Pumpkin & Pickle Bears Feb 19, 2007

I am extra super-duper excited about Hugglets next Sunday because.......I'M GETTING A CHRISTINE PIKE BEAR!!!!!

I just can't believe I'm going to own one of her bears - she is my favourite Bear Artist! She's not taking very many bears to the show and I was lucky enough to be looking at her website when she was uploading the show preview (only coz she told me when she was going to do it!) so i was able to see the available bears straight away and make my decision on which one I was going to reserve!

The GORGEOUS bear in question is 'Jingles' the panda. He's the most I've ever spent on a bear and luckily I was given all but £20 of his adoption fee for my birthday!

Anyway, I'm sure you'd all love to see him so here's the link to her preview page.....it's Jingles the panda (although I had a very difficult decision deciding between him and Clement but Jingles soulful eyes won me over!)....... http://www.christinepike.com/index_files/preview.html

If you click on his picture there are more photos.

Wow, Gemma you lucky girl you! Jingles the panda is adorable. I'll try and catch up with you at Hugglets and take a peep at him, maybe, if you allow me to, take your picture with Jingles. Christine's creations are wonderful!

How exciting Gemma! I've just taken a look at the bearmarket page of Chris's website and they are gorgeous! It must have been very hard to choose which one to buy!

Wow! What a beautiful panda. I have a couple of Christine's bears in my collection, and they really are special.

I can't wait for next Sunday either!! I now have 38 of the 40 bears I aimed to make, so I can start getting excited. I just so love doing shows, and Hugglets is my favourite.

See you there!!! bear_thumb
