Have a great show and a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

Cullen is looking for his new forever home... he is beautifully plump and offers a nice weighty hug. His little personality packs a big punch full of love!

This FRIDAY is the first bear show for Seraphim Bears this holiday season...

Holidays season starts for me in the Fall as I love Halloween!

This Friday I will be participating in the Bear Hugs 4 U online show. You can find your link here or in my sidebar.

Better Late Then Never!

It's Official... Seraphim Bear will be exhibiting in both Bear Hugs 4 U OctoBEARfest teddy bear online show and Teddies Worldwide online show. One in October and one in November! I have got some work to do!

I was up working last night until 11:00pm and the bear bag will be travelling with me to work each and every day just in case I get a moment to work on creations for the up and coming shows. Getting asked to be a part of the shows late has its challenges but I love the pressure and this is when I really put the grease to the wheels and get some artistic stuff done!

Last night this little gal was adopted. Thank you and please meet Daisy!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Drum Roll Please... and the new name is:

Just wanted to share with you the new name for the Seraphim Bears ~ "Dolly Bears"...

If you missed the previous post please see below. Although Dolly Bear is a sweet name we do not want to cause any confusion as to who is who. So we have decided that although my Dolly Bears are spelt differently this is not enough of a distinction between my creations and another artists so, we have taken the path to change our name.

Actually in the end... we are happier with the new name... it encorporates the bear "hug" and think it suits both our original hang tags and the dolly bears themselves...

Drum roll please...

Welcome the Huggy Babies ~

A rose by any other name...

Hi Everyone

I have arrived back home safely and now it is time to get to work on some new bears for the Teddies Worldwide online Christmas show. I almost sold out of my bears this show and only have a few left but will be posting them up onto Bear Pile in the next few days.

While at the show, I was approached by another artist who informed me of the fact that she has PATENTED the name "Dollie Bear". I do not spell my name this way nor am I from the USA where the patent exists however, after consult with my husband we will be changing the name to something far more interesting and fun. Although the names are not spelled the same, we do not wish to have any confusion in association with this artists bears...
so this is simply a heads up that Seraphim Bears name for our new edition to our line will soon be changing. I'll keep it as a surprise... it is a fabulously fun name and I think you will all enjoy it.

There were only a couple of us at this show making this style of bear and I do not wish anyone to be confused so the artist that I am referring to has the initials L.C.

Thanks so much for your understanding in this sudden change of name.

And as to the new style of doll bear I am referring... they simply flew off the table and we are so thrilled that you all love them as much as we do! I cannot wait to share more of them with you!

Big Hugs

Almost Show Time

With the help of Cindy Malchoff (our show coordinator and fellow artist) it has now been finalized that Mum and I will not have to move to a different hotel! So happy to hear this for Mum! I am sorry to hear that this comes at the price of one of our guests having to cancel their trip to the show.

We are looking forward to our trip and have had a full car tune up which is a good thing too as there were some issues. Passports are in order, suitcase is packed and Mum will be here in just one and a half days!

I am excited to meet everyone and see all my old friends at the show and so sad that I will miss my friend Cheryl Hutchinson from Bingle Bears who has prior commitments this year with family. We have still not seen each other in person since our bear exchange and I still want to give her a hug! Ahhh well... maybe next year or possibly the year after!

Hay, did I mention that I am now going to be in the Teddies Worldwide Christmas online show? How fab! I love that show! It will be the next show I am beginning to work on when I arrive back from Binghamton!

Well... I guess that is all the news for now... I will have my camera with me and hope to take lots and lots of wonderful photos in Binghamton and will be posting them here upon my return so be sure to check back soon!

Hotel for Binghamton TBAI Show... Oh Oh?

So tell me... when the director of sales from a hotel that you have had booked for 6 months contacts you personally 2 weekends before your arrival and 1 week after you have called to confirm your reservations calls you and leaves a message for you to contact them personally within two days... this can't be good right?
