New Bears and an Announcement...
New bears just delivered to Abracadabra Teddies!! I have always wanted to create a group of bears in just black and white - so classy! These little chaps will be arriving at Abracadabra in the morning - probably with snow on their toes, judging by the weather outside my studio window! Anyway, there is more information about them on my website: www.christinepike.com with a link to Abracadabra.
AND.... I am very proud to announce my first collection for Charlie Bears!!! Charlie Bears is a relatively new, British manufacturer of extremely high quality plush and mohair bears and is currently taking the world by storm. At Spring Fair last week they were singled out for praise as being a great British success and a company to watch for the future - well done Charlotte and her team!!
I have designed five bears for the Spring 2009 catalogue and they are all featured on page 17. The first deliveries should be hitting the shops next week, hurrah! I shall be putting up some pictures on my website shortly but, in the meantime, grab yourself a catalogue and have a drool over all the gorgeous bears (and the odd rabbit, kitten, and puppy).

Brilliant black and white collection Chris. I want all of them. Greedy I know but true. However I can't do that so will have to be happy looking at the pictures. Superb as always.

Hi Christine!
I found a link to you somewhere in my ramblings! Congrats on the Charlie line. I know they will be so popular! I've chatted with Felicia who was wondering how your Walmart purchase was working out! So enjoyed meeting you last year in Mt. Holly and hope to see you again! Oh, also hope the kiln has brought joy - I'm taking a pottery class in a couple of weeks! Hugs, Donna
