bear_sad  bear_sad  bear_sad This happened to me last year too. I kept looking at all the posts of the beautiful bears (and beautiful bear artists, too bear_flower ) who are going to Hugglets, and I really really want to go!!!
Oh, to hold all those lovely bears in person! I wanna go to Hugglets! Even the name of the fair fills me with warm fuzzies!
Fabulous job, all!

Tami, I'll do my best to get lots of pictures for you. I hope to get there as early as possible, get my stand set up and then go around with my camera for you and all the other members who can't get there in person. I can't do much about you being able to to hold all those lovely bears in person, but I'll give some a cuddle on your behalf and if Paula has her back turned I'll sneak a bear in my bag for you.  bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin  No only joking! Don't worry Paula your bears are safe.  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

That goes for me too!!! Or at least one from each artist!!

If I get a table I could write the trip off as business expense couldn't I?
It would be cool!
Please do take lots of pictures for us, Jane.  bear_flower

Hmmmmm   maybe we should start organizing a Teddy Talk get together at Hugglets next yr,  give everyone time to save up some money.   I know we are planning on going over next yr, unsure if it would be Feb or Sept, I think we would shoot for Sept as the weather would be nicer.  So if we pick a date and start putting money aside I bet we could do it, we could all meet up the day before the show and have a big party.  (plus we could preview everyone's bears and buy before hand   :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: )

Who's In???   :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

big hugs

I'll be at the 1st Annual Teddy Bear Retreat next September... I hear it's going to be a huge event here in the states not to be missed. When in Sept. is Hugglets? Maybe I can squeeze in both???? I think the retreat will be late Sept.

I just looked at the list of participating artist for the show this weekend.... OH WOW!!!

Yeah... next year... lets go!!! bear_thumb  bear_thumb  bear_thumb

Often when exhibiting in Europe you would have tour teddy groups coming through.  Between Intercal, collectors and artists you could get a group airline and hotel discounts and form a tour.

Firstly you could visit the show in Zurich , get your fill of bears and swiss chocolates then work your way over to London. Between Zurich and London their used be a week difference now I think it could be two weeks. More time to eat swiss chocolates.

Of course with all the mail I get saying how many millions of pounds/dollars I have won I could then just hire a jet and hotel for all bear_grin  bear_grin

The September show for Huggletts is the first Sunday in the month.

Oh those girlies are all such a tease aren't they...??   bear_tongue    It is a wonderful show and if any of you ever get the opportunity to go, please do I thoroughly recommend it!!   bear_thumb  bear_thumb   Sadly I won't be able to see all the wonderful bears or lovely artists either this time as I can't walk very far at the moment (poor old soul!!   :crackup:  :crackup: ) but I would certainly be up for a TT meeting next September, that would be a dream!!  Count me in!!   :dance:  :dance:

In the mean time, everyone who's exhibiting or visiting, have a wonderful time, and please take some pics, I don't think Jane's going to have time to take lots!!!   :hug:  :hug:
