I GOOGLED "Teddy Bear Collectors" and read this:
The largest collection of teddy bears is 20,367 items and was achieved by Istvánné Arnóczki (Hungary) in Harsány, Hungary, on 27 April 2019.
As a child, Arnóczki grew up in poverty and never owned a teddy bear. Her dream was to have one that she could cuddle at night. She bought her first ever teddy bear in 1978, when she was in her twenties, and never stopped buying more!
Her personal collection, now made up of items she has purchased and received as donations, is stored in the Teddy Museum her local village in Hungary.
So, although I could not possibly fit that many in one collage, I like to think this is what one wall of her living area might have looked like before she housed the collection.
Teddy-tastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteVery more-ish Angie. The A-Team of the collection, with a superstar in among them.
ReplyDeleteWith that many Teds it could be Panda-Monium (sorry...)
Of course Paddington had to be among the "sleuth".
DeleteFrom the web: Bears are primarily solitary creatures. Therefore, the fact that somebody decided they needed a term for the group of them is strange enough. The official term is sleuth, but a group of bears is also sometimes called a sloth.
