Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Not sure about other shops,  but we have generally found artists, by word of mouth or various shows we visit.   We are always open to new lines and new artists to include in our shop,  As we have a fairly large base of customers which like artist bears exclusively.   How to put your bears into a shop,  I'd say place a phone call,  and explain, that you'd like the chance to show them your bears.   If your within distance to visit, you can visit,  or if too far,   this phone call will allow you to tell the owners to expect an email with an attachment,  or mail them a letter afterwards.   As to pricing, again,  we'd be open to just about anything.  Consignment, wholesale, commission, etc.....with the understanding that sometimes the artist bears sometimes take a little longer to move out of the store,  but they are among friends while there....
