Welcome to the Beginner's Corner Lounge!

Yes - I have glass and ceramic Teddy bears. Some are Swarovski and some aren’t. I have several Steiff bears but most of mine are smaller. I belong to the American Steiff club so I get a small bear each year. I try to keep any new bears on the smaller side. When we built our house I had a shelf built about 1 foot below the ceiling of my study and have most of my beanie baby bears and a few others on it.

I have some bear figurines and also some bear collectible plates. When your friends and family know you collect something it can go out of control!  Hehe 💖🐻🐼

I would love to see pics of some of your teddy bears! I do not believe that I have ever met someone who has more teddies than me. Maybe the former director "Brownie" of the Teddy Bear Museum in Naples had more but I have lost contact with him.

@Scooterpie - I'm currently out of the country for work so I can't show you pics of most of my bears but I can show you a picture of some of my very small bears I have in a display case on the wall.  I have two display cases and between the two of them I probably have around 130 bears.

Reflected in the mirrored back of the case is my paperback book collection.

This is one of those times that I need the 🤍 "love" reaction choice. 🙃

I am 63 years old and have been married for 46 years. Born in Orlando, Florida. I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers. Prior to retiring my husband and I  ran our own mechanical contracting business for 12 years. We installed boilers, chillers and piping systems. We built our house and have lived in it for 22 years. We live on 4+ acres in the woods yet Walmart and all conveniences are within 10 minutes travel time by car. Distance from the Atlantic Ocean 5 miles as the crow flies. Elsa, but course everyone knows who you are! I belong to the group Candy Crush Saga, Soda, Jelly and Friends Saga.

Excellent idea Elsa! I like it. I am a retired lady who is a native born Floridian. My city has sometimes been referred to as the "Shark-bite capital of the world". I collect teddy bears and am partial to growlers. I play CC daily. 

I love teddy bears too! They are unBEARably cute!

This is Peej and Jay protecting the balls. They are the guardians of the pool table here in "Abearica". Important job! 🙃

You can never have too many teddy bears @Elsa. Love the names for your two bears @Scooterpie. I definitely have not named all my bears. 

Glad you love teddy bears too @candycrushinit!😊🤗🥰🐨
