My Teddy Bear Shop is a specialty toys shop for lovely teddy bear collectors.

You may ask How do you know if a teddy bear is a collectible?

Very importantly, two things - it must be either a limited collection bear or a one-of-a-kind bear. Some collectible bears are manufactured, while others are made by artists.

	Face Eyes: Glass or boot button Nose: Stitched symmetrically Muzzle: Evenly stuffed Ears: Firmly attached
	Appearance Joints: Not too tight or loose Stitching: Evenly and closely Clothing: Good quality and well-fitted
	Body Fabrics: Made of mohair "This is the type of fur they've used since 1902, and it will last for more than a hundred years. Synthetic fur feels very artificial, while mohair feels nice and warm." Stuffing: Polyfibre-filled "Collectible bears are usually hard... not like toy bears, which are soft and spongy and eventually go flat." Paws: Leather, suede, wool felt, ultra-suede Claws: Stitched evenly
	Emotional Appeal "You must feel connected to the bear. It must inspire a feeling of love in you and capture your heart. You must feel as though you want to hold it and have it for the rest of your life."
