Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to say that I enjoy reading all the posts - I find that I am becoming addicted to reading them.

Does anyone know of any Teddy bear clubs in the North Carolina area? If not,  has anyone had experience in starting one that they would like to share?

Welcome MJ!!!

Welcome and it is about time you came out to play!
Keep posting and get to know everyone and before you know it others from your area will start too....

This Friday we are having an impromptu Northern California/Southern Oregon meeting......and it would never have happened if we hadn't started sharing here...


It is a lot of fun and everyone here is very supportive and helpful....


So come on all you North Carolina belles and beaus.....we got some one here who wants to really play....come out and keep this person company!



Oh dear, mj, I am hampered by not knowing.....are you a he or a she? 

I don't want to say he if you're a she


or she if you're a he


but I am hoping that you will like playing with all of us and come back often and share-

So00000  what kind of bears do you do?  What kind of gollies do you do?
do you do minis. hugies, do you dress or not dress....(the bears and gollies silly)
Do you collect, do you have a favorite bear?  lets see the bear and you tell us about it...

There is so much to learn here!


I do tend to run on.....


Ask anyone



Glad you are here!

Hi Again!

Sorry - I am a she. My name is Meg and I have been making bears for about 3 years. I've done a few teddy shows both here in North Carolina and in Maryland. I also have a website which is www.pinneybears.com.  I also collect bears.

Welcome to the board, Meg . . . love the bear climbing the tree on your website!  Hope you have fun here and I don't know of any teddy clubs in N. Carolina.  My younger daughter, however, did graduate from Univ. of N. C. and then got 2 master's degrees from Duke.  Not that that has anything to do with your question!!  bear_grin bear_grin

Sue Ann:

you certainly have bragging rights about that daughter of yours!

Jane:

hot?!?!?!?  Boy does this seem backward.  We are freezing here, and it is dismal...were supposedto get 65 inches of rain but this year feels like 100.

Meg:

We really are glad you came....thank you for posting your website-  what fun..

Oh Jane I'm boiling too..........we're not used to it here in the UK, it's a bit of a shock to our systems!!

I hope you got all that fluff off, I got so fed up with that one day I bought myself a plastic apron - Fab!!

Welcome Meg, you'll have lots of fun here!!

Take care
