Great work, Jane - it was so nice to talk to you yesterday!
And it was sooo good to be back at Stratford for a bear show!!! I had plenty of comments from collectors who thought so too - I think this is going to become THE event of the summer. If you were hesitating about booking this event, get your skates on as places for next year are filling up fast!!
I have said it elsewhere, but I will say again that Samantha and her family did a fantastic job of producing this show!!! Roll on next June!

That does it; I'm moving to England so I can do this show every year! I'm only half joking, you know.
Sam, you rock star. You pulled off a show just as high quality, beautiful, and well conceived as your bears. Superb!!!
The photos are glorious and the bearmaking talent over there, outstanding. I'm daunted and tickled, both at the same.
This show is covered in awesomesauce!!!
Jane...your a gem ...wonderful pictures as always...with the exception of one (eeekkks :redface: but I forgive you) and its so lovely to see the event all over again..as it seems I missed so much yesterday!..so thanks Jane!
Can't wait for June next year...
Hugs Yvonne :hug:

Lots and lots of big thank you's to Jane for all the effort in taking and loading up the photos, I feel like I was able to go. It was a huge effort and very much appreciated. The show looks just brilliant, oh how I wish we weren't so far away!! Congratulations everyone. You have done our industry proud.
Jane - you always do such a great job of taking photos - thanks once again for allowing me to virtually visit such a far away show.
I was a bit like Ellen on Sunday...mourning my cancelled trip to the UK and the show. looking forward to next year though! I think I need to start that separate bear buying fund immediately! Sooooooo many wonderful bears to choose from
Thank you , Thank you Jane & Paula the photos are SO FANTASTIC!! All of the bears and displays looked so perfect! Fantastic! :clap:
Wow, Samantha you did a truly wonderful job that you should be so very proud of!! :hug:

Samantha you are to be congratulated....wonderful show, love the round tables...makes a refreshing change.
To all the wonderful bear artists that participated...your bears are fabulous...a really great exhibit of teddy bears! Such a wide variety of designs too! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Thanks Jane and Paula for the pics and a huge congrats to you Samantha for a fantastic looking show. I have never seen tables set up that way and it was such a nice change, rather than all the tables just end to end it made it a lot more interesting what a great idea. Wish we had been there, hmmmm maybe next yr wooohooo.
big hugs

Jane,
Thanks soooo much for sharing the pics with all of us who couldn't be there. Sam, it looks like you really outdid yourself...The whole setup looks just amazing!!!
Congrats To All & Continued Success,
Everything looks wonderful and I would have had to have lots of those bears everybody, especially Samantha, congratulations :hug: :clap: :clap: the pictures are great Jane and Shakespeares cottage brings back memories of the last time I was in Stratford several years ago I went in and had a look it was terrific. I'll have to time a visit to coincide with the show me thinks.

Looks like it was a great success for all!! WTG!!
/bearhugs,
Well here are a few pictures of my stand..and a few of the bears..I am afraid I was very naughty and didn't go round snapping anyone elses stand..but Jane is the official roving reporter so not wanting to tread on her shoes. I did do a picture of my stand before the mayhem of the first 15 minutes when it got practically emptied of bears.
I didn't get a picture of my winning (Summer) challenge bear..(DUH!) but there is a snapshot of her on my blog.
Thank you for all of the wonderful photos. What an amazing array of talent. The stands all look wonderful. Nice job all! :clap:
Wow, what a great show, congratulations Samantha :clap: :clap: :clap: and thanks to all for sharing all the wonderful piccies with the rest of us.
Wish Australia wasn't so far away
Dear Jane

Jenny, thanks for posting the pictures of your bears. As you know by the time I got to taking pictures of your table, all but two bears had sold. It's great to see what had been on offer.
Hugs, Jane.
WOW I think I will have to plan a trip to the UK in the future. Congratulations Samatha
