My Cherished Teddies

I am an avid Cherished Teddies Collector.  Love these little guys and girls.  I currently have about 400.

My children have no problems with Christmas, Mothers Day or birthdays.  They know what I want.  I have Teddies for everyone in my family.  My grandchildren love to come and look at them and try to find themselves. 

I love to share pics of my Teddies with other Teddie Lovers

The Cherished Teddies Collection began in 1992 with 16 Teddies being introduced.  They have grown into one of the largest Collectible Groups.  The teddies have gone from performers in the circus, acted out literary classics from Dickens Village, come from all over the world in Across The Seas, and even Fairy Tales.  And, when they need a rest, will sit back and recite the alphabet, in English and Greek.

Priscilla Hillman

Priscilla Hillman created the Cherished Teddies in 1991 after suffering from a serious back injury which confined her to her bed.  She and her sister Greta spent hours drawing as children. They spent time in their aunt and uncle's attic.  She has a wonderful imagination.  Afternoons spent in the garden would later become memories upon which she would draw inspiration. 

She spent time as part of the U.S. Oceanographic Service, later realizing that her true calling was in the world of Art. She has illustrated children's books, creating a series called Merry Mouse, and a book Tumpy Rumple, to date unpublished. 

She also created Priscilla's Mouse Tails, My Blushing Bunnies, Snow Folks, Down Calico Lane and Calico Kittens.
