Welcome to my store front shop at TheTeddyPatch.com. My name is Luralee Wheatley and I have been designing and creating teddy bears under the name Bear Necessities Originals since 1995. I specialize in original design, high-quality bears with captivating personalities. My bears are recognizable by their large feet; long, pose able arms and legs; and their unique, expressive faces. I use top-quality Schulte German Mohair for all my creations and each comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

My designs are either one-of-a-kind or very limited editions. They are especially sought after by collectors as I only create 20 to 25 each year.

My range is constantly expanding. To my bears, I have added bunnies, cats, and dogs. My newest dog and puppy designs have been extremely popular with collectors. My new Pet Profiles in Mohair line features meticulously detailed dogs and puppies often modeled from a customer photo. As with my original-design artist bears, these charming one-a-kind creations are completely handcrafted of top-quality Mohair.

Please take a few moments to visit my regular web site to see my entire line of fine collectibles.
