As a child I grew up with antiques. My parents not only collected but also opened a business in the small historic town of Cedarburg, Wisconsin where we resided. I learned the appreciation of fine things and enjoyed the collections that adorned our home. My room, at one point, was the focus of the antique doll and teddy bear collection. (What a lucky gal I was!) This is probably where it all originated.

A special section dedicated to old bears trying to find new homes.

In need of repair? I have years of experience with old bears in need of a new lift. Restoration is part of my business. I not only color match the repair but simulate the condition of the fabric to be as close to the original as possible. This avoids the look of a new patch on an old boo-boo.

Learn more about me and what I do on my "About Laura" page.

Littlest penguin is so excited about the real live snowflakes he could not help but jump right in. This is my smallest penguin and hand colored throughout. Eyes are glass and feet and beak are felt. Measures approximately 3 ½" in height. $60.00 plus the cost of reasonable shipping.
Ellie Rusty Rose a bit bigger than my small elephant measuring in at about 5"in height. Ears and hat are made of vintage floral fabric. Shoe buttons in matching turquoise and peach blend well with the floral design. Slightly weighted. $80.00 plus the cost of reasonable shipping.
This is one of the smaller size bears just perfect for the stocking made from a man’s tie. The stocking is gray and red and the bear a pale gray. The two make a great combination. The bear is made entirely and can be removed from the stocking if you so choose. Bear measures approximately 3" in height. $70.00 plus the cost of reasonable shipping.
This is the smallest size horse so far measuring approximately 4" in height. The horse (or pony if you prefer) is made from 1920’s vintage velvet in it’s original color and condition. Mane and tail made of mohair. This is a true old gold color. Just a little guy with lots to say. Displays well with larger bears as he looks like a toy. Works well with my now smaller bear of about 3" as a rider. Collect one or an entire herd. More colors and sizes to come. $90.00 plus the cost of reasonable shipping.
Winter Whimsy. This whimsical design snowman holds a vintage spun cotton snowman jester stick. The larger head and big eyes (antique shoe button) give this guy his character. Posed in real snowflakes for the picture perfect time of year. Approximately 4" in height $80.00 plus the cost of reasonable shipping.
 
Another recent addition, the little black pony or you can call him horse, either will work. Currently I am making three sizes, this being the middle of the three at approximately 5" at it’s tallest point. Just the cutest to display with a ted on the back or just to stand alone. Display one or collect a herd. All different and more to come. $90.00 plus the cost of reasonable shipping.
Roly Poly Littles Halloween Bear. A festive sort of guy who is happy to roll around all year long. The body is made of vintage plush in orange and black. These vintage fabrics are customary of my work and I search high and low to get them. I also love to embellish with antique metallic lace such as that around his neck. The body is weighted, eyes glass, and nose slightly waxed. Approximate height 4 ½". $98.00 plus the cost of shipping.
Roly Poly Littles Elephant. Although the roly poly toy is one from long ago, this guy is made for the adult collector. Another novelty idea taken from my own collection. This is one of my roly poly littles. A small guy with lots of charm. I sure do enjoy the look of the elephants. They seem to be so warm and childlike. The more I make them the more I want to create other elephant ideas. The elephant measures approximately 4" in height and is very weighted. The neck ruff is antique printed cheesecloth cloth in red, white, blue. Note the aged bell on the belly and the tail on the backside. This guy displays well with teddies too. Another creation meant for the discriminative collector. Email for more views dsingers@ticon.net $105.00 plus the cost of shipping. SOLD
Vintage velvet Halloween cat head bag. The bag is made of 1920’s vintage velvet with the cat head of vintage plush. Eyes are hand painted glass. A notepad and magnet sporting a pumpkin and cat are tucked away inside. Cording drawstring pulls the bag closed if needed. The idea for this item came from an antique novelty I purchased for my own collection. The bag had a bear head and was probably a mother made item from about 1910. Although I have done the bear head idea I thought it was just as appropriate for a Halloween cat head. Total approximate height 5" width 3". $52.00 plus the cost of shipping.
