The Circus Came to Town.....(in October 2004)

Teddy bear artists from around the globe, spearheaded and inspired by Stacy Alvarado, planned a Great new edition of a Popular Event this fall with another Circus Parade Auction on eBay. When it was completed, many lucky winners had some wonderful new mini friends to add to their collections. I was the lucky winner of four auctions from artists in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada and the United States. I have put together a page of my new little collectibles and want to share them with you:

Down on the Midway... are many wonderful sideshows set up for your viewing pleasure. One tent is the home of The Magician Extrodinaire. He always dazzles and confounds the crowds with his famous card tricks.

"Is this your card, Sir?",

No Circus would be complete without the ever popular Organ grinder and His little monkey. Entertaining the boys and girls (and their moms and dads) is the main job of Charlie & Chico and they love their job as much as the crowds love them!
