Is your Teddy Bear a bit tore up?
Maybe missing an eye? Got a rip in it? Maybe lost a limb or two?
Good news! There’s help available! Take Teddy, Honey, Cocoa, Snuggles, or whatever your bear’s name is to Ruth Hasman!
Ruth is a retired seamstress and has been running a “Teddy Bear Hospital” from her home for almost 20 years!
She can take care of just about everything, from missing eyes to wear-and-tear! She even hunts through thrift stores to try and match original fabrics.
A lot of these bears that she fixes are family heirlooms and has even taken care of one teddy bear that is 115 years old and been passed on through 5 generations!
