I never had a teddy bear as a child but cherished the one my sister had. I decided to try to make teddy bears like the scruffy well loved old ones found at antique shows for my children . Who would have guessed that 20 years later I would still be making them.

Now its a family affair.

Tom and I are continually making bears and accessories that resemble turn of the century toys.

Kindra our older daughter, a graphic designer is always helping. and giving us new ideas

Jen our younger daughter has grown up "helping mom". We now laugh that she has now been making "creatures" for almost as long as I have. She has taken her designs in a fresh and whimsical direction. you can check out her innovative website at www.jmurphybears.com

Thanks to all of you who have followed Murphy Bears through the years. It is only through your support that we can continue to do what we love to do.
