Relisting...New bears coming Sunday, April 28th!


Please meet Carmella, a beautiful OOAK Artist Teddy bear by Margie Michalski of Sweetie Bear in Waukesha, Wisconsin!  She has all her tags, and is signed by the artist on her tush tag.  She was crafted in 1990.  She is made of a curly light brown mohair that is in excellent condition.  She has black glass eyes and a cute black stitched nose and mouth.   Her paw pads are tan wool felt.  She wears a cream colored vintage cotton embroidered baby's jacket.  She is medium stuffed with beads in her tummy.  She is five-way jointed and in excellent, pristine condition.  Carmella is 15 inches tall and weighs a rather hefty 1 pound, 15 ounces for her size.  Could she be the one for you???  She is looking for a home where she can just relax, unwind and recharge!  :0)


Please note:   Upon payment, I ship the next business day.    Whenever possible, my items will now be sent out USPS Ground Advantage, which is much less expensive than Priority Mail, but slightly slower, by a day or two.   Occasionally I use my personal discounted FedEx account as well for larger, heavier items.  If you'd like me to send something Priority, please let me know. 
                
With regret, I am downsizing my teddy bear collection.   I have many different types, which I will be listing in the coming weeks (or months or maybe even years).   For the most part, I relist all the bears that don't get adopted the first time around on the last Saturday of the month.  I live in a smoke-free home, but I do have cats who are barred from the bear room and bunny room(!). 

Names, names, names:  If I'm listing an animal crafted by an artist, sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances (don't ask), I do not know his or her proper name.  I simply rename them using my own imagination (which is admittedly quite active).  This is not a slight to the talented artist who created them or meant to confuse the collector...just a way to give them a bit of personality and to have a little fun!   (Feel free to change their name and protect the innocent!)

A quick note about shipping:    Don't you hate it when you're overcharged by a seller on shipping????   A gazillion dollars to cross the pond or go across the country.  It's ridiculous.   I am striving to be accurate in my listing, but sometimes ebay's calculator is way off (especially for those outside the U.S.).   When i calculate shipping, I add in extra weight for the box.    If you're interested in an item outside the U.S., don't be scared by what the calculator is telling you.   Please contact me and I'll find out exactly what it would cost to post to your country and make a note in the listing.  I'll never overcharge you.   If I quote you a number and i can get it to you cheaper, I'll immediately refund the difference.   

Please note I am not an expert in teddy bears...I am only downsizing.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Please see pictures.  They are part of the description.  Additional pictures on request.

Payment is due within THREE days of auction end.   Combined shipping is always available.   I only charge actual shipping costs.   If it turns out the shipping estimator is wrong above $1, I will refund you the difference.

I am willing to ship internationally, but please ask if I post to your country and what it would cost BEFORE you bid, as it could be very expensive.  Ebay's calculator can be off either too high or too low!
