I am so excited. I just bought what i call an "investment bear" and thought I'd share his pics. 
He's going to be going eventually Martha Anderson for repair, but here's the before pictures. His name is Chester.
And then, of course, I had to go to Philadelphia for the Quinlan Teddy Bear show on Saturday since I'm only 1.5 hours away!!
So here are the two I adopted, one from Sharon Barron from (Matteo), made from an 100-year-old sleigh mohair blanket, and then Caramel from Allen Hsu of the Teddy Bear Barn.
It looks like they're all going to be great friends.

OH MY OH MY OH MY!!!! Wow, Sabine, what a TOTALLY GORGEOUS display. Love the little blueberries and that sweet hat on the little mouse thief. What amazing detail!!! Very cleverly done! How you make those teeny tiny little sweaters is mind-boggling! Love them! If it was up to me, I'd nominate you for a Golden George!
(Of course, Hilchen and her sheep have made me totally biased 
.....)
Well, here he is!!! I've named him Chase (after Becky who was so kind to send me some disks). Okay, I admit my sewing skills can be A LOT better, but his leg works perfectly fine, and I am so excited to see him put back together
