Is this the end for Cavey?!?!? But first... a little Valentines Day surprise!!!!

Just in time for the most romantic day of the year, Holly over at Hey Cavey! just announced a brand new plush release... "Love Bug" Cavey!!! Limited to 30 numbered pieces, each is handmade in the Hey Cavey! London studio from polkadot silky velour along with little handmade fluffy antennae. Each comes with a purple glitter Cavey sticker and a eco friendly cotton drawstring carry bag. Cavey is 10cm tall and will be up for grabs HERE at 8pm GMT on Monday, February 2nd for $25 a pop!

Now... for the important announcement from Holly:

All good things must come to an end. And it is with sadness that I let you know that I have only two last releases planned for Cavey; this Valentines release, and one more in March. Cavey has taken me on an amazing journey - he will be 6 years old this year, and more than 100 breeds, many birthday parties and some travels around the world later it's time for me to say goodbye to my little friend. 

Cavey is all me. I design every breed, sew, photograph, package, handle the social media and emails. I wanted to create a brand that focuses on quality, handmade plushes, and they are all made, by me, right here in my London workshop. As my life has taken a new direction and posed me new challenges, I feel that it is time for me to focus on my new career as a tattoo apprentice.

Running cavey takes a lot of time and this is a resource that is becoming more scarce for me. I wouldn't want to give Cavey any less than 100% so I feel it is time to bring the regular releases to an end. As we know Caveys love to hide but they rarely disappear forever. I'm sure you'll spy those little ears and smiles sometime in the future.

It's always sad to read news like this... but we are excited for Holly and her future as a tattoo artist! We know she will rock at whatever she does, and honestly, we wouldn't count her out of the designer toy game for good :-) It was a pleasure woking with her on our very own "Stroll" Cavey and she bought smiles to so many collectors faces all over the world! Best of luck in all that you do, Holly, and when you hit the BIG TIME, don't forget about all of us!
