Philadelphia Doll &Bear Show Review2011

This is the sign that welcomed all the conventioneers to the show. The Alice chess pieces are on display at the Sue Quinlan doll and bear museum. They were made by me. Had to get the picture, hehe!
The viewing for artists signature pieces was wonderful.


This piece by Lori Simon, Friends , was a winner in judging.


Another winner, this is The Collector by artist Karen O'Brien.


Doll artist, Diane Keeler was another winner with Queen Alice.
Other fun pieces are:


This is by England artist Katherine Hallam.


La Journey De la Photo is by artist Francisco Carreno Stewart, who hasn't done a show in a while.


This is Lyric by artist, Mary Esther Ward.


And Sweet Pea is by artist Pat Murphy.
So this is just part of the morning events. Afterward there were wonderful seminars to attend. And on Saturday there was the show. So this review is in two parts! It was just too big to do in one!

Doll & Teddy Bear Artist & Collector Convention

The Philly show as it's being called begins Thursday May 12th and runs to May 14th.


Saturday will be open to the public from 10 - 2pm. Conventioneers will be able to attend seminars by leading artists in the bear and doll industries.
Ted Menten will be in attendance. Beverly Port and Helen Bullard, leaders in bear and doll world respectively will be honored for being pioneers in their fields.
Artists have been blogging and posting on facebook sneak photos of some wonderful pieces that they will have at the show. There is a lot of buzz about this show. People are excited to attend.
Here is my sneak peek:


Garden Fairy Queen, my auction piece.
Hope you get to attend.

Happy Mothers Day

The best gift you can give a mother is to see her and realize that this is a person not just a mom. Most moms would do anything they could for their children and ask little in return. They appreciate respect, kindness and acknowledgement. So hug a mom even if she isn't yours, especially if her kids aren't around, so she will know someone sees her. Happy Mothers day to all moms here and gone...we love you, we thank you.

Happy Easter

Have a blessed holiday as we all have been blessed.


Think I'll have the lettuce!

Timonium bear show review

The show was good. Slow start but it picked up and collectors were buying. Here are some photos.


One of my new ducks.


One of Ginger Brames pieces.


Donna Nielsen's new open mouth bear.

There were lots of good pieces, you'd have to have been there. Hehe!

Well my surgery is tomorrow morning and I need some rest. They are going to try to find where the extra pvc's are coming from in my heart and stop them. So I may not post for a few days and if you are waiting on an order hopefully by the end of the month I'll be getting things out again. Please be patient while I go be a patient. Hehe.

See you soon!

Teddy spring show

Doing the bear show in Timonium that's on Saturday at the Holiday Inn Conference Center. Hope to see some of you there. Will try to get pictures posted of the pieces I was working on.
Time to fess up...still having health issues, wearing a life vest now for my heart. So I work a little slower but I still work. All is well even if I resemble a snail, hehe! See you at the show. :)
