After a very instructive and successful 2007, BrightBears.com has become known as the web site for miniature collectible teddy bears, handmade by Dutch artist Tessa Altenburg. Last year, over 40 of my one-of-a-kind mini bears were adopted by kind collectors all over the world. Others still live happily in my home in Emmeloord, a small city in the Netherlands (Western Europe).

Since we started offering our Bright Bears for adoption through this web site and eBay, a lot of requests for even more pictures and more detailed information came in. We did a complete redesign of our site, and now you can look at 5 high quality pictures plus an even bigger wallpaper picture (free to download) of every bear we have listed online (and more are coming every week).

Spring is such a wonderful time of year, and Nibbles is the perfect bear to enjoy now:

A word of warning: my bears are crafted as adult collectibles, and are not intended or safe for children. Don't let them play with Bright Bears, but use my creations to enrich your collection instead.
