Backyard Bear‘s creator is Mary Ann, and Mary Ann is a Muskokan local and also a team mate (OhCanadaTeam and Team Muskoka) on etsy. This lady comes from Bracebridge, Ont.
Mary Ann works with reclaimed and recycled items. Almost all items that she sells are made with reclaimed materials to be a green as possible. Reuse, Recycle, Renew is her motto.Mary Ann finds other items during her walks and in second hand stores (a favourite place of mine.)
Mary Ann is also a painter of wildlife. You can find out more about Mary Ann and the Backyard Bear at thebackyardbear.com

She calls herself the Queen of Recycling and her designs are just amazing. She says ” I am one Crazy little Clothing Designer.. with a very Bohemian Flare.” and her designs for kids and adults are definitely worth a look.
