I received the news tonight that Georgette Thomas long time owner of the Hugging Bear Inn in Chester, Vermont
Is ill with late stage pancreatic cancer. Her family says she is not up to phone calls or visits but that cards would be greatly appreciated. To all of us who know and love her this is devasting news. Her warmth and humor and vivacious personality have long made trips to Chester special events. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family. For the address you can google Hugging Bear Inne and Shoppe.
The sun is out here in Vermont and it has been a rare occurrance this year! Happy Spring!
me too!
I would love to do that! Took the regular course this year but got teased because the head kept falling of my "baby"
yeah like i said when i google earthed it..you could see just what you described..no houses on that stretch. the fact that the tone didnt seem Australian...and the shipping part were what set off bells for me,
Thanks guys! Too bad the can't stop this crap
ooh i'm an idiot I didnt think to google his NAME! Now I can block him from my address book thanks! I knew it was off!
That shipping thing and the really weird way its worded..nice to know im not completely gullible! thanks Tammy!
I have gotten several email form a man who wishes to order bears from me ..but something about the order doesnt feel right.
His name is Richard Moriss. Dont worry about shpiping his agent will pick it up,,cant use paypal..i google earthed hsi address
and there is such an adress but all i see is a fishing hole there, No actual houses, any advice?
thanks Marg and Debora! I am probably going to tweak the banner a bit because i dont qiote love it..but my software is being updated at the moment! hello CS5! I am so excited! Iguess Im irritated ai cant place the widgets where i want them,,add a gadget seems to be pretty stationery.
Marg, what do you think? haven't figured out how to add cute stuff down the side yet but its "fresher"!
Marg,
Thank you so much for the info! I played with it awhile last night but wasnt happy with the choices, I figured there must be a way to import more just coudnt figure it out! Thank you! I love the eyes and expressions on your bears and yes I would love to swap links!
If I want to change the "look" of my blog background,do I have to recreate the whole thing?
That looks like a very happy bunny as they all should be! Cute~ 
Absolutely adorable! And great background for the photo!
I have a weakness for Rabbits! Loved him
His tag says made in Vermont by D & K Cook
nobody I'm familiar with
His shirt is handmade and rather clever i thought
My Dh and I went to an auction here in VT on Sunday and this is my find of the day!
Anyone can participate in the fair for a $125 booth fee thru the chamber of commerce, but yes Georgette says she needs them to be Vt artists at her site. The bear artists are usually only there on saturday because its a 3 hr drive for many of us and with the dogs its not an over night thing. Sandi goes on to the race at Loudin thelast two years one of the churches does a hot apple crisp give away thats to die for on a cool fall morning!! I get to see old friends.sell some bears and shop!
I SAID "I'm Napping" Go Away!!!! cute!
How cool is that! Very clever! That will be a show stopper for sure!
Congratulations! What a cutie! 
yes Daphne! I forgot about that lovely little quilt shop! I adore the old buildings its in! There is a lovely craft fair there in September also! There are bear artists there! Me! usually Donna Bjerke, Jill Kenny , Sandi Rexford, Lynn Gatto and sevearl who come as their schedule permits. Georgette is always looking for more!
Chester is a beautiful little town with like 13 historic stone houses,,a large number of bed and breakfast's. antiques, restaurants . And of course Artists! Huggin Bear Inn has a bear (literally ) in every room and a shop chock full of ever kind imaginable! Near a major ski area. Its soo much fun to stay there overnight because we always had the run of the shop at night! We could go in a search to our hearts content!
And I could write a whole on just how much I love Donna and her bears! 
:crackup: :crackup: :dance: VERY good eyes!! thats funny! could be!
