Eti - our first-prize winning bear, NTBAA 2011


News

12th June 2011 We are really on a roll this year! Having entered the Stratford-upon-Avon competition for a bear 'Feeling Blue', we walked off with second prize. We are really going to need a new display cabinet soon!
23rd May 2011 It was well worth us doing the National Teddy Bear Artist Awards this year. The awards were presented by Bunny Campione of the Antiques Road Show. We won first prize in the 8" to 10" bear class, third prize in the Naturalistic Bear class, and third prize in the Bear Friend class with our Ring Tailed Lemur.
1st March 2011 Hugglets was fabulous as always, and we had a great time. It's always nice to catch up with old friends, some from the Continent, and one all the way from Norway. Fantastic!

Forthcoming events

14th - 15th April 2012 Teddybear Total 2012.
This well-organized show is probably the biggest teddy bear fair in the world. See the Teddybear Total website. We have done this fair once before, and we had a good time because Munster, Germany where it is held is a fascinating town.

26th February 2012 Winter Bearfest 2012.
Organized by Hugglets, and as always held in Kensington Town Hall, we will be in our usual place on the Ground Floor, facing the main entrance. We know you shouldn't have favourites, but...!

Trevor Jenner's fantastic bear jewellery will be available again on our stand. See our Links page for more details about Trevor.
11th September Teddies 2011.
We can't help it - this has to be our favourite show, not least because we can get to Kensington in about an hour and a half. Organized by Hugglets, and as always held in Kensington Town Hall, we will be in our usual place on the Ground Floor, facing the main entrance. Can't wait!

Trevor Jenner's fantastic bear jewellery will be on our stand as usual. See our Links page for more details about Trevor.
20th - 21st August Bruges International Doll and Teddy Bear Fair.
The fair is housed in a beautiful historic building, providing a feast for your imagination; The Belfry tower (Belfort) at Markt 7 - 8000 Bruges, Belgium. It's the 25th anniversary for this two-day fair which is organized by Niesje Wolters van Bemmel. This is a new fair in our calendar and we can't wait to meet new friends, as well as catching up with some of our long-established English friends, like Barbara-Ann Bears who have booked a stand near ours.
17th July Essex Artist Bear Fair.
Held at Elphwood Scout Hall, Waltham Abbey EN9 1RB, this is another fair that we enjoy, not least because there's a good cafe for breakfast just around the corner.
26th June Cornwall Summer Bear Fair.
Another nice venue (Lostwithiel Community Centre PL22 0HE) with beautiful surroundings. We have been attending this Fair since it started and wouldn't miss it for the world..

Having said that, we find that we are unable to attend for family reasons; such a pity...
27th February Teddies 2011.
Organized by Hugglets, and as always held in Kensington Town Hall, we were in our usual place on the Ground Floor, facing the main entrance. A great time was had by all!

Trevor Jenner's fantastic bear jewellery was on our stand. See our Links page for more details about Trevor.

All of the bears you find on these pages are lovingly made by hand from high quality materials. They are made from mohair or alpaca unless stated otherwise, with fully-jointed limbs and they have glass or onyx eyes.

Because these bears are collectors' bears, they are not suitable for children under 6 years old. Older children should be supervised.
