As a child I grew up with antiques. My parents not only collected but also opened a business in the small historic town of Cedarburg, Wisconsin where we resided. I learned the appreciation of fine things and enjoyed the collections that adorned our home. My room, at one point, was the focus of the antique doll and teddy bear collection. (What a lucky gal I was!) This is probably where it all originated.

A special section dedicated to old bears trying to find new homes.

In need of repair? I have years of experience with old bears in need of a new lift. Restoration is part of my business. I not only color match the repair but simulate the condition of the fabric to be as close to the original as possible. This avoids the look of a new patch on an old boo-boo.

This is my mid size horse or pony whichever you prefer. He measures in at about 5 ½ " to back and 7" to head. This one is made of mohair in black with white areas.

This is the smallest of my horses measuring in at 4" to back and 5 ½" to head. This one is made of 1920’s velvet in its original color and condition, a beautiful and bright old white. This tiny horse fits in well with the larger bears as a toy or stands alone in a collection of horses as well. The white of this velvet is magical enough that the horse could be part of a fairy tale. A snowy winter display would be ideal as well. I am now doing them in three sizes. $95.00 plus shipping
For many years I have been doing the replica doll bears and bunnies. I have had the urge to revive them once again. Although my doll bears are often made of antique mohair, this one is not. Her new German mohair has the color of vintage pink. Her head is antique and German along with her original wig. She wears an antique advertising piece for wool soap. It is wonderful and pictures small children on a bar of soap. Excelsior stuffed to simulate those of days gone by. Approximate height is 15" with ears adding more height. $295.00 plus insured shipping. SOLD
Locket is just an old fashioned bear with that hug me sort of appeal. Made of sparse mohair in a russet color with a taupe to gray background. Pads are made of matching antique wool. Color appears brighter in photo due to the bright sunshine. Eyes are old shoe button and nose aged floss. Slightly weighted to add slump-a-bility. Locket wears two antique keys. For display purposes Elle Russet Rose the small elephant is an ideal partner. Approximate height when standing is 15" $145.00 plus insured shipping.
