UK TEDDY AND CRAFT FAIR IN CATERHAM, SURREY.



I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO THE SPRING CRAFT AND TEDDY BEAR FAIR IN CATERHAM, SURREY WHICH WAS HELD ON SATURDAY THE 9TH OF APRIL. I FLEW IN ESPECIALLY TO MEET ALL THE GREAT TEDDY ARTISTS. I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE MORE ARTISTS BUT THE ONES THAT I MET WERE PROFESSIONALS IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP. EMELIA POLLARD OF HIGGYS BEARS GAVE ME SOME TRICKS OF THE TRADE.

I MET SASHA KLESHEVA AND ANN GARDNER AND THEIR TEDDIES. I ENJOYED SEEING ALL THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, SHAPES AND SIZES OF TEDDIES.

I ALSO MET DIANA HUBER-PERKINS OF H & G CREATIONS DISPLAYING HER BEAUTIFUL GREETING CARDS CREATED FROM HER ORIGINAL WATERCOLOUR PAINTINGS. I HAD THE HONOUR OF MEETING JACKY FOWLER OF LAND OF PURPLE RAINDROPS. JACKY YOUR CARDS ARE INSPRING. TO ALL THE LADIES CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL CRAFTS.

Sasha´s Bears 

ANN GARDNER AND HER 97% RECYCLED AND 100% BIZAAR TEDDIES.

We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

He who cannot be a good follower cannot be a good leader.
 



PEOPLE OVER 50

Q: Where can women over the age of 50 find young, sexy men, who are interested in them?
A: Try a bookstore under fiction.

Q: What can a man do while his wife is going through menopause?
A: Keep busy. If you're handy with tools, you can finish the basement. When you are done you will have a place to live.

Q: How can you increase the heart rate of your 50+ year old husband?
A: Tell him you're pregnant.

Q: How can you avoid spotting a wrinkle every time you walk by a mirror?
A: The next time you're in front of a mirror, take off your glasses.

Q: Why should 50+ year old people use valet parking?
A: Valets don't forget where they park your car.

Q: Is it common for 50+ year olds to have problems with short-term memory storage?
A: Storing memory is not a problem; retrieving it is a problem.

Q: As people age, do they sleep more soundly?
A: Yes, but usually in the afternoon.

Q: Where do 50+ year olds look for fashionable glasses?
A: Their foreheads.

Q: What is the most common remark made by 50+ year olds when they enter antique stores?
A: "I remember these." 




Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
