Hand Made Signed Vintage Teddy Bear by Teddy Bear Canyon Teach to Dance

Very good preowned condition stuffed teddy bear hand made by Teddy Bear Canyon artist Gretchen is beautiful! The bear holds a certificate of authenticity that says “Teach Me to Dance” and is signed by Gretchen. The bear is 24” tall. She has a stick attached to hold almost puppet-like. She is dressed in rose pink velvet slippers that are adorned with lace rosettes and pink satin ribbon. Her dress is peach colored with pink roses and green leaves and has puffy sleeves that are padded. The skirt of the dress is doubled and she has a double cheered lace petticoat underneath. She’s also wearing lace pantaloons that are adorned with little roses on either leg this adorable bear is holding, two tiny bears in one hand and one any other, and each is wearing a lace dress with little rose caps on their heads. She is wearing a darling floral headpiece with pink satin ribbons and little rose pink roses. Around her neck is a cotton lace collar. The bears legs are felt and there pale peachy cream color. This darling teddy bear has eyelashes on her big black eyes and an adorable black triangle nose. Her little tufted, ears and paws are perfection. This is truly a teddy bear collectors dream and also a darling gift for someone you may know. The only thing I found wrong with this bear is it may have a bit of a musty smell very mild as it probably came from another collectors home.the velvet on the bottom of the shoes is slightly worn.
