How this Madness all began!
Yes, I am an admitted
archtophilic. This habit has me in constant need to find ways
to satisfy my disease. It all began when my parents started collecting
Steiff and Teddy Bears while living in Munich, Germany. And so
the story goes...Beauty transcends time, and withstands it, lasting
for generations, to be shared again and again. Toys from a time
past are even more cherished today for their charm and detailed
workmanship. The skill and ingenuity that went into these art
forms have elevated them to the realm of Antiques and Collectibles..to
be admired and collected and written about, and now have become
serious investments for the collector. Teddy Bears for generations
have been a staple of American Childhood. They never talk back,
keep us warm, and never seem to be in a bad mood. Adults buy
Teddy Bears for a nostalgic trip back to childhoold, a reminder
of our friendly passifier, a link to once was, to keep us in
touch with our roots, warm our hearts, bring smiles to our faces,
help us unlock our souls, to make us relax, give us joy, and
sometimes if we are hard core addicts break the bank......
