Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Sue Ann, you got me thinking, I have made some of my photos into key saver boards, here are some examples but they havent got the hooks on yet. The one of the puppy will have one hook for a lead and one for keys, it's is a gift for the puppys owner. A very kind lady who helps organize our charity fairs.

I have just been wathcing BBC news while I cut  out a mini bear. I understand the elle's are not allowed to lay down in the goal or stand on the ball. I was told that they love to cheat and if the player misses the ball his elle will hit it with his trunk.  take a look

I have had several of these fake nigerian orders they have evn managed to find my private e-mail address that I dont post and only give out to friends. There have been warnings on British T V allerting people to them, they offer to buy something not only Teddies, make some excuse about having to send substantialy more than the asking price because of some currencey thing and ask you to send a refund of the difference.
There money then doesent come through and you are out of pocket. They are sending mail now just using a mans name and you dont see the Nigeria bit straight off.
PLEASE DO NOT BE COUGHT OUT BY E_MAILS  FROM NIGERIA

I remember back in the fiftys my mum never wrapped the silver theepenny bits she used to boil them first then just thr
through them into the mixture, we all had a stir and made a wish.
I can smell the spices now  ;)

yes if you are lucky to find a good shop or gallery it works well. I was stunned to see what people were prepaired to pay for bears I was quite insecure about. I get a check on the tenth of each month when I take my latest creations along to show. I am still sure they will be rejected every time, that doesnt get easier. :redface:  I hope you find a good honest shop  :dance:THE VERY BEST OF LUCK   

thanks thought I'd have something new for Christmas  :dance:

I would be over the moon had i made her she is georges  :clap:  :clap:

The original Gallery in Hampshire I used to supply took 30%
one i supply now takes 20%
the other gives me my asking price and then adds her own mark up and that is 60% =17.5% tax =77.5% but they sell and we are both happy.

if you cant see all the pic, you can right click on it and save to your computer and look in you pictures file, then you will see the stained glass window of St Marys church.
I love the Idea of you all invading the E U on a mohair hunt there is a mohair  factory just about 15 miles from me I better warn them!!

I am just going to copy all your lists and send to Santa as I read down them I kepy findig myself say Oh I'd like that ,and that,Oh and that so I ma going to be greedy and ask for it all with one addition endless amounts of time to enjoy it all.
But if I could have one personal thing,
it would be to have my Mr Golly and Mrs Polly wog back or at least know where they ended up aftter my parents gave them away.

this has nothing to do wiyh children bet I took this Photo as I passed by the other mornig . HOW does one apply within
 

I sell at a craft studio
I Quote my price she adds her mark up ( about 75%) and sells at that price I call in on the tenth of each month and collect my check and deliver more bears. I have a similar arrangement with a tourist information centre, I have never had a problem, but both are reasonably close to me so all transactions are made in person. I think I would be nervous of sending bears to shops I did not Know personally.

Oh I wish I cuold climb through the internet and hug you, we all live in teddy and doll world where all colours are wonderful I have made red bears green bears pink , blue gold , blond ,brown and black bears and love them all. I am so happy that what my hubby calls teddyaddiction has helped you cope, you can tell a teddy anything they are allways ready to listen.  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I am ashamed of posting my poor minis on here now that is amazing! How did you do those tiny toes  I shall strive to get as good as you  :redface: :hug:

I stood the painting which is 34" wide on a table and laid fabric in font and clicked away,
