Hi there bear friends, just getting settled into Ireland. Just navigating myself around the net and getting used to cyberspace. Love to chat bears with everyone out there. I am a full time working bear artist and collector. I love Susan Tantlingers work, Pat Murphy and many other artists.......My passion is animals - I live surrounded by Geese, ducks ,chickens and rescued cats and dogs. Just recently entered into the world of Etsy....stop by and take a look..www.pbco.etsy.com...would love to have your feedback. All my Love, Amy xx

Hi Amy.
Welcome to Teddy-talk! It's a lot of fun and lots of shared info. I have admired your bears for a long, long time. I'm such fan of antique style teddies and I enjoy getting to know other artists.
Wow, Ireland! It's been a goal of mine since childhood, to make it there one day. What part of Ireland did you move to? Take care.

hugs,

Brenda

Hi again - it would have been at the 2004 show at the Ally Pally - quite a while back, and my first year of doing "proper" shows!
And while on the subject of shows to do - ever thought about coming over here? The Teddybaer Total, for instance?
You can read all about it on www.teddybaertotal.de and believe me, language ISN'T a problem (now you're going to tell me you speak perfect German.........I LIVE here, and my command of the language leaves a LOT to be desired!)
