The online show at the weekend was an outstanding success for me, with a sellout! Thankyou Sandi Smith
http://www.bearlysaneteddies.com for all your tireless efforts in creating the site and congratulations on how smoothly everything ran. You really do amaze me with what you do and I am extremely grateful to you for your commitment to us all. This amazing woman is already planning the next event, Be My Valentine, which will also have a special collection of bears available for Bobo, TBACA's sponsored sun bear. All these bears and critters will be donated by the artists and all the funds raised go towards the wonderful work of Free The Bears,
http://www.freethebears.org.au/, for their bear sanctuary in Cambodia. All the bears at the sanctuary have been rescued from intolerable lives, some as "pets" but most as unwilling prisoners in bile farms, none of these bears can be returned to the wild so they live out their lives at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre. You can read more about all this on the Free The Bears website.
It's full steam ahead for Hugglets now, just three sleeps till I fly out! I have a small but very nice collection of bears to take with me. I'm hoping I might even see some sunshine while I'm away because we certainly haven't been getting any in Tasmania! The English countryside should be looking very pretty in all it's golden Autumn glory, I might even get the chance to do a little berrying in the hedgerows near my brother-in-law's house in Somerset.
Here are the bears I had on offer over the wee
kend, they have all found new homes here in
Australia.

OMG Linda...I just dropped by to congratulate your terrific sellout and now I am all red faced...blush, blush.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do as well at Hugglets. Are you taking a laptop with you?
Warmest Hugs,
Sandi
I won't be taking my laptop, I find it very cumbersome when travelling in my own. I have an ipod which will connect to wifi so I may be able to keep in touch at times. It might do me good to be away from the poota for a while, I'll probably get terrible withdrawals though :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I mean every word Sandi, you are such a gem :) Have fun with the girls at woodend!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - Your bears were great as always. Well done on the sell out . It must be agood feeling. Hope your trip is wonderful.
