Ambrosia's Vintage and Antique Teddy Hospital

There are any number of vintage (dating from the 1950s for teddies) and antique (dating from the 1930s) teddies out there! Many are found in lofts, others have had amazing adventures, and others are being passed down the generations. Due to their age, many bears need to be repaired or restored, and Ambrosia particularly loves this sort of work! She can fix old joints, add growlers amd squeakers, add new pads and eyes, and will always do her very best to maintain the original character of the teddy. 

Please have a look at the wonderful vintage and antique bears which have already been treated by Ambrosia and her friends at the hospital. Ambrosia has had friends come to her from all over the world: Canada, France, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, America, Malta and New Zealand!

If you are thinking of sending a beloved teddy or animal to Ambrosia's hospital, please take a look at all of the creatures she and her helpers have managed to make feel an awful lot better! Ambrosia is willing to try to mend ANY well-loved teddy or toy, because there is always something that can be done. Should you want to help a toy you love, please bear these things in mind before you contact Ambrosia:

* the teddy or animal will probably need to stay with Ambrosia at the hospital for anything from a few days to a week or so. Consequently, if a child is unable to sleep without their toy for a night or so, Ambrosia will not be able to help. 

* Ambrosia is not a mechanic, so please be aware that she is unable to fit complicated mechanisms that may work eyes etc! She can fit new growlers in to teddies, however. Also, Ambrosia can only work with toys that have a material structure; anything with a solid shell is beyond her healing skills!

* the medicines that Ambrosia uses are very expensive, and the time it takes to make them work can take many hours. The minimum time taken will be two hours just to fix paws; larger injuries can take several hours and even days. Hence, Ambrosia starts her medicine prices at £25, and, when you post your teddy, you will be responsible for the cost of the travel here and then back to you again. 

* please note that Ambrosia is unable under any circumstances, due to ethical reasons, to work with real fur, leather, sheepskin, bone or any other slaughter by-products. If bears or toys requiring medical attention are wearing any such products, please ensure they are removed before sending them to Ambrosia; it makes her extremely upset if she is confronted by such things.

* if, for whatever reason, you decide that you do not want your bear or toy back following a repair, or the cost of the medicine is not forthcoming, Ambrosia will wait one month and then either put the bear or toy up for adoption on ebay, or take him or her to a charity shop so that they can stand a chance of finding a forever home.

Please be aware of these conditions before making contact or sending your friend to Ambrosia.

Treatments Available

When vintage and antique bears come to Ambrosia Place, there are usually certain requests that repeatedly crop up! Teddies frequently need new pads, or have lost their limbs; other need complete restorations.  New pads come in a variety of colours and materials, and Ambrosia will always do her best to match both where possible.

New Pads

This gorgeous teddy had been loved so much that his hands and feet had worn away from being stroked. Ambrosia gave him some new ones and added a few stitches to his nose as that had been kissed away, too!

Lost Limb and Eyes

It's always very sad when bears arrive in several bits, and very satisfying when they leave in one piece! Poor teddy had managed to lose a leg as well as an eye. Ambrosia put him back together and gave him a lovely wash. Doesn't he look handsome?

New Pads

This gorgeous Chiltern - one of Ambrosia's favourite bears as they have such beautiful faces - came along for a bit of attention. He needed some new pads and a lovely growly voice. He decided he might as well go for the external clean and brush, and felt rather dapper afterward and didn't stop growling with pleasure for ages. When new pads are added, Ambrosia ensures that the original claw patterns are correctly re-embroidered. Here, the typical Chiltern claws were re-done!

Full Restoration

This poor teddy was literally falling to pieces. He was full of holes and some of his material was completely gone so tyhat his inner stuffing was showing! He didn't feel very well in the slightest. Ambrosia and her friends worked and worked until teddy was all in one piece again!

Pads and Face

Poor teddy couldn't see or smell; he'd also been cuddled so much that his hand and foot pads had practically worn away. Ambrosia set to work immediately, and soon teddy was sporting some very smart pads indeed. She also gave him some beuatiful new glass eyes and made his nose all better. Teddy had also managed to lose his voice; Ambrosia ensured it was made all better again!

Wash and Restuff

Vintage Wendy Boston bears are frequently full of degraded foam which feels like sand, and is actually toxic! Ambrosia removes this, gives teddy a bubble bath and then fills them with fresh clouds. Teddy's lovely golden coat was also given a special brush.

Pads and Clean

Teddy came to Ambrosia Place in a bit of a state. His pads were all sore from having been stroked for many years; he had also lost his voice and was feeling a bit grubby. The bears covered him in bubbles and then brushed him until he laughed. He felt extremely handsome when he saw his sweet new self in the mirror afterwards.

Restoration

It must feel quite uncomfortable if your eyes are falling out! This lovely Chiltern teddy was treated to a full restoration: he needed new stuffing in his tummy as well as a new voice. His eyes were secured, and he was treated to some lovely smart pads. He felt so much ahappier afterwards and wouldn't stop growling with pleasure!

Wash and Restuff

And another Wendy Boston teddy decides to have the wash and cloud-fill! The foam stuffing always makes them feel very uncomfortable as it starts to degrade and feels like sand. Ambrosia managed to remove all of it and teddy's new filling was as soft as anything!

Head and Pads

Poor teddy had quite literally lost his head! He was really large and was having trouble carrying his head around as it was so heavy. Ambrosia re-jointed it  and he heaved a huge sigh of relief. Then she gave him lovely new pads; the external clean and brush made everything feel perfect, and teddy went back home feeling incrtedibly happy.

Dog Attack

Teddy was actually going to be a guest at a wedding, but there was no way he could go after he was savaged by an enthusiastic dog. Ambrosia rushed to his aid! She literally had to put poor teddy back together. She was horrified to discover that some parts were actually missing and had been eaten by the naughty dog. A new arm and leg were just the startof teddy's transformation. 

Restoration

Ambrosia loves it when her famous  friends come for a spell. After a really thorough bubble-bath (Paddington insisted on going through several times!) and a brush, his coat came up just like new. His lost eye was replaced, and he was given some beautiful new clothes. Paddington certainly looked fabulous after his stay at Ambrosia Place!

Full Re-covering

Willie the poodle was also expected at a wedding. He was falling to pieces and it was decided that he needed to be stuffed and covered completely in lovely soft cuddle fleece! Ambrosia had to stitch him up first to stop his insides from falling out, and then she set to work. Willie had never felt so soft and cuddly in his life afterwards and was actually guest of homour at the wedding!

Clean and Hooves

It's not just bears that come to stay! The bears were delighted when this lovely donkey felt really grubby and his poor hooves were sore. Ambrosia covered him in bubbles until his coat was all clean and then she made his feet feel all sweet once more.

Arms

Bears always seem to be losing their limbs! This bear had managed to lose one arm completely and the other had fallen off. His owner said he'd been like this for many years. Ambrosia re-jointed the one and made another!

Restoration

Teddy needed to be made completely safe for a little baby; he was also in need of general help.His facial features had been worn away, he was rather grubby and his joiunts were all crooked. Ambrosia completely rejointed him and re-embroided his facial features.

Paddington thought the bubble bath and brush was really fun; he was even more surprised when his feet were made better as if by magic. And then Ambrosia kitted him out with a whole new outfit including wellies and label. He felt so happy he ate an entire plate of marmalade sandwiches!

Facial Repair

Poor teddy's owner had done the usual: tried to remedy a problem herself and made a right old mess of it! Teddy's face has been filled with glue and there was now way it was coming off. Ambrosia did the only thing possible in such a situation, and made teddy a completely new muzzle. She finished it off by re-embroidering a sweet nose and mouth.

Restoration

And yet another Chiltern came to stay at Ambrosia Place for the usual spa treatment. Teddy's nose had been kissed off, his tummy was feeling flat and his voice was gobe; he'd also managed to make a mess of his paws and claws. Ambrosia and her friends set to work immediately. Teddy soon had a sweet new nose, voice and padding in his tummy. Ambrosia very carefully stitched on new pads, and re-embroidered hs claws in the typical Chiltern pattern.

Restoration

Every now and then, a real piece of treasured teddy history turns up. This bear, Lord Teddington, was, Ambrosia believed, one of the very first bears mad ein England: his lead-weighted squeaker and other characteristics placed him around 1912! He'd lost an arm, and his pads had been covered by his owner, but he wanted lovely fresh ones to celebrate his age. Ambrosia and her friends were enthralled by the tales he told about the last century. Lord Teddington looked absolutely splendid once he'd been kitted out in a suitable outfit!

Restoration

There really wasn't much left of teddy besides his outer skin when he arrived at Ambrosia Place. But Ambrosia, never daunted by a challenge, set to work to bring teddy back to life. He was given a bubble bath and cloud-fill, and then everyone tried to decide what to do next. One bear friend made new ears, while another fitted new eyes and nose. Ambrosia helped by re-embroidering his mouth, and he was finished off with a sweet bow. Teddy was absolutely delighted, and everyone had a party to celebrate!

Restoration

Teddy was not feeling very sweet at all when he arrived at Ambroisa place. His right arm was tatty, his pads were coming off and his stuffing falling out. He was also droopy and his right leg was hanging off! The bears had quite a lot to do, so they set to work immediately. Teddy was plumped up and his growl made better; his right hand unfurled, his right leg was re-attached, and was he givem very smart new pads all round. He really couldn't believe the transformation!

General Repair

Teddy had managed to lose his eyes and his growl during his life advantues, and so came to Ambrosia Place to be fixed up. It was also decided that teddy would benefit from being covered in bubbles and then having a thorough brushing; Ambrosia also thought that he'd look incredibly handsome with new pads all round, and so that's what she did!

Re-jointing and New Pads

Teddy's head was pretty much destroyed; there was a huge ripped seam and he'd also lost his nose. To make matters worse, his pads were all tatty and hanging off. Ambrosia and her bear frineds set to work right away, and soon teddy's head was back where it needed to be! Ambrosia carefully re-stitched his nose and gave him some lovely new pads.

General Repair

Overt the years, teddy's arms had lost some of their stuffing, and his hands had become ripped and shrivelled; he also had a huge split around the back of his left leg joint, and was scared his leg would fall off completely if something wasn't done very quickly! The bears did their very best to make teddy feel all handsome and happy again. Doesn't he look good?

Restoration

This was a really wonderful restoration for the bears as teddy had been made many years ago by a man who fell in love with his nurse; he gave her teddy and they were married! But teddy had been loved so much that he was a shadow of his original self, and his owners hoped Ambrosia could turn back time for them all. Teddy's right arm was re-jointed, he was washed and brushed, and the bers stitched on brand new red pads. They even put back the heart that had been on his chest at the the very start!

Re-jointing

Poor teddy had managed, like so many others, to lose his head! He arrived at Ambrosia Place feeling very sorry for himself. In no time at all, his head was back on securely and he was given a lovely brush. He was such a sweet little bear that everyone was very sad when he went home.

Restoration

Poor teddy had been loved so much that his feet were  acopmplete mess and leaking stuffing; he'd also managed to lose his eyes and voice, and didn't feel sweet in the slightest.

He felt really lovely afterwards!

Pads and Clean

Eyes and Nose

Ambrosia found some beautiful new glass eyes for him in the flowery garden at the back of Ambrosia Place.

Wash and Restuff

This teddy, like so many others, was full of horrible stuffing which had degraded. He was made of artists' silk and Ambrosia thinks - but she may be wrong! - that he may be Polish from the 1940s.

When he was filled with clouds, they all cheered! He looked incredibly handsome and they all had a party to celebrate1

The bears made sure that this characteristic was preserved. He felt gorgeous when he saw himself in the mirror.

External Clean

Sometimes, all you ever really need to feel fantastic again is a really good bath! Paddington had been on so many adventures that he'd become extremely dirty and felt awful.

His adventures had been so exciting that he'd also misplaced all of his clothes! This Paddington also had a very enjoyable time in the bubble tub and looked lovely when he was dry and brushed. Then he was given wonderful new glass eyes, his legs were re-stuffed, and Ambrosia reconstructed his feet before stitching on lovely, new, felt pads.

The bears set to work, and soon turtle was looking quite a bit better!

Restoration

The bears were thoroughly delighted when this - as they believed - American 'stick' bear came to stay at Ambrosia Place. He was around 100 years old and had many tales to tell while he enjoyed his spa treatment. His arms were made all better, as was his sore muzzle.

Isn't he absolutely tremendous?

Restoration

Teddy arrived in one of the worst states that the Ambrosia Bears had ever seen. How on earth does a teddy become almost completely disintegrated? The bears rushed to help. Teddy's poor face was patched as carefully as possible, making sure to leave as much of the original nose as posisble. His owners speicifically requested this and wanted to plant more kisses as soon as teddy was feeling better. Teddy was also given sweet new ears, and his tummy was patched.

His remaining fur was cleaned and brushed to fluff it up. He felt so much better afterwards!

Re-jointing

This sweet little bear had, at some point, lost his arm and leg mobility. His owners had stitched them securely to his body as they were afraid of losing them and he just couldn't move; he was really uncomfortable. Ambrosia very carefully removed all of the home stitching and found that the joint areas were all ripped. She carefully fixed those areas and replaced his old joints. Teddy felt absolutely wonderful now he had complete movement back in his arms and legs.

Patching

A very sweet, but very shy, little tiger called Gold came to stay at Ambrosia Place for a spell. His poor tail was all worn away and it was rather uncomfortable.
