Got my email too. (twice)

Baerreport is one of the leading German teddy bear magazines. They also run the Euro-Teddy show which takes place in Essen (Germany) each year in October (with competiton). I love this show and go there every year. I always combine my show visit with visiting my family in Germany.

I think they also run a show in Wiesbaden, but I am not 100% sure. Maria from Puca bears or Ellen probably know the answer better.

Hugs,
Marion

Congratulations on your new beautiful dog! He seems to like his new family!     

We have 2  "shelter dogs" that stole our hearts . The one is an older lady now and we have her for 10 years, the other is 1 1/2 years old and she is with us since September 2006. They quickly have become family members whom we wouldn't want to miss a day in our lives.

Enjoy your new companion.

Hugs,
Marion

    What a beautiful doll!       
As a doll collector myself I truly feel with you and can understand how you felt until this Jumeau arrived safely.

Congratulations to this treasure!

Hugs,
Marion

Thank you for the nice compliments.

In the meantime I was able to determine Leonie's correct size: it is just 11"  and not 14" as I first guessed.
A letter size sheet was a perfect measuring device. lol

Marion

Hi everybody,

I wanted to introduce another German-born bearkidz to you: Leonie.

Since 5 weeks I am now here and couldn't resist. I had to find yarn and some bear making material.
The outcome is little Leonie.

Leonie is one-of-a-kind and entirely crocheted without a pattern. I guess, she is around 14" (don't have a measuring tape here in the hotel). I used several yarns in yellow shades to achieve her soft "fur". Her paw pads are crocheted from a fine cottong thread.

The collar I found and bought at an antique market. Hope you like little Leonie,

hugs,
Marion

Hi Gaby,

Johnny B. is a very cute bear and the picture is just perfect. Yes, I know (as many others) how hard it is to take a good picture of a black bear. You managed quite well and I can only give you a big compliment    

Hugs,
Marion
