Introducing Fergus

Well, the Crafts In The Pen weekend went even better than we'd hoped it would. As it was our first time there, we were uncertain what to expect, but bears, fairy houses and Christmas decorations all sold really well and we had loads of very positive feedback about our stall from visitors, who loved the cosiness of the Christmas lights and the big rug to stand on instead of the cold concrete. (Thanks to Al's Emporium in Todmorden for donating the rug - it was much appreciated).

Definitely a fair that we'd like to do again next year.

That's our last fair for 2017, so for now we'll be concentrating on Etsy and on our website www.hugsunlimited.co.uk as well as spending some time developing new ideas for the coming year.

Meanwhile, check out this cute little bear:

This is Fergus, a 10.5" bear in a little duffle coat and hand-knitted scarf. He's the latest addition to our webpage and Etsy shop and is all set to brave the winter weather to head out to a new home - wherever that may be. He is £117.00 plus postage. Please take a look.

Thanks for visiting. Look out for more new items in the run up to Christmas.

A Big Weekend Ahead

The last few weeks have seen us working long and hard to prepare for two major events this weekend.
First, from tomorrow (17th November) to Sunday 19th, Dawn is participating in an international on-line show where she will be exhibiting and selling bears and bear-related gifts.

The show also has a competition for best showpiece bear, which you can vote for on the Teddies Worldwide web pages. Dawn's entry is Holly, a beautiful Christmas fairy bear. Please take a look.

The second event we've been working hard for is the two-day Crafts In The Pen in Skipton.

 

This is a huge craft fair - the biggest we've ever exhibited at - and we've been working hard to produce an exciting range of craft items and gifts. We've got Dawn's bears of course, plus bags, fairy houses, lots of Christmas decorations, cushions, bat necklaces, hanging lace decorations and more. If you're in the area, please come and say hello. The fair is in a big cattle market and we've got a whole pen to ourselves, so it's almost like having our own shop!

The fair is from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November. The address is Skipton Auction Mart, BD23 1UD. There's lots to see and a lovely cafe. But wear a big coat - it might be a bit cold in there!

Right - I'm off now to finish of some fairy houses and start packing. I hope we'll see some of you in Skipton.

Thanks for reading.
