Today I received two TOBY awards for 2019 from Teddy Bear Times and Friends. The first is for Arthur and the second for the vignette of Panda Ling and Chow Ming Celebrate the year of the Dog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much to those who selected the Industry's Choice Winners and to Teddy Bear Times and Friends Magazine. I think you can vote for Public's Choice Winners at the Magazine's website.</div>

It was a great show thanks to Cindy Malchoff and her committee! Cindy was busy running things when I went around taking photos so sadly she is not included here. I think the collectors had a fine time as did we who participated!<br />

I've just sent the bottom photo to Cindy to include on the gallery page for TBAI this year. When photographing, I tried two backgrounds so I thought I'd add them both here. The sparklies look much better in person!! Hope you will be at the show to see this and all the other outstanding pieces!!</div>

I'm hoping to get some good photos of this little lady tomorrow and list her in my Etsy shop tomorrow evening. I just took a few quick shots on my worktable this evening. Isn't she a cutie!? I haven't thought of a name...hmmmm. I'm having some computer issues so hopefully all will go well. She stands 4 inches tall plus ears, has 5 cotter pin joints, stands nicely on her on, has wire in her arms and ears for gentle posing, and is just as cute as a button! Check back tomorrow, or, if you are signed up to get notification, I'll let you know when she's in the Etsy shop!</div>

Luna is a flower child wearing a headband of silk flowers and lovely matching ombre ribbon in shades of lavender. Her outfit, trimmed in the silk flowers at her wrists, is part of her body in that wonderful lavender color. Luna wears love beads of fire polished glass beads, swarovski crystals, and tiny seed beads. I've added crystals to flowers in her headband as well. Luna stands nicely by herself at just about 3 3/4 inches tall.<br />
Luna is my preview bear for the upcoming online show.

I so appreciate all who stopped by to chat and those who adopted my Little Ones! I enjoy beading and have incorporated using tiny seed beads and Swarovski crystals in many of the outfits. Santa, especially, has quite a collection of crystals - he's quite a sparkler!<br />
All of these bears have been adopted but I hope to get others done and in my Etsy shop before Christmas!<br />
Thanks again my Friends and special thanks to Donna Neilson - Teddy Bear Maker and Promoter of the Show!</td></tr>

I'm looking forward to seeing lots of friends and making some new ones at the Teddy Bear show in Hunt Valley, Maryland, on Sunday, November 12 !<br />
I'll try to get some photos taken before we leave and post them here. I can't sell them ahead of the show but hope they will all find new homes at the show on Sunday!<br />
