Did anyone notice this display pictured and written about in the latest Teddy Bear and Friends (March/April) ?   It is a wonderful article about ways of sharing the bear world with our local communities.  Thanks, Mindy

UNTIL NOW------BEVERLY WAS RECOVERING FROM A SERIOUS ILLNESS IN 2007-----AND I DID NOT

JOIN  "TEDDY TALK" UNTIL LAST WINTER.          JOHN PAUL PORT HAS CREATED DISPLAYS IN MANY

LIBRARIES AND OTHER PUBLIC VENUES----AS WELL AS A GRAND ROOM-SIZE  DISPLAY AT THE

"TBAI" EXTRAVAGANZA FOR "THE TEDDY BEAR'S 100th BIRTHDAY"  IN 2002.

                         THIS WAS SO WONDERFUL OF YOU !!!    I HOPE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WILL THINK

ABOUT DOING DISPLAYS TO KEEP INTEREST IN THE TEDDY BEAR ALIVE !!!    WE NEED TO HELP HIM

EVERY WAY WE CAN !!!       YOU ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW !!!     

                                            :hug:        MANY HUGS AND MORE ROSES,

You win my

TEDDY BEAR AMBASSADOR

award for 2007!

That goes for me too : you really did a FANTASTIC JOB, Janet.  You can tell that you put a lot of time and effort in the display. 
Your display would certainly not be out of a place in a toy museum.

WELL DONE !

Hugs,  :hug:

Thank you so much for the rivived interest in my display and I was so surprised to see it again.

    What was really neat was that I was asked to repeat it again for the month of Dec. 2009 and it was a wonderful place to put it all while I packed up my house for a move.  I added another shelf to make some changes.  This shelf was devoted to the history of Teddy Bears in literature and I incorporated many books from the library  including Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, examples of The Three Bears  and others.  I had a couple of bears to go with these books.  Wish I had taken a photo of this one too but circunstances at the time prevented me doing this. 

     I am now living in Breckenridge , CO and I am investigating the libraries in this area .  I hope to redo this display or parts of it in yet another library.      Janet
