Tropical Doll Study Club Show Review 2013
It was a beautiful day and a good crowd that kept me busy Saturday. These polar bear took it easier than I did hehe.
I did have new designed French bulldogs for sale but never got to get a picture of them on the table.
You'll have to settle for this pic of them on my work table.
This special order grey wolf was also picked up before I could get a photo.
There were some good antique bears but I liked the Steiff birds.
Lucy Metcalf had these beauties. E mail me if you need more info on these. Her company name is Lucy's Bear-red Treasure. She has older Steiff, old toys, mechanicals etc.
The theme was, The Enchanted Forest, so this piece was The Pretend Wolf & Red.
Bits and Buzz found a new home and were very happy!
Next years theme is Here Comes The Bride. Already planning. Hope to see you next year!

Tampa Bear Show review2013
Went down to Tampa on Saturday for Sundays bear show.
Of course I had to play! Went to flea market and to Madeira Beach where we had dinner on the wharf where these pelicans were hoping to get lucky hehe.
The show the next morning had people waiting outside the door eager to see what was inside.
My elephant got lots of attention which was nice.
This cutie,Rusty by artist Gail Griffiths, caught my attention. He's just full of spirit.
Martha Burch had these two steam punk pieces on her table and the one on the right was snapped up quickly!
While artist Nancy Dontigney had many of her Dog Patch Critters on hand I just love this guy, Kazoo.
My new 8" size bear.
Hope you enjoyed your small view into the show. Maybe you'll be able to be there next year.

Renningers Extravaganza
Yep, it's that time again! Mt. Dora is open to collectors as Renningers has its February Extravaganza this weekend, the 15th,16th & 17th.
Found yet another Three Bears book. Got there early, great parking. But some vendors forgot to put up their signs and I had to really look for my favorites lol!
Turns out finding them didn't always help either as they had sold whole lots of the very thing I needed. Steam punk findings are so popular and you can't get the old watch pieces anymore so it gets snatched up quickly.
I got good pieces in November, couldn't cover the whole show in January ( my bad luck as the vendor had a run on his stuff) and this month this is all I could find!
Boo hoo! Will not let this happen again! Oh well, onward.
Did find something I needed,
You will see this at a future show :) there are watch pieces in there along with a silver purse handle. Ah, still have some good fortune hehe.
These are wood buttons and will be showing up on new pieces in the works.
Will post pictures soon of the new piece created with the teaser from last months finds!
Good hunting and get to Mt. Dora if you can, Renningers had plenty of people going home happy and the weather was beautiful!

Renningers Antique Extravaganza
I met myself today in Mt. Dora! Was enjoying the antique extravaganza when I saw this in a dealers stand:
It's a bear I made in 1995! It's former owner, who had over 100,000 bears, had to downsize when she moved to a smaller place. She had been in 7,000 square feet before with four rooms dedicated to her bears!
These were from her collection too.
It was cold and windy but still a great day to look for treasures. And everybody else thought so too! Such a large turnout and I didn't even see the whole thing this time. There was so much to cover.
But I did find some good things.
Wait till you see what characters these will be a part of. And the ones below are purposely turned away from you, they are from the forties and wait till you see the front! Hehe in a future post, I promise.
Well that's all for now, I've got plenty to keep me busy. I'll show you soon.
