The internationally acclaimed designs of Mary Holstad have delighted stuffed animal collectors for many years. This website provides a brief history of Mary and her artistry as well as a look at current designs and scheduled appearances.

The Artist Info, Artist Bears Info, Photo Album and Awards sections of this website contain the Mary Holstad & Friends history in words and photos.

To see which artist pieces are currently available to order, please visit the Current Artist Bear Gallery. There is normally a 1 to 3 month backlog of artist orders. However, a much shorter wait for completion of a new order is possible due to open areas in our schedule that sometimes occur. The estimated completion date for a new order will gladly be given to anyone before or after they place an order.

For those interested in ordering collectibles, gifts or decorative items for immediate delivery, please go to the "New Ganz Page". The New Ganz Page contains a variety of Ganz manufactured items. This section also contains a selection of Mary Holstad & Friends tee shirts and sweatshirts and bear stands. All manufactured items on the "NEW Ganz page", if in stock, are immediately available by submitting a secure online order.
