Seasons Greetings

Hi everyone,

We have been busy since the show regrouping and getting ready for the last push before Christmas.  Have you done all your Christmas shopping yet?  We certainly haven't. 

We love this time of year, getting ready to spend time with the special people in your life, and of course including those that may not be as fortunate.  It will soon be time to get the tree and decorate it.  That is always so much fun.  Do you have a theme for dressing your tree?

I have just been busy sorting out our photos so I could make a new Christmas coverpage for Facebook.  Here is the finished article.  What do you think?

Also we have decided to offer a special Christmas deal to our loyal followers.   
Buy 5 mohair Xmas Teds (the fifth member of the set is Pink) who come with their hat and scarf and a Xmas Sack for $US120 including packaging and postage anywhere in the world.

Looking forward to being back with you soon

Paris

Hi everyone,  Its been a bit hectic with all the travelling.  I have met up with my friends and have attended the Paris Bear Show.  Had a great time there and I have lots of photos to share.  I just have to sort myself out.

I then travelled back to New Zealand via Auckland where I met up with Noeline so we could attend the Auckland Doll and Bear Show. 

Check out this great department store we went into in Paris.

I will be back again soon with more of my adventures while away.

Hugs Tracey & Noeline

Catching up

Hi everyone,  Tracey has been having a wonderful time catching up with friends this week.  She has been to see Wendy and Megan Chamberlain of Essential Bears who let Ned the Ted have a look around their displays. 

Look at this lovely display.  I have to tell you I wish I had a place for some of those lovely items.

Which one is your favourite?

Catch up with you again soon

Hugglets Display

Hi everyone, This post is a bit early but I thought you would be wondering how Hugglets went.  Tracey advises she had a great show with several bears being adopted and off to lovely new homes and also catching up with other artists and friends

Its always a lot of work getting ready for a show which I am sure you will appreciate and you want them to all look their best on the day.  Here is what the stand looked like.  There were two parts to the stand, the artist bears and the new release of Ned the Ted bears. 

Don't forget if you want to be in the draw to win a Ned the Ted you need to have subscribed to our Little Bear Company newsletter by 30 September. After that date we will have a lucky draw for one subcriber.  The link to subscribe is on the sidebar.

It's now all about getting ready for the show in Paris this weekend, so will report back on that trip next week.

Hugglets

Tracey attended Hugglets yesterday, a great and famous Bear show held on London. It was a really busy day, several bears were adopted to new homes, and a great opportunity to catch up with other international bear artists.  I will share photos from the show later in the week.

What I do want to share with you is our new release. Ned the Ted's relatives. They were released at Hugglets and are now off to Paris. They will be available to everyone once Tracey gets back to NZ.  I am sure you will agree they are very cute.

Which one is your favourite?

 

Catch up with you again soon

I promised

Hello again,  as promised I will share a few more of the bears that Tracey has taken with her to London.  I am sure you will agree she has done a great job.

These are a few of my favourites.  The first ones I call "My Three Sons".  It took me back to a TV series I used to watch when I was young! Now thats giving away my age isn't it?

And what about this one... I think its a real cutie!

It sounds like Ned the Ted has been really busy now that he is in London.  Don't forget to share his adventures with the little people in your life.
