New August Steiff Arrivals

I should apologize for not blogging about new merchandise that has come in since July.  There is a very good reason for it though. Keillor's A Teddy Bear Shoppe has gotten a new, state of the art point of sale machine.  However, for this register to work all of the current merchandise needs to be in the register.  If you've been in the store recently who can imagine the incredible under taking that requires.  I'm close to finishing the "inventory" and decided that I needed to get back to "blogging" about my newest arrivals.  The lapse of time here is to better serve you, my cherished customers.  So lets get talking about what I do best ---- teddy bears! ~~~ Linda
