The Stearns family keeps the teddy bear tradition alive deep in the Missouri Ozarks.
Since 1981 the Stearns Family of Stotts City, MO has handcrafted the finest in heirloom quality, one of a kind teddy bears. Stearnsy Bears are also well known for bears that Sally (Mama Bear) Stearns dressed in wonderful unique outfits working almost exclusively with antique and vintage clothing. Today Vicky Stearns carries on the that tradition. While they have sold 1000s of bears to 1000s of different collectors, for many of those they have no record. We actually would beg your help in this. The Stearns family asks if you have any pictures, information or stories that concern Stearnsy Bears or Jim and Sally, please get in touch with them. They would love to have or hear about the bears of their past. Call the Stearns at 417-285-3201 or email them stearnsj@mo-net.com. Website: http://www.stearnsybears.com/about.htm
