I'm sending you a big bear hug from all the way across the country! Feel well soon!
I'm glad you like them. this show is nowhere near as big as Hugglets or Teddy Bear Total, but for an afternoon out, it was just great! 
So....this Sunday, I went to the Quinlan Teddy Bear (and Dolly) Show in Philadelphia!!! What a lovely time! I only went for Sunday, but the artists and their bears were phenomenal! Of course, I had to buy a subscription to Teddy Bear Times (from the UK, now in the U.S. and sold at Barnes and Noble! no kidding!) I have to say the magazine is gorgeous and filled with great articles!
I had a chance to meet and talk to a lot of artists and ask questions. It was fascinating and great fun. (I still can't get over Joanne Livingston's Desert Mountain Bears! They are true incredible works of art. 
Cindy McGuire's bears -- fabulous! Sharon Barron bears -- wow! By the end of the day, my head was spinning! There were also some tables of gently used manufactured bears like Steiff and artist bears and many other affordable bears sold for the charity Good Bears of the World as well. Lovely!
Below are the new additions to by hug, a gently used giant 23-inch Stier Bear and a lovely lamb named Agnes from the Teddy Bear Barn by artist Allen Hsu! (She is stuffed with excelsior so is very light!) Too cute!
I would encourage artists and collectors alike to go next year!
I wouldn't be able to exist this lovely bear either! 
or in a BEAR TREE!!!!!! lol!

Yes, kudos to Christina! I just like to follow along...soooo...here's my friday face...looks like it's time for the weekend!
