What a sweet gathering of friends and some of the warmest hearts that exist. I love the things John had to say and honestly I feel that way when I see people enjoying things! Thank you for sharing this special time!
What fun to virtually visit with Rachel, John, and Qais! Thank you everyone! Smiles, Stella
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes I agree. Rachael you are a great motivator I am very inspired when I listen to you. Thank you John and Qais for taking time to talk about their passion.💕
Our pleasure!
Hi Rachel. Loved watching Teddy Bear LUNCHEON. MY TWOFAVORITE THINGS DOLLS AND BEARS. Your love for dolls is so endearing. 👈♥️
Thank you 🤗 So glad you could join us!
I agree with you, I love seeing younger kids enjoy stuff. As a great aunt I spread doll culture, Madame Alexander, action figures . And I love being with Rachel and all you collector friends. yummy spread :D
So great to watch and to meet Qais!!!
Your teddy bear den is so cozy now! What a cute place for lunch!
I love watching these teddy bear videos, I am 20 years old and have collected bears my entire life but only recently have i started collecting antique bears and it was your video with John at Hillary Pauley's museum that got me interested 😁
I hope we see more of John Port in the future. I love his stories and would enjoy seeing his vintage linens collection. I don’t collect teddies but when I hear John describe his passion for them it makes me want one too!
John you are funny 😄Loved this visit 😄
I agree with John Paul and Qais, Rachel also inspires me!
Enjoy your meal and thank you xx.

Thank you so much for joining us!
You Folks are AWESOME!! “Grrrr!!” BEAR HUGGS ALL AROUND!! ;]
Thank you!
So completely charmed by each of you. Love to see more bears!
I'm so glad this is here - can't get into the FB group again, just like at Christmas. But i do so love the teddy bears and oooh, i collect textiles too. I'm saving for a Welsh quilt right now!
Oh John, my husband will be worried now...always buy what you like....I love all bears.......and you just gave me permission to add to the 100+ that have moved in over my 67 years on the planet.
My first solo bear teddy bears was a 4" tall 'Empire Made' (ie very cheap) golden plush. I was five years old and he cost one shilling, four week's pocket money and the first time I approached a shop keeper by myself. He is still with me, his excelsior showing through a slight seam split but still my cute Tiny. He's the proudest purchase of my life.
Rachel, I really enjoyed listening to John and Qais before you all had what looks like a yummy Lunch:)!! Like John Paul Port, I too LOVE quilts and I received one of my Boyfriend's Late Grandma's quilts:)!! My Boyfriend's Late Grandma LOVED singing stuffed animals of all kinds and she would display them as well as let us listen to them play:)!! I think my Boyfriend's Late Grandma lived to be 101 because she had a youthful spirit and LOVED collecting singing Teddy Bears as much as other stuffed animals:)!! I also agree with John that we should "always collect what you love":)!! My Boyfriend is fine with me collecting Teddy Bears and he knows how much I also LOVE my Dolls from my Childhood:)!! I LOVE antiques, but I can not afford them at this time. I LOVE to buy Toys and Teddy Bears from my Church Thrift Shop because they are fussy about what they take so there is no risk of bed bugs since the profits go to our Church Elementary School and I can find Teddy Bears for prices I can afford. However, I am praying that one day I will find a Steiff Teddy Bear at my Church Thrift Shop one day:)!!! As a Child, my Late Grandparents would give both my Brother and I a Toy Allowance in addition to that we got presents for Birthday and holiday presents:)!! So, as a Child, I had a Dollhouse with reproductions of antique furniture miniatures:)!! Sadly, when we moved many things got lost:(. However, I saved some of those miniatures, but my Kusan Dollhouse is gone. However, my Late Grandparents gave me a life long LOVE of nostalgia like Dolls, but Teddy Bears became a love as an Adult because my Brother got a Teddy Bear and I was never given a Teddy Bear. I guess I was more into Dolls back then, but now I LOVE Teddy Bears just as much as Dolls:)!! Thank you John, Qais, and Rachel for this fun video:)!! John Paul Port is also a good story teller in addition to a good Teddy Bear Teacher:)!!
Big hugs!!
I'm in my 30's and love bears. I love the history and I have some bears of my own. I am now sharing my love of collector bears with my children.
Loved this.
Thanks for watching!
I collect vintage children's books!
Number one John port fan here!!! Lol
SAME!! He is the best!
Wow Rachel thank you for putting this together how fun to learn more about John.Im a gay collector of dolls and bears started collecting in the 80s .I'm now in my 60s and wonder where and how to leave a collection to someone else?
You are so welcome, so glad you enjoyed this! For the future, make sure to make a will, and perhaps chat with a dealer ahead of time that can handle and sell the collection for you after your death. It just takes a bit of planning and it can be done. Make sure to communicate your wishes to your family. Hope that helps!
I’m really addicted to collecting Steiff I think I’m having a second child hood 😁
That is awesome, Joan!
I have a Home…Just Bursting at The Seams with Teddy Bears…One of My Favorite Teddy Bears is a 14” Golden Mohair Bear…I named him ‘Moose Pot Bear’ He’s Too CUTE!! I have a 36” Steiff White Teddy Bear that I named ‘TOPELO’. ELVIS PRESLEYS Birth Place. He is the King of Bears ‘TOPELO’. I thought was fitting. I also have a Powder Blue 25”. Steiff Grizzly Bear that I Named ‘Mr.Goesfourth’ after The Movie ‘BOOM’ with Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton…LIZ was Mrs. Goesfourth. I have 2 Chainsaw Bears in My Kitchen. Bears Carved with a Chainsaw. Momma Bear is Chappy & her Bear cub is Jasper. Their Pretty BIG…”Grrrr!!” I have a little Kola Bear made from real fur that I got from My LOVING Gamma when I was 7 yrs old…I still have him. I’ve LOVED Him for 52 yrs now…His name is Kwally. All the fur on one paw is worn away. That is because I slept with Kwally & I would rub Kwallys paw while I sucked my thumb to Sleep…SO Friggin CUTE ;] WE LOVE OUR BEARS!! GOD BLESS YA!!
Thank you for your fun comments and for watching!
