Hi,

I just came across two bears on Ebay with hangtags that state 'The Honey Pot' and the listings say they are made by 'Paula Carter' ... I haven't come across another Paula Carter bear maker in all the years I have been making bears, so am curious to know if anyone else has heard of them?

That's odd. A quick search led me to Honey Pot Bears by Amanda Ferguson as well as to you (You're both listed at Bear Artists Worldwide).

I suppose there might be another Paula Carter making bears... Were the bears good ones, at least?

Have you contacted the seller to be sure they have the listing correct? Is the seller the artist too? Yes, Amanda is Honey Pot Bears so it seems like perhaps there might be an error in the listing. I mean what are the chances of someone having your name and Amanda's busines name? Hmmm...

It's a coincidence isn't it?! I know Amanda's Honeypot bears and so I don't think it's anything to do with those ... I just noticed a 'The Honey Pot' tag in the photos and as the artist is listed as Paula Carter it tweaked my interest because I haven't ever come across another Paula Carter who makes and sells bears.

Interesting indeed!
It sure would be fun to find this other Paula Carter!

Update:

I have now received a response from the seller of these two little bears. She says she bought them on the Isle of Wight and was told they were made by Paula Carter of www.allbear.co.uk and if I put in a quick search on the internet I can find out all about Paula's successes!

Well, of course the bears weren't made by me, so I have asked the seller to remove my name from her Ebay listings to avoid misleading collectors.
