fair in February 2000, Annette Buckley (founder of Yesterday's World) bumped into Ty Warner who was delighted to hear about her collection and her exhibition "Beanies on Holiday". Ty asked her if there were any bears she was missing, and Brown Old Face was the first name to pop into Annette's head. Having completely forgotten about their chance meeting, Annette was enthralled when her mysterious parcel arrived containing Brown Old Face, sent by Ty himself. Her prized Beanie is now on display in the Beanie Exhibition. |
