Bonne question...
Plein.
Jamais trop cependant.
26 cheeky bears from Merrythought (+ 4 ordered in my favourite retailer shop to arrive when the fourth as joined the others in the shop)
+ one very big bear from Merrythought (the one on the sofa)
+ a pyjama case bear from Merrythought
+ 4 other bears which are not collectors
+ my handmade bears (7)
+ the few bears still at my parents'home which are not collectors.

I have got a big Marsupilami my brother offered me (I love Marsupilami); but I left him at my parents'.

Oh, by the way, Fran, "plein" means "a lot" in French.

Beary hugs,

Judi- we have a collie (little miss naughty) and a collie mix. They are actually from the same mother. The mix came first. His litter was an accident. Then a year later we got the little brat. I can't cover up the hole with a bear because she would then eat the bear. Actually it's just filpped over right now until my new one arrives.

Fran- My fiancee makes a lot of mess (and me too  :redface:); he tells me not to worry about it and I say, OKAY!  :lol:
I like the new bear in your avatar. Beautiful!

clock1.jpgWOW!!!! :dance:This has been an amazing insight to what makes us all tick...Kathy, I love your creativity. Amazing job you have done. I would love to see more pics of your paint work.  :pray:
FRAN, that lighthouse is wonderful. When I go to the craft fairs I always seek out the miniture worlds. I have always promised myself that one day" I will give me one of them" bear_grin When I lived in Paddington in Sydney, There was a dolls house shop in one of the little streets off of the main drag. I would go out of my way to just gaze in the window. There's just something old world and innocent about them. Quite charming.
Sand, that avatar bear of yours is to die for. Is it completely crocheted or is it fur with crocheted feet?  It is adorable. :love:
Now Sophie, does your partner only collect antique clocks? or does he branch out in his collecting? I have a friend that collects clocks and the chimes are free to do their thing.
I bought a 'Margaret Bennet' clock last year, and love it so much I plan to add to it.

I love the yellow dog. Real far out he is. bear_grin bear_grin
Here is a pic of the margaret Bennet clock I bought. It has a moving pendulum but doesnt chime.

Irene!  Your house is so lovely!  I adore the colors you've used, and all that detailing, and the personality.  Your antiques are to die for.  And look at that gorgeous mountain behind your home!  I'm absolutely in awe.  The lines of the staircase alone have me breathless.  Can you tell I love your house?  Wow.  Just spectacular.

You will be a stop on my itinerary next time I'm in Europe.  Hope that's okay with you. bear_original

Irène, I love your house too! so colourful! It looks like you have transformed your chimney in a teddy bear sanctuary...  :)
Is pink your favourite colour?
I think that my sweatheart and myself should end up visiting you someday...

Matilda, your clock is great! Malko is collecting only antique mechanical clocks. He repares them too (the ones he has bought and sometimes some friends' ones too).

Oh, by the way, whoever happens to come to France will always be welcome home, eventhough we have a pocket flat!!!  :lol:

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Yes, i am far. I am living in the periphery of Le Mans. Not exactly in the same part of France...  :(
In addition, neither Malko nor myself has some friends or relatives in Savoie. But I love that part of France.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Oh, Marion is sometimes a bit clother to you, as she often goes to Evian, but a few hundreds km more in the north, I guess...

Beary hugs,
Sophie.
