Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

It was such fun to meet you in person, Joanne and Janice! I really enjoyed having lunch and ice cream with you and talking bears. I hope to visit the area again so you can show me some of the neat places...in the cooler weather. Your antique bear finds were darling, too.

Bear hugs to you!

LOVE William! 

What a sweet, sweet bear, Becky!  I love the combination of furs on Zorro's face.

Richard, you are so kind--thank you for your wonderful comments!  :redface: :hug: I'm glad to hear that you like the picture of me with Sebring. I completed him last year and found that I just couldn't bear to part with him, so now he is the Crew's studio manager.     (And I'll have to read this quietly so the remaining Crew members in the studio don't get big heads. Once they were to figure out what "classic" and "adorable" mean, I wouldn't hear the end of it! )

Thank you so much for sharing this, Peter! :hug: I am so touched and honored to be included in this lovely publication; many thanks to Andrea!

Everyone, thank you for your lovely comments. I am so thrilled and so very much appreciate your being happy for me and the Crew. :hug:  :hug:

(And if you want to know what the article says, perhaps Peter has a very reasonable translation fee.    I know what I told Andrea, so I get the gist of it, even in Geman. Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch. )

Thank you, vielen Dank...and hugs to you all!  :hug:

I need a LOVE button!  He's beautiful, Tammy!

I was afraid of that.   But I also found this, so perhaps this will help us out if it's similar:

And Edinburgh does have some, but on the very large spools (so I haven't bought any yet):

Thanks for that link, Sue Ann!

I checked Intercal's page, but 14 of the 25 colors are not available. I keep wondering what is happening. I LOVE Mastex and am hoping the company isn't ceasing production of its upholstery thread or something.

Joanne, thank you so very, very much for sharing these photos of the show! Gosh, I wish I had been there! I haven't been to a show since 2002. So glad to hear that your niece is now enamored of bears. They really are special, and to see all the lovely creative work on display--wow!

Awww, they're so cute together! I love their fur and their sweet faces.

I love this sweet little bear, Susana!   She has such an endearing expression, like she will be your very best friend.

Have a wonderful time, ladies!  :dance: It would be so great to meet you and your bears in person--wish I could! Thank you for taking pictures to share with us; I love pictures.

Aww! Vincent and Arthur will look so cute together! Peter, I'm sure I don't have to ask, really, but you'll show us pictures, right?   Arthur is a gorgeous bear, Becky, as is little Vincent.

Oh, they are so darling!   I love their colors and their "outfits"--the puffy pants are very cute.

Huge and hearty congratulations, Paula! I just love Lonesome--much deserved awards.  :dance:

Congratulations, Katherine!  :dance: I LOVE Just Chillin'!

I think I've said this before, Bry, but I LOVE this ellie sitting on pincushions.   Such a great idea!

Thank you, Becky and Isabelle!  :hug: A bear would be such a fun Mother's Day gift!

Thank you, Katy! I'm so glad you like them! :hug:

In the New Avenue Crew studio, we're having a Happy Easter Sale!   The available bears are 10% off and can be shipped worldwide for $10 each. There are four sweet Crew members looking for that special someone.   I hope you'll visit the Available Bears page to see them.

The bears in the photo above are springtime sisters Kalinka (the ivory bear)--she has been adopted!--and Malinka (the pink bear).

Oh, he's delightful!    I love his costuming and accessories, and his posture is great.

She's completely darling, Sue.   I love the direction you've been going with your designs. Beautiful alpaca, too!

Thank you so much, Becky, Sue Ann, Peter, and Katy! I'm so glad you enjoyed the article!

She has the sweetest face. I love her coloring, too.
