Many of the items are limited editions or one-of-a-kind creations by some of the world's leading doll and teddy bear artists. Visitors love the way the items are displayed in large glass-fronted cases, as well as the beautiful murals in the tea area where customers can enjoy a complimentary cup of tea or coffee.
