The Teddies Spring Show in Timoium, Maryland was held yesterday, March 28, 2009.
It was an intimate show with about 28 artists. There was a steady flow of collectors during the morning hours. Many commented they were on a budget and looking for one special bear to adopt, making many rounds before chosing one! A few walked out with multiple bags of new bears to add to their hugs. I enjoyed catching up with many of my collectors in that area and seeing so many artists I've come to know over the years.

Here are some photos I took...

Hi Daphne, bear_flower

Thank you for sharing your photos with us, they are lovely.  It is so nice to see the stands so clearly as they are not all up against each
other but have plenty of space around.  There were plenty of nice bears there and I'm sure you had a good time!

Take care!

Hugs

Daphne was very diligent getting photos and quick too!  Great job!  I took a few which can be seen on my blog http://bearbits.blogspot.com/ but Daphne's photos really do a better job of showing the variety of bears and artists there.  It's a fun show to do if you're considering it for next year!

Ginger, your photos are wonderful.... they give a good feel for the setting of the show and your camera settings were correct... unlike mine!  :doh:
