I'm a university professor/scientist and remain delighted by artisan teddy bears. Collecting a few special ones for decades.

March I received my first Charlie Bear, which now sits next to the student chair in my office. For needed comfort:

Today, I received notice that there will be two shows of Charlie Bears on the Q on Wednesday. Ordered this little treasure. Love the mixed textures and whimsy:

For those wondering, these are high quality bears. The Charlie Bears group, from Great Britain, is international. Great backstory about the man and woman who started it. Charlie Bears clubs. Limited edition bears.

A teddy bear with the right face is affordable therapy.

   @1Professor  Cute bears!  I’ve always liked them and have Dennis Basso bears on each bed to match his throws. 

  I took a tour out West and stayed at a charming hotel in Durango. It was a huge house and each bedroom had a bear on the bed with a note attached. It said “I will be your bear tonight,  you can purchase me if you would like!”

   I think most people on that bus bought their bear.

Now, that is one fine looking bear!  Unfortunately, I think I am all beared out.  Besides, there are always some problems with a newbie bear in my house.  Like why is the new guy getting that chair that I always wanted?

I am almost 75, and I say no one will ever force me to give up my teddies.

Love that story!

I purchased a Dennis Basso teddy bear Christmas tree.

Utterly enchanting:

I am a retired college professor who also has been collecting a few choice bears a year for decades. I am almost 72 and love Charlie bears. I even purchased one for myself when I retired.  😀

You are my tribe.

I and a few bears will be watching the shows on Wednesday.

My first bear I fell in love with was Eugenia, a Boyds bear.She keeps me company on the couch.

And I agree, you can't have too many new ones, the first might get jealous!

My sister feels the same about her Halloween witches. Some have more status cause they were there first!

My mother loved teddy bears. Each time I see one, I think of her. They are great therapy for any age.

Took a peek at the new lineup of Charlie Bears, what does it mean secret collection?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
