I saw these bears in a nursery a few years ago. I really wanted them, but it took a while to justify the money. I looked for them every time the Tuscano magazine came. They were a lot cheaper than at the nursery, but still more than I usually spend on decor. I finally got them when I asked my husband for them for my birthday. I am not disappointed, they are so cute...I even tied red ribbons around their necks for Christmas.
