Jare Hares & BearsToday was the first day. We opened at 1:00 pm and closed at 5:00 pm and was opened to trade only. Saturday and Sunday we are open to collectors and the public. We have had a great show so far.
I'll post pictures after I get them re-sized.
That's all for now.
Past Time BearsOh wonderful, Jared!! Looking forward to more report!!

Past Time BearsGreat photos, Jared! Your tables look terrific and that kitty on Karen's shoulder is to die for! Wow - all of that talent! Have bunches of fun.
Jare Hares & BearsOk I got more photos today, but I had to get my homework done tonight. It is hard to post homework when I don't have an internet connection and I don't get an internet connection on the airplane.
Mum was awarded a Theodore Society Ambassdor Award this evening before the Golden Teddies. Talk about a shock to the system... But I am so proud of my mum!
Samantha Potter, she won a Golden Teddy, and her husband sat next to us during the awards and we chatted for a bit. It is always fun to meet fellow TTers, but even more fun when they are from another country.

Jare Hares & BearsWell,
I managed to get all of my reading for Econ in the airport and then I got most of my reading for Humanities done on the plane, which I finished in the hotel room on Friday night. Like I said, I had to do it with one eye open. I even managed to take a quiz in Econ and passed it. Oh, well just a few more quarters to go and I'll be done.
On a sad note...
Teddy Bear Artist, Nancy Dane learned of her brother's sudden passing on Sunday. I contacted and asked her if it would be ok to let you all know and to post her e-mail. So if you would please keep her in your thoughts and prayers I know that would mean a great deal to her. If you would like to drop her a line you may do so by contacting her @ BENTBEARS@aol.com.
We had an excellent show and would encourage more artists (teddy bear & doll) to attend this event. The crowd was steady all day Friday and Saturday, at some points it was hard to move about the floor, that is a good thing! Sunday was slow, but Sundays usually are, but even at that we had a good day. Many of the artists I talked with said that they had a good time as well as good sales. That is what we all like to hear.
Yes, it was hot and sticky, but there is an upside to doing a show at a hotel. We avoided most of that by staying in the hotel. There is a CVS Pharmacy down the block from the hotel where I grabbed some pop and a small fan. And there is also a small grocery store, local resturants, and McDonald's where you can get food too. So you are not limited to the hotel's restaurants. All of this within walking distance.
Jane Perala Designs Ltd.Thanks for the fantastic photos Jared - it was really great to see everyone's wonderful creations through your camera lens.
