Hehe, I get the feeling you are going to be a bad influence on me!
Candy is sooo excited she keeps jumping into her box ready to go :crackup:
Gemma I am green with envy, she is just adorable Wendi makes such gorgeous bears
You will have to take a piccie when they are all together and keep us updated, its so nice to hear from a collector like you, it spurs you on to make more and better bears

I keep looking at her on your website, I love that it says reserved on her picture and that she's reserved for me!
Hi Gemma
Great choice of bear, she has such a naughty smile. My obsession started this week too with a Studio 44 bear, I just had to have him, couldn't help it! It was so exciting when he arrived, and yes I make bears but I'm not going to make a bear like him, because I'm not Studio 44. I'm desperately waiting now for the next bear fair because I've broken it gently to my husband (read this as had a tantrum!) that I can collect as well as make. He has no problems with me buying mohair...I'm just buying it made up! So no, your not greedy just appreciative of art!
Andrea
Good for you! Can you post us a pic of your new bear?
Gemma I know how much bears mean to me. I just love hearing from my collectors and the exciitement when their Bumpkin Bear arrives, and most of all how much happiness and comfort they bring to them. I always feel that bears are to be loved and hugged and my bears agree full heartedly You made a wonderful choice with your ted from Wendi, I'm sure we all look forward to pictures of yours and everyone's collections. The more bears the merrier I say, you can never have enough friends and bears make the most faithful friends you could ask for. So certainly not greedy Gemma.
Beary Hugs, :hug:

I started collecting also but can only collect a few. Some of the ones I would love to own but can't afford them , but I still look and wish . I am saving up for one of our TT"s bears. I don't look at as an investment. If I like it and can afford it then I will buy it. Gemma you are not greedy.
Gemma, You asked about seeing others' collections and I found this old post topic from a couple years ago where a lot of us posted photos of our collections:

Might be time to do this topic again as there are a lot of new people on TT since then!
By the way, I don't think you're any more obsessed than the rest of us are!
Gemma,
You asked to see a pic of my bear and here he is. Thanks to Sam who took the photos of Stratford Bear Fair, I hope she doesn't mind me pinching this one to show you...I used it to stalk him. he is the very smiley fluffy traditional guy in the middle. How could I resist him! I'm still chuffed to bits and currently coveting about two more.

Thanks Edie for the link, you're right we do need that thread again, it's fun to read.
Thanks for the pic Andrea, that is a cute bear, what's he called? Is he cuddly? When you get more bears you'll have to post them for me!!
Edie thanks for sharing that photo, your bear has the most lovely smiley face, no wonder you couldn't resist him
Hugs,
