Adopt a Bear

Dear Husbola and I cannot resist old bears.
At a recent auction--20 little boys and girls came up in one lot.  That is like  whole kindergarten class.
We have been collecting bears for 25 years.  I think we got our first one in a shop in York  England.  He was wearing a jaunty little pair of trousers.  Our collection grew and grew--and if you are an overnight guest in our house--you may find a Sweet Little Thing smiling at you from a corner of the guest bedroom.
But this little group of twenty-all from the early 20th century--will find their way into new homes. Look at this Little Chap--complete with his vintage Red Cross pin.  They are all well loved--but in good condition considering their ages.  We will name them and get them ready for their new families.

  1. Your site is interesting and the teddies are really cute. Are you selling any on line or are they all going in your shop?
