It’s a good thing this little polar bear cub has such a big appetite – just look at the size of the fish he’s caught!

You don’t have to be a polar bear collector to appreciate this very special piece. It’s an all-new design that’s destined to become a contemporary classic. He’s sure to become one of your all-time favorites.

Big Is Good! Octobearfest Day 19 & 20

Two-For-One Special~~ Since I missed posting yesterday, we've got a BIG OctoBEARfest offering today to make up for it...

(OctoBEARfest =We're posting One Bear A Day for the month of October (at a special price) with a portion of your purchase price going to our fundraiser for Tours of Peace.)

Today's BIG item is:

Steiff Giraffe on Wheels!






The story: (courtesy of Steiff) In 1892, a very special success story rolled in - the Steiff animals on wheels. Thanks to the creative genius of Richard Steiff, the Steiff animals of stately size have been able to move on sturdy cast iron wheels - to bring pleasure to both young and young-at-heart Steiff fans as "active" pull along animals. The giraffe made of finest mohair on cast iron wheels also has great plans and standing a grand 55 centimetres (22 inches) tall, it wants to go above and beyond - day after day. Always ready for new adventures, it gazes out at the world with a curious and freindly expression in its large pupil-eyes and encourages its proud new owner to stroke its silky fur that is dyed in an intricate, lifelike giraffe pattern. The giraffe's incomparably realistic-looking overall impression is created thanks to a special airbrush technique with which the entire visual appearance and facial expression of this beautiful animal was handcrafted by an experienced artist. This animal is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, has the classic, geuine wood wool stuffing and proudly bears the gold-plated "Button in Ear". 22 inches. EAN:036026

Regularly priced at $795; Our special for OctoBEARfest, $695.

(And $50 of your purchase price will go to Tours of Peace.)

The Eighteenth! A Very Special Day Indeed :)

"OctoBEARfest" the 18th...

IS a special day... my birthday!

I plan to disconnect myself from technology all day. 

So, I hope y'all have an enjoyable October the 18th, which, in my humble opinion, really should be a Holiday...

BTW, I love ladybugs, (I used to drive a bright red VW beetle, which my grandkids nicknamed "Nana's ladybug", but unfortunately it got stepped on by a bigger bug. (i.e. truck... nobody got hurt, thankfully))

Anyway, that's why today's Octobearfest offering is this little beauty, a 2" Steiff mohair ladybug keyring.

Regular price, $37.50, Special for OctoBEARfest, $35. (And $5 of your purchase goes to Tours of Peace.)
