First International Sale

I am very excited to say that I have made my first international sale! My bear Jeremiah is en route to Paris, France as I write this. What a lucky bear he is to go to Paris in the late spring. Paris anytime for that matter. I will attempt to post a photo of him this evening when I get home. Yes, I am writing from my day job but we don't have any patients this afternoon since the doc is out. I did have a heck of a time with printing the label on PayPal for some reason. Normally the domestic ones I print are a cinch but I had a devil of a time getting an international one printed. Argh! I am challenged electronically it seems. I know how to do these things it just seems that there is always a glitch or a gremlin when I really need to complete something. So I am really crossing my fingers and hoping that the buyer is pleased once he arrives. Such a long journey for a little bear. But so thrilling to send a bear to Paris. I was over the moon.

I am finishing up a bear now that I will post on EBay soon. She is made of fluffy grey mohair and I'm thinking she will be dressed. We'll see.

My brother is coming for Memorial Day weekend from Ft. Myers FL so I doubt I will get much sewing in. So I will more than likely not have pics up of the new girl until the first week of June. I hope you'll be back to have a look then! I wish you all a safe Memorial Day weekend!
