puca bears May 22, 2008

I just happened to notice one of David's bears in the current Teddybear & Friends  - address bumpkinbears@hotmail.com
We have similar problems with sales tax & customs here in Europe - apparently one has to jump thru all sorts of hoops if attending one of the Swiss shows..........a friend (who shall remain nameless) said that they get round all the hassle by turning the visit into a family holiday - she makes minis, and what customs officer would notice a little case full when there are four young kids bouncing round in the car?

Ah yes - well, Switzerland is definitely a law unto itself!

Regarding Mark's shows - yes, I have done his Christmas show in Toronto a few years back and had a fabulous time - it was also the first time I met the Bear Guys (more fabulousness, naturally!!).  When I posted the question about the stuffing license, it was really because I would love to go back to Toronto and do another one of his shows.  He and Susan do a great job and I know his shows are popular.  Maybe one day I will get to do Hunt Valley too...

Hugs,
Christine

Christine,
     If you've done a Canadian show, what did you do about a stuffing license then, or didn't you know about it?

                                     hugs,

Thanks for posting that Maria, that was the email I gave to Christine as it was the only one that I had.  I knew he was still making bears but haven't heard from him in awhile.  Hmmmm I should check up on him shouldn't I, that would be right thing to do.

big hugs
