The CenTEDDYal Collection ®

In 1999, we designed and developed the CenTEDDYal Collection ® — an original, new property that celebrates the 100th anniversary of the teddybear in 2002.

THEAdorables ®

In 1997, we designed and developed this collectible bear line for Papel Giftware, Inc. The First Edition sold out that year, to be followed by strong sales for four more years — Second Edition, Ornaments, Birthdays and Trinket Boxes. Noted as one of the year's best bear designs by Giftware News.

The Nutcatters Sweet ®

In the early 1990's, we designed and developed these collectible cat nutcrackers for Kurt S. Adler, Inc., "Santa's World."

Collectible Bell Ornaments
(mixed media)

Royal Doulton created a Studio Arts Division to celebrate American designs and designers. These "Santas of the World" bells were designed as the first product in this new enterprise, and sold well for one year in limited release, before the Studio Arts Division was closed.

A Christmas Carol
In the Deep Woods

This imaginative "animals" interpretation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol was designed as a collectible ornament series with storyline tags for Papel Giftware, Inc. Noted as one of the year's best ornament designs by Giftware Magazine.

All of these items continue to sell in the secondary market (such as ebay) and collectors often contact us looking for a special piece to complete their collections.
