We blinked...........and it's been a year already!!

[Chris Russell]

If you're anything like us you are still trying to recover from Hugglets; no sleep, long distance driving, heavy lifting, long time standing, dehydration, starvation............great fun, lovely to meet our customers face to face again and see bears that were once only flat packed items on our shelves - makes it all worth while.

Did you know that Teddy Bear Fair is now a year old?......... and we almost missed it!

We've come a long way in twelve months; the site looks great and is a great friend of search engines. We have exceeded our expectations in almost every respect and with the recent launch of Teddy Bear Collector.com we have now opened our doors to the ultimate visitors.

They said it couldn't be done - but we ignored them and did it anyway.

So thank you very much for sharing the vision with us and for your support over the last year. This is, without doubt, the No.1 Teddy Bear website in the UK - it's content is second to none as it covers every aspect of our craft and the people involved in it from hobbyists to world-class artists.

Here's to the next twelve months! It can only get bigger and better.

Best wishes

Judi & Chris

Yes Judi and Chris, I agree with everything you say. Teddy Bear Fair is an absolute MUST for everyone who adores bears whether as an experienced artist, a total beginner seeking help, or an avid arctophile. I know I have learned a lot during these past twelve months and I hope I have contributed in some small way to help others. I know that Mij, my Shetland pony kindly donated some of her silky mane to be turned into whiskers.
Here's to the next twelve months!

Happy Birthday :6018: from me too and I am looking forward to the next 12 months - and yes, it is was a little quiet lately, but I do think it is due to fairs and the summer season, but as the summer has left us now, that should get all of us back to the computer and bearmaking! :6013:
