Janet and Alex Wilson were showing Janet’s handmade bears and her partially manufactured line. Three of her new Handmade Treasures are “George & Martha Washington” (in blue) and “Roslyn.” All are 3” tall. The partially manufactured bears are called the Fluffwees. Janet has the bodies made overseas, then she personally finishes the faces.

The Wilsons and McKays are working together to promote a new show in Hunt Valley, MD, on November 5 (that’s just north of Baltimore). Alex says the show is gaining momentum, and there seems to be a lot of excitement about it. Vendors will be dressed in Christmas costumes, and tables will be decorated in the same theme. I’ve already signed up for a table, and I hope I’ll see some of you there in the fall!

Mark also mentioned a new show by Marge Voigt of The Nursery Window, Ltd. in Kohler, WI. It’s a small invitational scheduled for October 14. Apparently people in the northern central states are missing the show ABC used to do in Kohler, so Marge decided to do her own. I’ve never been to Kohler, but I hear the resort is fabulous. Might be something to consider!

No doubt, Mindy you are the greatest for sharing these pics with us!!!

I'm 'ooohing' and 'aahhhhing' over my morning coffee, but wish I could get my hands on those adorable Fluffwees!   bear_grin Sat here trying to remember why Janet's name rung a bell, then Sheila chimed in to say about the ad in TBFs....ah, that's why....
