Moving this along

Wrote Etsy to see about closing the current shop and reopening. Have bears now to sell.

Hopefully by the end of the month, I will have a STOCKED online teddy bear store.

Teddy Bear Quote for 8-22-10

A bear remains a bear –even when most of him has fallen off or worn away.

–Charlotte Gray

Have opened two accounts to be a wholesaler for some products that are bear-related. An online store? Sell through this blog?

There was a time when I wanted to open a teddy bear gift shop and I bought all kinds of bear merchandise. Had an acct with a teddy bear magazine and with the stuffed toy manufacturer Russ Berrie, and I was talking to some teddy bears artists about carrying their bears.

I never was able to find a place so I gave up the idea. Incorporated a lot of the merchandise into my personal bear collection, sold some things, gave some away.

I really need to decide what I want to do with this business. Make/set some boundaries and stick to them so I don't get all carried away.

Teddy quote for 8-18-10

Age simply doesn't enter into it! The older the friend, the more he is valued, particularly when he shows so visibly the characteristics that we all look for in friends. You have only to look at a genuine teddy's face to see at once the loyalty, common sense, and above all, dependability behind it.

--Peter Bull

bears bears bears and more bears

been sewing like crazy. Several I want to keep but alas, I am running a business here and so they are for sale.

Photos to follow but this time I will use a camera and not a camera phone. Makes a difference, I'm sure.
