About Us

My name is Gary Legarski, At 43, I am the proud Owner and Founder of Dancing Bears Gifts …. I began my business in 1998 selling a wide array of collectible toys (namely the famed beanie babies) on eBay. During the next several years, I was introduced to the woven tapestry business after a close friend of mine suggested the idea.  After a successful launch of a small line of tapestry pillows and throws, it was evident that my customers truly loved and appreciated the beautiful, woven tapestries. I furthered the business line completely into the tapestry business and phased out the toy line.   In early 2008, I made another business expansion with the purchase of a 2800 sq. ft. warehouse/showroom facility (pictured above) to move the business operations from the basement of my house and storage rental units. In late 2008, we launched our new website and continue to expand our product line.  Thus, Dancing Bears Gifts continues on a path of providing customers with exceptional woven tapestries as well as other gifts and collectibles . We also employ some of the most talented seamstress’ to take advantage of custom work and hard to find patterns.

If I am not working you may see me riding through town on my Harley! I am a motorcycle enthusiast and whenever the opportunity for a ride presents itself, I try to take advantage of a little vacation time. Support your HOGS! We truly are a great bunch of guys and gals!
