I suppose it all stemmed from having a
daughter rather than a son, but together we seem to have
collected a number of 'much-loved' teddy bears.
A quick browse round
the web shows that most other
teddy bear web sites focus on the more expensive
bears, many too precious to actually play with or cuddle
- which rather defeats the point. Hence this little
corner of the web dedicated to bears that are just right
for playing and cuddling.
Design plays a part here, too. Many teddy
bears are either too floppy, too hard (e.g. some of the
Steiff ones - [brief history]),
too large, too small, too ugly(!), too stiff to sit
down, etc. So have a browse through our gallery and see
the teddies that have found a home with us. All of our bears were either acquired
as presents or through family hand-me-downs or at car
boot/jumble sales. We just can't bear to see a bear
sitting alone and unwanted, especially if lovingly
crafted...!
When you've
finished browsing, please continue surfing using the
Ad-links (below), if you'd like to support our bear
habit, or use our Links page.
Thanks for visiting!
