Dear all,

As you love pictures, i am going to post lots!
But there are so many I will post them in different threads.

So to sum up, I am reporting about the "Salon des Gueules de Miel" which was in Paris on Sunday 11th of June.
I had to be there between 8:30 am and 9:00 am to enter my bear into the Trophée.
I was still unable to choose which bear to enter between Cléo and Calimère until i saw the other bears in the Trophée.
I decided that Calimère would be the one as he had a brighter mohair colour and these amazing blue eyes; the people around when i arrived though like me. So we installed him as comfortable as possible on his stand.

Visitors could enter in the showroom from 9:30 am and the show closed at 6:00 pm.


To begin, I want to show you a pic of the 13 bears who entered the Trophée:

The bear who won is the one in the front, the most in the left.

Here is the one who was second:

There were quite a few nice bears!
There were more than 400 people who voted.

Some photographs were ther to take pics, so i guess some day I will get more pics, but I have no idea when.

I did not remember the name of the lady who was second, but the first was christine Bertaud.
She had a table at the show:

Aren't they cute?

This day was for me an important day as I met there Irène Pichard and Marion Klein.
Actually, i spent only a few minutes with Marion, unfortunately.
she arrived has planned, a little after 10:00 and I immediatly recognized her! Yeah! what i felt when I saw her cannot be described with words... she brought her turquoise bear and her wee Charlie with her. So for the first time in my life, I could hold Acid Attic bears in my hands! and beleive me, they are much beter for real! They are fantabulous!
We had a short chat and then I introduced Marion to Irène. then we chatted altogether for a moment then Marion went for a tour of the show while I went to Der Bar stand to buy some nice mohair pieces. Later on, i met again Marion and to my surprise she said she wanted to leave have she wanted to go to Le Louvre to see an exhibition. Arrrg! she was leaving already... Well, I let her go because there was something in her eyes letting me understand she was very excited about seing that exhibition.
Later on i realised I did not even had time to take a pic of her!!!!
So i will have to meet her again, definitely! And i hope we will have more time to spend together...

I met Irène and her hubby at the beginning at the show as they arrived early to finnish installing their stand. Irène is such a nice lady! Her hubby was a bit shy, though... but very nice too! I spent a lot of time with Irène and was so thrilled!
And my dear, her bears are amazing! For her too, her bears are much more beautiful for real... and I could hug them!

Here are some pics: the first one with Irène and Malko (I lost my brain and forgot to ask Malko to take a pic of Irène and I!). The next is me with the bear on Irène's avatar. This bear is amazing! To be honnest, i am happy no one bought him at the show, so she can enjoy him more longer and maybe keep him finally!
I added some pics of her bears.

I love her realistic bears. Collectors too as she sold some of them!
Oh and her lady bears with long neck are amazing too!

Well, I stop here for today, as it is bed time.

Next to come soon!

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

My favourite among all Irène's bears is her avatar bear. Doesn't he look great in my hands? See on the pic!
A chance no one bought him at the show, so I still have a chance to buy him! Why didn't I buy him???
