@mousiegirl

I love this bear!!!  Check out those eyes and that fur.

 

I love teddy bears and have collected them for many years.  Bears are part of my decor in every room of my home.  I even have my DH's teddy bear from when he was 3 years old and had his tonsils removed; it's now considered an antique.  Smiley Happy  LOL

 

Some of my brands include House of Nisbet, Steiff, Vermont as well as lots of hand made jointed bears from craft shows over the years.  I think 95% of my bears are jointed and some are growlers.

 

All together I probably have nearly 100 bears.  I hate to think of selling any of them and know I would never get nearly what I paid for them originally.  Such is the case with many collectibles.  Smiley Sad

 

I guess you just learned something new about me and my passion for teddy bears.  I no longer collect them but still receive a bear as a gift on occasion.

@AnikaBrodie  I have a large collection of Steiff and Boyd's bears, and they are all over also, but I also have other stuffed critters, couldn't stop at just bears, lol.

 

 I have a tall stuffed giraffe that DD gae me one Christmas, and I can just see her and DH carrying that large critter through the mall and to the car, quite a trip. Smiley Happy
