Hi there,
If you ever had the pleasure of visiting the Naples Teddy Bear Museum while you were in Florida, then you know how fabulous it was.
A few years back the museum closed and now many of the bears have been listed on eBay.

It is sad to me to see the bears being auctioned as I had hoped someone would have bought the museum and kept it open.

I loved the Teddy Bear Museum in Naples. I took many classes there form other teddy bear artist. I was so sad it closed. I called repeatedly to see if I could buy some of the bears and they never called me back. Steve Shutt has the museum in Clarion. He tried too to get some of the bears. Maybe he knows about the e-bay auction to add to his museum.
I too have visited the Bear Museum in Naples and purchased a great tooth fairy bear that I love. I also loved the big bear statues out front and we have many pictures of them. Sad it had to close, that happened the year after I saw it I believe. I will check ebay.
Well they are trying to keep the bears in the USA. Though they will ship to Canada. But not to anywhere else in the world. I was going to put a bid on the Celia Baham Master 'Celery bear'.......
