Picture is of the Antique Steiff Reggie and The New Steiff Replica Reggie.

A customer came in and said she was taking 10 people to Africa and she asked me if I wanted to go.

I said YES!  I wanted to go to Africa since I read “Out of Africa” when I was 15.   So…I dressed a

Antique Steiff Bear in a Safari Suit and took him, to photograph in Africa for my greeting cards,

everywhere we went people wanted to hold the bear.  He made a lot of friends in Africa.

So when we got back, I decided I needed to tell everyone about it.

So….I created the created the book,”Safari My Trip to Africa” by Reginald Oliver Smythe.

Everything in the book really happened, but to make the book  more fun, it is written from the

prospective of the 100 year old teddy bear.
