STUFFING SHIFTED
along with many talented teddy bear artists.
Our stand was in the sculpture gallery near the Apollo statue
who had many admiring glances! (blush!)
We had a very enjoyable day chatting to collectors some of which we remember from way back.
We would like to say Thank you to everyone who came to our stand. Some told us they already had a bears of ours in their collection and how they much they still love owning them.

We did not preview our bears before the show as we thought this would not be fair
to collectors that had made a whole weekend of the event and travelled long distances.
You can find lots more pictures on face book of the whole event.
So here are some of the bears and characters that came with us
these are available now to our mailing list.
Please let me know by email if you wish to adopt any or need more details.
Thanks & Warmest Wishes Paula
