Dear friends,
Las sunday, Malko's sister told me she found an article about my bears in a French local magasine and showed it to me. She discovered it while in the waiting room at her GP's. So she borrowed the magasine to show everyone in the family.
This is so surprising. No one came to interview me neither asked if I did not mind being featured in that magasine.
This is a magasine all about Le Mans and its whole county. That magasine was born only one year ago so it is not much know yet.
I guess someone working for that magasine discovered my website and picked there everything for the article.
Still, this makes me good free advert!
This is the first time I am featured in a magasine if we except the teddy bear face book.
:dance: :dance: :dance:
Yesterday i finally managed to get a pair copies of the magasine after asking in a few libraries.
This is written in French, but basically this is a sum up of my page about the artist from my website. Plus it says that some of my bears went to Sydney Teddy Bear Fair.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Wow Sophie, that's great. They really should have asked you for your permission to write about you, although I think you would have said it was OK. It's always great to get a free advert. Why not contact the magazine and say that you have just found the article about yourself and maybe they would like to do another one to see more of your work.
Hugs, Jane.
Hi Sophie, I bet that was a surprise - but a really good surprise.
Jane, i am thinking about contacting them indeed to ask them how they discovered my website. always good to know. and as you say, maybe they will make more advert about me in the future, hehehehehehe...
This magasine is very cheap (only 2 euros) and is published every three months : one per season. My article is in the summer one. The name of the magasine is Happy sitiz of Le mans (written like that) : French people like to use English words.
They have a website in building process : so far they have only an home page with no link to any other page (www.happy-sitiz.fr).
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Congratulations, Sophie. I imagine you're thrilled to be the subject of their magazine even if they didn't ask permission. But, like Jane, they probably should have asked to used your pictures. Contacting them would be a good idea, though. :clap: :clap: :clap:
:clap: :clap: Congratulations Sophie!!! :clap: :clap: Free advertising is always a good thing But I'm another who would pop by to chat with them about the article. They really should know that they need permission to take your photos for a magazine. Even if they are just starting out. Someone else might not look so kindly on their photos or information being taken without permission.
Big, huge congrats, Sophie - that's great!! But, I agree . . . very presumptuous to publish without permission. Certainly a chat with them is in order. Isn't it mind-bending to see your work in print? :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
oh Sophie, how wonderful!!! Congrats Madam Ladyfriend!
Congratulations, Sophie, you must be doing the happy dance!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: Congratulations Sophie, what a a surprise for you to find out that way. :dance: :dance: :dance:
Big congrats, Sophie - it's always amazing to see your work in print :dance: :dance: :dance:
But like several others have said - it is a bit cheeky of them not to have asked you first
huggies

Wow Sophie what a nice surprise for you. Congratulations!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Congratulations Sophie! and what a surprise it must have been to read and see photos of your bears.
That is good advertising and I hope that a lot of people will read all about you and your bears.
Hugs

What a lovely surprise Sophie! It's cheeky of them not to ask you, but on the other hand, as you say, a lovely free promotion of your work!!!!
