Birthday Party!

Today's my birthday, and some of my teddy bears decided to set up a little party with my newest doll furniture.
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.


 A close-up of the cakes. The two molded ones are very old
German pieces, 
while the frosted cake is a Dolly Dear product, circa 1940.

  4. 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.
