An URSA for Reese!

I am pleased to announce that Reese received a third place award in the Tenth Annual 2015 URSA Awards Competition sponsored by Bears and Buds online magazine.

It is always exciting to be a part of the URSA Awards and to share my work with others. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in this year's competition and for your continued support. To view all the winners please have a look here.

A Successful Show

My first online show of 2015 was a great success and I am very pleased that my bears all quickly found new homes.

Mikayla is making her home in PA.

Reese is making her home in IL.

Kota is making his home in TN.

Thank you to all those who visited the show and stopped by my showroom to see my new collection of bears created exclusively for the show. Also, many thanks to the collectors who chose to bring my work home.

A TOBY for Gabrielle

I am delighted to announce that my bear "Gabrielle" has won a TOBY Industry Choice Award in this year's competition. Wow!...I am absolutely thrilled!! It is such an honor to win this coveted award. What a great start for 2015.

As always, the TOBY Industry Choice winners become the nominees for the Public's Choice Awards. The ballot and online voting instructions will appear in the May issue of Teddy Bear & Friends magazine, available in March.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Many Thanks!

The "Beary Christmas Bazaar" Online Show was a great success and I would like to thank all those who visited the show and stopped by my showroom to see my new holiday additions.

Here are the photos of my show bears. I am delighted to report that they both very quickly found new homes.

Gabrielle will be making her home in MI.

I would especially like to send warm hugs and thanks to everyone who voted for my Gabrielle in the 'best of show' competition. I was honored to see that she received the third place ribbon. I am truly grateful!
