Aww such a cute collection of bears Carmen! I am sorry you lost yours from your childhood. I can see why you open your home to view them . My favourite is the tea party bears, so cute. Happy new year to you, Terri xo.

Thanks so much Terri! My granddaughter loves setting up the little tea parties for the bears! I also have beds, carriages, tricycles, a stove, a bathtub, a washing machine and little chests of drawers for them. Like I said, I live in the museum of childhood. 🙂
Blessings for the New Year!

Carmen,they are adorable, SO many different ones and having tea parties, just super amazing. I studied the pictures and I just love them all. As you say you never grow out of teddy dears! They have sweet jumpers, trousers and dresses on and it reminds me of mine. Such a beautiful post. Hope you are having a great time with your daughter! We all look forward to Spring….. soon January! 🙂

So happy that you enjoyed this post as I thought you would, because you have a heart for bears too! I’ve added three more photos, let’s see if you can spot them. They are in the first Gallery (which are my bears). The second Gallery are Lorraine’s bears. I plan to do a special post of my Steiff bears as well as other Steiff toys sometime. Please scroll down and see Mecki and Micki.

PS. Be sure to bring Danny when you come! 🙂

Lovely post…me? I collect books, but alas, I must give some of them away! My bookshelves are full!

We used to have an extensive book collection but had to start donating them to make room for the bears. We still have a few books. What kind of books do your read, and I’m sure, The Holy Bible is your favourite! 🙂

I read whatever I want to learn…then sometimes I want to read something to give my mind a rest and read historical fiction. My tastes are very eclectic, but yes, the Bible is my favorite!

The bears enjoy having company because they love all the attention they get. The only problem is, they get admired while I do all the work. Not one of them lends a paw to help me. Oh yes, I also collect clothes, but I’m not sure if I have more bears or clothes … ha ha!! I would love to see your mom’s owl collection.

It is only a small part of my collection, the bears seem to multiply, every spring there are more bears! Hmmm … perfume bottles seems like a lovely collection. Do you still have them? I have a small collection of tiny perfume bottles. I’m not surprised that Natascha collects cats! 🙂

Glad you like them! These are only a few of my bears. I was in Giengen an der Brenz at the Steiff Museum and bought a few there to add to my Steiff collection (including Mecki and Micki, my beloved hedgehogs). What an amazing story, Margarete Steiff was a remarkable women with a unique company (I’m sure you know).

Das klingt bezaubernd, liebe Carmen. Ich kenne die Ostalbgegend, habe mal einige Jahre in Heidenheim an der Brenz gelebt und bin dort in die Mittelstufe des Gymnasiums gegangen…
Hab eine schöne Zeit zwischen den Jahren! 🌟🌟🌟

I know your fondness for teddy bears and I understand it, because they are adorable, tender, soft and beautiful elements, characteristics that can also be applied to your personality. You collect them or are they the ones who want to be with you, because they know that in no other house will they have a more adorable companion?
