The bears are mostly 1920s Shuco miniatures (the smallest are 2 1/2 inches high, while the largest are 5 inches), along with a 1910 Steiff, and the dining room set is by the Star Novelty Company, also circa 1910. The party accessories include a couple of old German-made cakes, teeny spoons (for the ice cream, of course) and lots of itty bitty gifts.

Happy Birthday! How very thoughtful of those bears to bake cakes and buy you presents. I hope they leave you some cake.

My kind of party. My husband has a bear collection (nothing vintage, just fun stuff) and will arrange them in interesting vignettes around the house. A belated happy birthday. I'm spending the evening catching up with all your great finds.
