Hello...  Just thought I would pop in to see what you have all been up to...  Kimmy, no blogging for seven days -- have you no news to tell or are you just flat out now that you are on your own??? (Sorry)

We're having a wonderful time but missing everybody terribly -- I especially miss my little bear haven (Bear Essence) and all the wonderful people associated with it :(

You'll be pleased to hear that I've managed to do a little sewing, and five little Q-tees were born in the middle of the Mediterranean!!! 


We're in Tunisia today -- Barcelona tomorrow!!!
See you when we get back -- Love to all xxx

We are looking forward to seeing some of you in our gorgeous new shop in Tooradin. I would like to say a huge thank you to all my wonderful assistants who helped me during the week. Thank you to Vicki and Heather who held down the fort back in Tooradin and to Kim and Carol who came to the show with me. You are amazing! I couldn't have done it without you.... huge hugs to you all!
Now all our bear friends are back where they belong in Tooradin......

We will miss you Josey!!!

We had a lovely day in Josey's Saturday class today. An amazing lunch and afternoon tea was provided by our wonderful ladies to wish Josey well on her Mediterranean cruise and European holiday. A huge thank you to Roz who prepared an amazing array of yummy treats. We were all spoilt with vol au vents, mini quiches, gourmet pies and croissants. If that wasn't enough....then there were the sweet treats. Profiteroles, peppermint slice, caramel slice, licorice allsort slice, mud cake, strawberries and cream.....need I go on? Needless to say .... we had another fun day at Bear Essence and wish Josey the "best time ever" as she sets off on her exciting adventure. We will miss you Josey!!!

We needed more room!!!!!!

There has been so much going on in Tooradin over the past few weeks. We have only been here 6 months and already we need more space. Thanks to my wonderful hubby Tony, it was like watching one of those renovation shows as he knocked down walls and rebuilt new ones, created a storeroom, fixed up the kitchen, installed cupboards and hooks, a new paint job ..... and all in less than a week!
We are now enjoying the wonderful new space in our gorgeous little classroom nook.
Come and enjoy it with us.....?
