Hello, I'm Sue VanNattan and I've been creating teddy bears for the past 20 years and absolutely love doing so!
I've been honored to win TOBY and Golden Teddy Awards over the years, including a Best In Show TOBY for my Long John Silver, a First Place in the 2014 URSA Awards and the 2015 Beverly Port Award for Artistic Excellence.
My husband and I have made the BEST friends in the teddy bear world over the years and it's my joy to bring pieces of mohair, felt and other accessories to "life." We're also involved as antique dealers, so I have wonderful opportunity to find treasures that spark an idea for a new teddy.
I'm a member of "Bears&Buds" the online teddy bear magazine, and I participate in many Bright Star Promotions Teddy Bear Shows around the country and the Quinlan's Doll and Bear Convention in Philadelphia.
If you would like to have one of my bears, but are unable to use Paypal, please contact me to make other arrangements. You can email me at [email protected] or call me at (217) 370-0461.
Enjoy the show!

"Penny and her Panda"
Best buddies!
This one-of-a-kind pair were made to be together!
14 1/2" Penny is made of fluffy whiteGerman mohair. She has scissor-sculpted
and air brushed features, glass eyes, wired armsfor posing, pink upholstery fabric paw pads
and is poly/bb filled. She wears a vintage corduroy coat and matching bonnet.
The coat bears the label, "Chatty Baby, 1962." I customized the bonnet with tailored "ear holes" so her pretty ears wouldn't be cramped!
Artist made,Baby Panda, also made of mohair, has pin dot, velveteen foot pads
and measures 5 1/2".
I wanted Penny to hold her baby the way children do; dangling from one arm, so panda
is held on invisibly with a snap. She can be undone at any time to be held on the lap.
ADOPTED, Thank you!
Price includes shipping to the U.S. International collectors, please contact me for a shipping invoice.
