Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Don't worry about it, SueAnn, we will take care of it.
We will be keeping our fingers (and paws) crossed that the surgery goes well and that you will soon be rid of the pain!
Sending you big big hugs.     

"Don't even think about touching my baby!"

What an unusual bear; I don't think I have ever seen paws like that.  But he has a very endearing expression. 

Silvia's bears are amazing; I just love all of them and Mika is a real beauty! 

I love your new adoptees, Esther (especially the big bear  ) and I would dearly love to visit the Quinlan show.
I saw several pictures of Joanne's bears at the show and one day I hope to be able to adopt one of her wonderful creatures. 
Sharon Barron's bears are among my favourites too: I have a few very large ones in my hug. 
I know what you mean about your head spinning; I always feel the same after a visit to the Hugglets show in London or one of the shows in Germany; but it's a good feeling. 

      Glad you got rid of the spider (and everything else)! 

       Oh how many times I have wanted to say this... :     

       I like these posts!   

       Yes, you are definitely worth it! 

       So many things to ruin, so little time! 

      I bet you can't do this! 

"A corn star in Hamsterdam!!!"     

      ... or the cops show up! 

She is a lovely traditional bear!   

       "Monday, Monday, go away; come again some other day! " 

      Close Harmony. 

      Oh, those poor mailmen! 

       It's the weekend, so I hope you are having a nice time to relax

Let's all give a big cheer for our birthday girl SueAnn!!      

       Awww, look at his expression 

Hi Monique,
I am not a bear artist, but a collector, so I not the one you are sending your SOS to.
But I can tell you that in my opinion the main cause why the discussions on TT have been reduced the past years is the success of Facebook. 
Nearly all teddy bear artist I know are active on FB.  There are also lots of FB groups for artists, collectors, specific brands of teddy bears, etc...
You will find that there are plenty of bear artists still active, also in Australia, but sadly their input here on TT is now minimal. 

       And if you can't afford a fan, there's always this... 

       No, we are not available for Monday!
