Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

:clap:
Congratulations to you Lisa,
You're doing a fabulous job putting some enthusiasm and dedication towards making the Australian Bear Industry even better. To all those artists who entered good luck and congratulations for contributing to the inaugural competition. Great things start from humble beginnings. Next year will be even bigger I'm sure. Don't forget to have a peek on the website. I enjoyed my visit.

I enjoyed that. How great are your pictures. My parents are visiting England and Ireland in September and will certainly love the experience. Thanks for sharing.

Can anyone help? I would like to buy a bear that really has that aweful old smell. It is stuffed with excelsior and is a Chinese bear. Can anyone suggest how to remove it?
Thanks
Vicki

This will be a first if it works. Fingers crossed!

Hello,
Maureen Christie just did the Sydney Teddy Bear Fair last weekend. She had some lovely work and made a beautiful painted card  for Bears for Barb with one of Barb's old bears on it.
Kathy Karas has to be the loveliest lady ever! I have a museum of her work and bought beautiful drawers from her last weekend. She has made an angel hatbox for Barb which was sold and I now have an angel painting that she kindly donated too!  They both deserve  !
Hugs
Vicki
