More About The Bears (And Where They Popped Up Next)

Well, the first bit of great news is that after several days of phone calls and disappointments, Dawn's URSA Awards finally arrived. And the wait was well worth it. They really are very beautiful. More (plus photos) in the next post.

Meanwhile, another packet arrived at the same time - the Teddy Bears Of Witney Catalogue.

Dawn has been supplying limited edition bears to Teddy Bears of Witney for a good few years now, and every year the shop produces a stunning catalogue of that year's new stock - everything from Steiff and Merrythought to Artist Bears. This year, Dawn has been given a double page spread advertising the bears available from the shop. And what a wonderful photo it is -

Incidentally, if you've never visited Teddy Bears of Witney, you really should. If you're ever near Witney in Oxfordshire, the shop is located on the High Street and is well worth going out of your way to visit. The longest established bear shop in the UK, it is a treasure house of beautiful bears of all shapes and sizes. Artists and manufacturers from all around the world are represented, and there are hundreds of bears, rabbits, elephants and all manner of other creatures to choose from. The staff are the friendliest people you could hope to meet and you are certain to find plenty of bears catching your eye as you look around. You won't want to leave empty handed!
