Anticipation & Garage Sale Finds

It's only a few more days til the Teddies Worldwide Tea Party show. Remember to go to the preview page here and vote for your favorite. The voting ends Thursday the 22nd and the show starts Friday the 23rd at 4pm est. The collectors choice award will be announced at the beginning of the show. Lots of wonderful Teddy Bears in their Tea Party finery to look at.

I purchased these guys at a garage sale a couple of Saturdays ago. The 3 critters in the front are Steiff. I listed them in my Nancy's Notions etsy shop. The cat sold the same day I listed it but the beaver and the mouse are still available.

Teddy Tea Party Preview

The preview has begun. There are many wonderful bears...all with a Tea Party theme.
Dolly is my preview bear. She is dressed for the party. You can vote on your favorite until March 22 and there will be a collector's choice awarded to the one that gets the most votes. The show starts March 23 at 4 pm est. I will have 6 bears in the show and there are almost 100 artists participating so there will be lots to look at it. Go to www.teddiesworldwide.com to vote.

Shows 2012

Just 5 weeks until the Tampa show. I really look forward to this one every year. It is the only all bear live show I take part in. I would definitely do more live shows if there were more within driving distance. When I lived more centrally along the east coast there were at least 6 a year close enough to drive to within a few hours. BUT....doing online shows has advantages. Number one, you reach a worldwide audience. So, I am delighted I will be participating in the Teddies Worldwide Spring Show!! The theme for this show is a Teddy Tea Party. Some of my ideas for this theme are already on paper. Time to get to work. Keep the dates open...March 23 - 25.
