Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

What a lovely home! I noticed the dollhouse too. Love it! I have two dollhouses begging to be finished. I reallly ought too since I now have a daughter that would love it. As for my house...well, that would involve cleaning so...maybe next month. My dad built an addition onto their house just for my mom's bears! They're doing some remodeling right now, but maybe sometime I'll take pics of her house! Hundreds and hundreds of bears.

She's so sweet. Hurry up and dress her brother so we can see him too!

Deb, that was really cute! Sure was a lot simpler when we were kids.

How cute and funny. I sure needed a little laugh this morning! And although I am only eternally engaged and not married...I think I would agree that #25 just might be correct!

Great news, Fran. Glad you got it all figured out.

Cross your fingers for me too...a cashier's check was sent to Canada over a month ago for some racing seats for my fiancee's car. Still waiting for the seats to be shipped, and today I noticed the guy is no longer registered on ebay. I think we just got scr@w@d out of $250. 

Oh, Kim, I just love your bears. He's beautiful. And if it wasn't for the blue collar around his neck, he might get mistaken for a real little critter! 

What an outstanding couple, and the lovely display is definitely the icing on the cake! 

Thanks, Dilu
I've been sneaking around here for a few weeks. I finally decided to register! Please do let us know how the light box works out for you.

As for the unconfirmed address- paypal verifies that a user is who they say they are by confirming their address. Just because it's unconfirmed won't mean they are bad people. In order to get a confirmed address, a user has to have a credit card on file with paypal. I had an uncomfirmed address for a very long time only because I didn't have a credit card on file. Some sellers will state in their auctions that they won't sell to unconfimred addresses, I guess this is because of credit card fraud. I've sold to lots of people with unconfirmed addresses and bought lots of things even as I was unconfirmed and never had any problems. But definitely hang onto to your beautiful bear until that money shows up in your account!

Shelli-
I don't think you have to worry about anyone bypassing your work! Your bears are amazing. If someone primarily sells on ebay, well, then I go look on ebay.

As for bears being sold on a website, it is nice to know the price up front.

I was just researching and reading an older post about light boxes, then what do ya know...everyone is talking about what I"m looking for. My fiancee was trying to explaing to me something about taking pictures. He said he was going to build something for me...and apparently it's one of these light boxes. Well, I'm not going to hold my breath for him to build it quickly, so it would be great if you gals who just got one would let me know how they work out for you.

Wow, they are absolutely beautiful! I really love how you have dressed them! Congrats on selling them. I remember how excited I was when I first sold one. Did a little happy dance while no one was looking!  :dance: Heck, I still get excited when someone is actually willing to pay me for one. Although, it's way more about the appreciation than the money.
