Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Wow! You got some great stuff! I love a good sale

Here is another blue bear from my bear cave. His name is Harrod. He was created by Victoria Dickinson. He was made to look like a very loved fellow and came with a little hand carved bear and his travel pillow.

I can't forget my Mi Ren. He is a fabulous creation by Denise Purrington. The detail in this bear and his ensemble is stunning! I keep him in a glass cabinet. Thanks once again for letting me share some of my bears ~ Debbie 5

Here are more of my bear cave residents! I hope you all have a safe & happy weekend! Bear Blessings ~ Debbie 5 

The peachy smiling bear is Chubby Chuckles by OZ Matilda. The big guy in the naval uniform is Anderson by Booh Bears. He is the biggest, heaviest bear in my collection. The blue bear is BoBo by Kate Berlin and he is flanked by my first bear that started my love of teddies. His name is Little Tim and he was a hand-me-down from my brother. I have had Tim since I was 3 years old. I don't know who the maker is. Tim is in such wonderful condition, but for the lipstick I applied on him when I was but a tiny person 

Thank you Michelle! I am pretty fond of Zeke, too! Heidi created another like Zeke that is a beautiful blue! His name is Zack  Here is a pic of him from my Pinterest board called Artists Bears ~ Debbie 5

Love your dogs! You never know what you might find on eBay!

Might the bear you are looking for be Maurice Sendak's  LITTLE BEAR? There were a couple of those that came out in the late 90's. I think one of them said several phrases and one of those was "I need a Hug" and he said "Let's go play" and he also giggled. You might check eBay     Debbie 5

Awww, thanks Peter! That isn't all of them either....... I have another by the same artist that created Bronte, and more Steiners, a Karen Meer Bear, and several others. I will post more as I resize my pictures!  I love the bear world and am really enjoying sharing  ` Debbie 5

Thank you all so much for all the sweet comments! Here is a sweet girl by Oz Matilda. Her name is Victoria Rose. I purchased her on the secondary market and when I got her, she had moth riddled paw pads. I sent her to amazing bear artist Deb Beardsley Elertson and Deb worked her artistic magic on Rose's feet. What an amazing mani-pedi she gave my girl! Little Rose now has roses embroidered on her paw pads that match her pale pink colour beautifully   Thanks again for letting me share ~ Debbie 5
