Posts: 108Oh what a great thread this is- I LOVE seeing pictures of other peoples hugs! 
I'm very new to teddy bear collecting- but a few little darling bears have found their way into my nest- their little sweet faces always make me smile!
In the first picture is my small hug of artist bears; Little Teto & Konatsu (by Kyo Nishihara), Dream bear (by Whendi's bears) and Monti (by V. Galli).
In the 2nd picture the little bears are chatting to my beloved old childhood bear! Little Teto is fearless as always and has climbed on top of the old bears head, pretending to be a hat!
Oh me too!!! I LOVE seeing other people's hugs 
It also gives me new ideas on how to display mine. I am very fortunate that I have some built in shelves in my tiny cozy apartment. I just LOVE it! Here is my recent display. I love changing it :)

Sophie Z'OursHi!
I have many Merrythought bear (over 30) and at least as many artist bears. Also I have got one Russ plush bear and now also one Steiff plush bear.
In addition, I have a couple of old bears.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Thanks for explaining that Ariane. I was getting a little bit confused as I have a 27cms Steiff known as 'The Artist's Bear' I bought off QVC a few years ago. He is very sweet, like a mini PB55. :D
Hehe, the Steiff teddy bear in your avatar is the same as mine:
:)
He came from Teddy Bears of Witney, in Oxfordshire. I liked him as soon as I saw him. :)
