Hi everyone
I just looked through my Favourties folder for "Teddy bear and doll stuff" and counted 67 sites!  This has accumulated in less than 6months! What an addiction. bear_wacko  And today I also received a new book that I'd bought on eBay "Miniature Teddy Bear Collection" by Julie Owen which takes my total  to three books and my Teddy bear magazine subscription keeps rolling in.  I think I'll have to put an extension on the house.

Hi Janet

You will love Julie Owen's book - I am also a Julie Owen "groupie" having been to about 5 of her courses.

She is the sweetest kindest teacher ever.

Going to one of her courses next year, she teaches at Missenden Abbey, Buckinghamshire.

Hi Janet,

This made me curious, so I counted how many "teddy bear"-sites I have in my favourites : 161  bear_wacko   You said it: "What an addiction"  bear_grin

Hugs,  :hug:

Ok here are a few of mine :

http://teddy-bear-artist.webs.com  : Lanie and Darren's new site is proving to be very popular (I just hope the dolls won't take over  bear_whistle )

http://www.bearpile.com : everyday new bears and all sorts of bears (classic, modern, vintage-style, weird, ...), but very tempting !  :crackup:

http://www.bearsonlocation.co.uk/index.html : Dale Reardon's magnificent photos of his bears in the Cornish landscape; I could watch them for hours!  bear_thumb

http://www.hugglets.co.uk/index.php : Hugh and Irene Jackman do a wonderful job : organizing Hugglets; compiling a database of all bear makers and bear businesses; just amazing  bear_thumb

http://www.abracadabra-teddies.com : I love the "orphans" page of this bear shop.  bear_wub

http://www.steiff.de : no comment 

http://www.travellingbears.dk/bears/default.php : Danish bears travel around the world.

http://www.barlingbears.co.uk/index.html : one of my first teddy bear artist and still one of my all time favourites; I check this site at least twice a week to see if Marilyn has made any new bears ...  :)

http://www.hugsunlimited.co.uk/index.htm : just because I love these bears : an update of the site would not be a luxury, Dawn !   :crackup:

These are just a few of the many, many sites.  A lot of artists have great websites, but I really can't mention them all.   Sorry  :redface: .

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter - You have made me feel so ashamed - my website is in dire need of an overhaul. I am currently working on a whole new look for Hugs Unlimited. The purple will be gone, and there will be a new face of Hugs Unlimited - he is almost ready to make his debut into the world, and my new look table will be first shown at Hugglets.

I just really really wish that I could add another 10 hours to each day.

Please keep coming back though - one day will you be completely shocked to see that I have updated it!
