OctoBear Faire - Oct 2005

Although I have been creating teddy bears from my own patterns and selling them since 2000 - and full time since 2002 (THANK you to all of you collector friends who have made this possible!) I had a table at a bear show for the first time in October of 2005.

This was not just "any" bear show... but the Schaumburg, IL ABC OctoBear Faire!

It was SO much fun to meet so many collector friends in person!!

See one of my Bunnies in Teddy Bear Review! August 2005

A couple of months ago, an incredible bear artist - Christine Pike - asked for photo samples of hand dyed bears. I sent her photos of "Bunny" and she IS featured in the article!
It's the October 2005 issue and it's on page 62.
