Last peek before the big reveal

Today I'm showing you everything 

in the scene except for the critters.

 

The Beary Christmas Fair 

Online Show runs 

Dec 8th-9th 

but the VOTING for Show Favorite 

will begin tomorrow, Dec 1st.

Second peek

Here's today's photo of the grouping that will be available in the 

Beary Christmas Fair

Online Show

on Dec 8th-9th.

A ladder and a boot.  

Any guesses?

Let the teasing begin

As I've mentioned, I will be one of the many 

artists from all over the globe 

who will be participating in the 

Beary Christmas Fair 

Online Show 

Dec 8th-9th. 

Here's your first peek at one of my new items.

This boot is actually a purchased item that I am using 

as part of the grouping I am going to show you.

Check back tomorrow for your next peek.

Voting for 

Show Favorite 

will begin on 

Dec 1st 

when this entire ensemble will be revealed.

They do Christmas a little differently in Maine

We are full swing into one of my favorite times of the year.  

I just love Christmas!  

And Mr. Cobblestone and I are seeing a few 

things that are a wee bit different for us.  

From the local paper we learned that Santa 

arrived at different spots by tugboat, 

fire engines and even the Coast Guard.

And here's something we've never seen 

in a Christmas parade before!

But the most unusual sight for us 

has to be the lobster trap trees.

Really.

There are many of these springing up at private homes 

as well and I'll do my best to try and 

share them with you here.

Tomorrow I will start my progressive sneak peek 

at one of the items I will be offering in the 

Beary Christmas Fair.  

Stay tuned!

Did you know . . .

I hope this posts finds all of you deeply and happily into your holiday preparations.  I love this time of year with all the scurrying about decorating, baking, shopping, etc.  And this year I've got so much more to explore in my new hometown.  Shortly I will have pics of lobster trap trees and other Christmassy sights from Maine to share with you. But I wanted to take a moment to remind you about a few holidays details now.

First of all, the 

Who is Who in Bearmaking Bear Christmas Fair 

will begin 

Dec 8th at 10am eastern.  

The shows runs for a mere 24 hours, so be sure to mark your calendars.  

I will begin posting sneak peeks of my preview bears 

each day from Wednesday, Nov 28th to Saturday Dec 1st.  

And I must say, this pair is among my favorites yet.  

The VOTING for Best in Show starts Saturday Dec 1st.  

I hope you  will all take a moment or two to check 

out all the lovely bears that are sure to be available.

Also, I want to remind you that I do offer 

Gift Certificates

that any of my items can be added to your Amazon Wish List!

Email me if you'd like instructions on how to do this.
