Friends forever
Welcome to my website Let’s Talk Teddy Bears. For teddy bears do talk – in their own inimitable way – just as we talk to them. They give unconditional love and acceptance and ask only for loving care in return. It seems as though the teddy bear is destined for a long life since he is already over 100 years old—100+ years of bringing joy and comfort to children old and young—and shows no sign of slowing down. May the teddy bear live long and prosper!
Join me as we explore the wonderful world of teddy bears together: their history, manufacturers such as Steiff, Mitchtom’s Ideal Toy Company, Merrythought and Deans Bears, famous teddy bears such as Paddington and Winnie-the-Pooh, collecting teddy bears, and repairing well-worn bears. And don’t forget their use as comforters-in-chief with kids traumatized by illness or disaster.
I invite you to leave comments, questions, or future topics you want to share. I’ll definitely read them and perhaps you’ll see your topic in a future visit. This site is a work in process, with more pages and information being added on a regular basis. Be sure and visit Beginnings to see how teddy bears came into being, and About Casa de Bear to see how this journey all started. So stay awhile, enjoy, and then come back soon! I look forward to continuing our conversation.
