Ladbergen 2012

We had a wonderful weekend in Ladbergen. This is a very special Teddy Bear show. All the town is Teddy Bears!! Shops are open and even in the windows are Teddy Bears displayed.

During the opening the local Mayor received the first Bear from a limited edition, special made for this year, from the show organizer.

All set up and ready to go.....................

Customers spent time chatting with Artist..

or searching for that special bear or supplies they were looking for.

During the show a felt workshop was teached. I followed the progress of one of the students during the  workshop.
