In 1990 I had this idea! I had no grandbabies and wanted to shop for baby clothes. So I found this bear in the Tender Heart catalog which was just about 1 year old size. Now I could go shopping! I bought new outfits and accessories for each bear (35)! I thought they would make great baby shower gifts! Then, another idea....what about those favorite outfits of your own or others special baby outfits we saved in a box...now, we had someone to wear the clothes again! How about a 3 or 4 year old who could dress the bear in their old clothes. Or big sister or brother who could dress their own baby! Anyway, it was fun and I sold them all! Some went to new mothers and some went to grandchildren of buyers.

What a cute idea! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Peggy, I've dressed bears, too, in the past and actually have a bear in my guest room dressed in an outgrown dirndl we bought in Germany in 1990 for our granddaughter. My dh was appalled. He said, "you are putting a $100 dress on a bear?" No one was able to wear it and I think it looks adorable. (The dollar was not really good at the time we bought this, as you can see.)
