Thank you to all the artists that participated in this weekend's online Doll & Teddy Bear show (www.tbai.org/dnbshow.html) Thank you also to all the tors that visited the show and purchased the wonderful creations.

I hope that you will all join me again for the Special Halloween Gallery show (Sept 25-28) and our semi annual show December 11-13.

Creating and collecting these wonderful works continues! However our cottage industry just lost one of the avenues of connecting the Teddy Bear with Teddy Bear Times and Friends unexpectedly ceasing publication. It is all that much more important to join mailing lists to keep informed! If you haven't already ~ consider joining our mailing list. You will hear of both physical and online shows that I am offering.

Sincere Hugs to all! Have a great Summer (or Winter if you are in the southern hemisphere!!) ~ CINDY
