Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Paula,
I also would like to give this a go, thanks.

Funny, I just finished looking at Ebay, and came over here to check out TT.  I had just LOOKED at the little yorkie and thought she was sooooo cute.  I can see why someone would want her just for themself without having to compete for her.

Good luck with your auction.
Also looked at the bear Maurice(?) very nice too.

Karen

Very nice, job well done.

Hi Kelly.
I'm a bit newer here @ TT but I too have wondered about the joys of selling through ebay.  My bears and dogs have never really done very well on ebay.  I sold about 1/2 of what I have listed and have only listed 2 bears recently and neither sold.  I did clean out some patterns I haven't needed and some nice mohair I knew I wouldn't use and those all sold pretty good, and thankfully without any problems.  I must say it is a bit of work, the listing, the fee's involved, the shipping (now there's a nightmare).  My bears are in a low price range to start with as I have not won awards, I don't have a website or customer base, and I have only been in a few shows, no one knows who I am (or maybe they don't like what I offer) and I don't want to just give them away, so ebay is a hard place to deal with. 
I have sold to friends mostly and I aways give them a better deal and it is almost always an order, not something  I already have made up. 
I have noticed the Bid4bears and thought I might check into that. 
I wish you the best of luck if you stick with ebay, I have a show coming up in Ann Arbor, last year it ended early because there were no collectors to purchase items the last hour of the show, I'm hoping for all the venders this year that it is a better show.

My Scout is still just getting the idea of what it is like being a dog.  She is a rescue that we got from Collie Rescue a year ago.  It is taking her some time to trust us let alone talk to us.  After 14 plus years for a golden retriever that couldn't possible love his mom more, she has been a challenge with her being so distant.  But I'm a dog and puppy trainer so she just might have a chance to be kind of normal.

Here's Scout

not sure if her picture will come up.  Keep getting an error.

Thanks to all of you, his recycled mink did look a big different (the sparkle) when I changed the pixel #s.  I will work on the picture of myself, as I can never find one of myself that I like!  There sure are a lot of very talanted artist posting here and thought I would try to jump in here and there instead of just being a reader.

Thought I would try out the avatar feature and wondered how it would look.
