Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Oh Daphne!!!  Great photos!!!  You looked GORGEOUS!

I did get a little kick to see Bertrum in your cabninet in the front LOL
Danni

You lucky girl!
Danni

Hahahah Daphne - I hope Henry's little purple bear will be amongst them and has been pruned (although he was made fairly early on, it might be better if he wasn't here lol  :crackup: )

You'll be fine!
Danni

Hi,

I always state that I send one email per week.  that way I don't feel bad and that way they know what they are signing up for.  It's worthwhile!   I wouldn't be a member of a list if the owner sent more than one message a week.
Danni

Oooh I know how you feel - but my latest one was showing up in 2 mins!!!!
Danni

Oh dear - I know how you must be feeling.  Actually I don't.  I can't imagine being in a similar situation and surviving.  I can't imagine you being shy though!!!       :hug:

Hmm I'm the opposite. I'm not a sweater and jeans type of girl.  Don't worry about your bottom half too much - just make it match as best you can.  I'm sure you'll fing something great to wear  :hug:

You know you'll be fine when it comes to the crunch - I know you'll be fine!!!! I Just hope you send me a copy of the video!!!!!!!!!!!!! For your bestest buddy down under ???   :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:

I WILL be thinking you alllll day tomorrow (even in my sleep)
Best of luck
You go get em champ!
Danni

I'm sorry, but most of you looks like will feel I'm unreasonable.  I don't leave feedback until the person has receive their item.  I feel there's a chance (never happened) that the person might receive the item, and might be unreasonable about something regarding that item.  So, I only leave it until after.

Just do what you feel is right I guess.
Danni

My bears are stuffed quite firmly - some would say hard.  They are also very  heavy.  Personally I think they feel like better quality- I'm not sure why.

It also works well, heavy little bears, which are fat - I think it's effective.
Danni

Ooh that is so cool Daph!!! Looks like a great trip all round - I bet you two girls had a marvelous time!
Danni

I've had a bear of mine put on eBay.  She decided she wanted to collect larger bears.  But then, she seemed to be buying a ton of bears and selling a ton of those bears - I think trying to make a profit.  But she made losses.

It was a shock when I saw it, but then I figure it is their collection - their bears, they paid for it, they have the right to sell it.  So, it doesn't worry me.

Try not to take it personally - it'll happen plenty more times too.  It may have happened before, you mightn't foudn the auction, I figure that's very possible for me.

I collect vintage barbie dolls, and sometimes I purchase from the original owners.  I know some of them wouldn't like me to sell their dolls down the track, but I still will - because your tastes change, or you don't have room etc... Just try not to take it personally.
Danni

I'll get in on the action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Ooooh Krista            

I would never sell my identical twin sister...

actually... on second thoughts,   she's she's been a bugger this morning ... she's going cheap...

any takers?
:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
Danni

P>S -  Seriously - I don't know either - I have seen people who do 2/2 or 3/3 buy it nows on eBay, where you can buy the 1, 2, or 3 and I have seen lots of people just buy one, and some buy the whole lot - that might be the way to go?  Or if on a webpage, you could have the price for one, or the set.  A little cheaper for the set than to purchase as a single.

:clap:  :clap:  :clap:
Congratulations Celena - that's wonderful news.
Danni

Okay so when the kids and you were telling me about the lizards, I couldn't quite imagine them THAT big LOL  They are gorgeous, I can see why your gorgeous kiddies love them so much.

Emmm... Frogs huh!  Where abouts?  I can so imagine your daughter doing that!!!

I just hope you get her lunchbox cleaned out well before you pop her next lunch back into it 

Have fun - whatever you decide to do with him!
Danni

It's funny, the only time I am really stressed is when I have loads of orders, and thnk I'll never meet my deadlines etc.  I like to spend a day away from the bears when I can to do something a little different and escape from bears.

But most of the time I really enjoy it and it is a stress reliever.
Danni

My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail???  Bummer, FAO Schwartz!  YUMMO!!!!!!  My dream store too. I would love to get lost in there.

Oh I wanna play with you girls!  Tonner is such a great company - I love how their plush Mimzy's are SO close to Daph's! Amazing.  I can't say I like their Wizard of Oz dolls though - but that's another story LOL
Danni

Oh this bought tears to my eyes Krista - thankgoodness there are beautiful people left in the world like you and your hubby.  He needed someone like the both of you.   :hug:

Thanks for sharing, you are both wonderful people.
Danni

Oh Jenn  :hug:

Hang in there - try to keep strong, TRY not to worry too much,

My thoughts are with you. Please let us know how it goes.
Danni

Oh gorgeous kitties - I'm a cat lover too - Dogs can be pains in the bottums (I still love em though, how can you not!!!) 

Great to hear your and the dogs are at a better place - I'm guessing it's better for everyone all round?
Danni

Oooh even I'm wanting this magazine now!!!  I couldn't be bothered in the past.

With Sandra at the helm how could it not (okay, a bit of sucking up at times never goes astray - hey Sandra LOL)

Danni

Ahhh eBay!!!  It is SO quiet at the moment - so don't stress.  You're only new at this - you have to keep that in mind.  I've been selling on there for years and still have the odd bear that doesn't sell.

Just build up your collector base, a mailing list, try to have a webpage, and try other places like Bear Pile.  Your bears are so unique that I think you need to keep putting them forward so people know & recognise you.

Soon you'll have your own little fan base which helps A LOT! I can only put one bear on eBay, because the rest of the time, I'm filling orders. I can't even make any for my webpage because I'm too busy

But, it takes time.
Danni

Oh I am so proud of you Daphne.  I wonder why they didn't put your name on the credits.  I mean, Mimzy is what the movie is based around. Odd.

You should be so proud as well - I bet your Mum is glowing at the moment.

Fingers crossed they'll make a second movie, then you can double the fee this time!!!!
They have the rights for Mimzy right? You can't go and make 100 Mimzy's can you? 
Danni

Oh Marion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      :hug:   That is fantastic news!!!!!!!!   I'm so happy for the both of you!!!

I'm been trying to track you down on eBay etc to see what's been happening with you - I've been worried.
Great to see your post - I missed you

Congratulations - I am so happy for you both.
Danni

That's great Jenn  :hug:
Wonderful News!!!!
