: Hello Karen,
:  
: Read your message on WCN about there not being any avid collectors anymore.
: I also read that you sold your 23 piece mini nativity set..can you help me out with some information on this set?
: I work for the Dutch CT magazine in Holland and found pictures of them, but not all, and don't have any numbers or info about them.
: Do you perhaps know more about these? Are they still out there? Do you perhaps have pictures?
:  
: Okay, startled you enough with my questions, hope you will mail me,
:  
: Regards,

: : : : I still collect, but being unemployed, I can't spend like I used to. On eBay, it's now a buyer's market. I recently purchased Daisy for $44, Chelsea for $11 and Charity for $6.50, all in mint condition. Used to be you'd never find these so cheap. I had sold my extra 23 piece Hamilton mini nativity set for $165, which was much less than I paid for it, just so I would have money to buy some more of my beloved CT's. I love Cherished Teddies deeply, but honestly wish they'd quit making them so I could save the money. I either have to try to sell things on eBay to get spending money or charge CT's on our credit card, which will be maxed out if I don't ease up. The CT's they are making are more adorable with every release and I just have to have them, so until the stop making them, this girl will remain heavily in debt!

: : : I have ordered some of the pieces that are coming out in June, still haven't gotten to order the members only pcs. I love the Halloween piece that coming out in August I will get that too.  Seems that there is no news from Cherished Teddies, nothing really to get excited about.  Even on E-Bay things have slowed down, I used to buy from certain dealers and now they have nothing on their sites. Has the time run its course for CT's? I hope not.

: : My feeling is that Enesco has destroyed the line. They have over produced and raised prices and neglected their loyal collectors. They seem to have no interest in Cherished Teddies at all. There is not one store that I can go to and buy them locally any more. I am so disgusted and have not purchased any new ones for a long time. I feel very foolish for wasting all the time and money on the large collection that I have.
