OOOOH! WE'RE ON YOU TUBE!

Yes, we've made it to You Tube, featured - along with most of the other exhibitors - in a slide presentation of the Gold Coast International Teddy Bear Fair, compiled by Andama Galleries, who visited us last weekend. If you'd like to see the pictures, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZTx1592WfI

WE'RE HOME FROM THE TEDDY BEAR FAIR

We're home already - where did the time go?

I had planned to do regular posts while we were preparing for the Gold Coast International Teddy Bear Fair, and a blow by blow description of the fair itself. I hadn't counted on the vagaries of internet connections in a foreign land (I'm a South Aussie) or how much we had to do to get ready.

Martin worked wonders in building new display stands and shelving, with lighting also, all of which had to fit in our suitcases with the bears, and I did my best to make a new banner and curtains.

When we finally got to the Fair venue the size of it was rather overwhelming, but we had fun setting up.





A few last minute touches

There were other lovely crafts were on display, too, along with the wonderful providers of craft supplies, without which we would have no means of creating what we dream about.

We're ready!

PREPARING FOR THE GOLD COAST INTERNATIONAL TEDDY BEAR FAIR

There's frantic activity in our household, as we prepare for the GOLD COAST INTERNATIONAL TEDDY BEAR FAIR, which will be held at Broadbeach in Queensland on the 11-12th June. I will be trading there for the first time, and my critters are so excited as they receive their final touches and ready themselves for the big plane trip.

Pictured here are some of them, and you can see the anticipation in their faces, can't you?

I look forward to sharing more about the show as it draws nearer, but in the meantime picture us in the somewhat disorganised chaos which is our home at present.
