.... CHERISH - 'Bonnet' Photo
Our special thanks to Cathie for sharing the following:
Hi Ms. Janie and Deb...I
wanted to share a picture with you both. A lovely family who lives in
the UK sent me a surprise Easter package. In it was one of the Global
Breakfast packages that Sue Owen made up for Cherish...raising funds for
cancer research in the UK. Not only was it one of the packages...but one
of the four very special packages she had to offer...in it was the
Herrod's Bonnet..with the special Herrod's tag...plus the other lovely
goodies that Sue and her friend used for this fund raiser! Thought you
all might like to see it. Hugs, Cathie;)
.... Ty Newsflash - Retirements

... Extension of Permits,
Building Rights on Miramar
Santa
Barbara News-Press, Calif.
Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News Mar. 29
A Carpinteria man on Monday appealed a recent decision
that gave Beanie Baby creator Ty Warner an extension on permits and
building rights that he needs to buy and renovate the Miramar
Hotel. On March 16, the Montecito Planning Commission granted Mr.
Warner a one-year extension on the permits that are due to expire on May
3. However, Stephan Tomkins, who lives on Ocean View Drive, has appealed
that decision to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Warner is buying the hotel from Ian Schrager. A source close to the
deal told the News-Press that Mr. Warner has pledged to pay $45 million
upfront -- and he could spend another $70 million on renovations -- for
the 17-acre Miramar spread near San Ysidro Road and Highway 101.
.. Mr. Warner owns the Four Seasons Biltmore Resort, the Coral Casino
Beach Club, San Ysidro Ranch, Montecito Country Club and the Sandpiper
Golf Course. ...

... Fallen Soldier's Mission Continues
Toy donations started in McGowan's
name
The News Journal 03/28/2005
Steve McGowan was a tough guy with a soft spot in his heart for
children. On patrol in Iraq, the rugby player turned Army
paratrooper carried Beanie Babies with him to hand out to kids in the
villages and towns his unit passed through. Last Christmas, he asked his
family not for presents but for more of the floppy little plush animals
so he could spread a little joy in a land where children often find joy
in short supply.

... News is a little slow today. But as we
mentioned over the weekend, you may want to keep an eye on
Ty's website
over the next few days. There are anticipated new 'happenings'
just around the corner.
| Sat/Sunday, March 26-27 |
From our family to yours, have a
safe and happy Easter holiday weekend!
... Next?
So what's next around the corner with Ty? If the 'norm' holds
true, Ty should be releasing new April products early next week.
Perhaps some retirements (ie - Ty Store's Bonnet Beanie Baby and
Buddy). Of course, there's also the new April BBOTM and April
desktop wallpaper. And many collectors are waiting on the
appearance of 'Angeline', who's being quite elusive (so far). You
may want to watch the Ty website over the next few days ... Of course,
we'll also keep you updated whenever news happens.
In the meantime, enjoy spending time this weekend with family and/or
friends. Have fun and be safe!

... CHERISH Update
Sue Owen shares the following:
Many thanks
to everyone who popped into www.cherishonline.co.uk
for breakfast over the weekend. I hope that you all enjoyed the fun and
games, quizzes and contests.
The event continues into this week with a few more of the special
edition breakfast packages for sale. Each comes with an array of
commemorative items - pin badge, serially numbered ear tag, ribbon,
card, etc. You can choose either (or both!) breakfast themes - 'Baker's
Breakfast' (Gold Decade with tea-themed charm necklace and muffin
crocheted by Jennifer aka PattiBuddy or the 'Sunny Side Up Breakfast'
with egg themed charm necklace and a salt dough fried egg ornament made
and hand-decorated by Jennifer. That girl has certainly been very busy
recently!
People who 'Go Large' and buy
both packages will also receive a commemorative magnet and booklet. Already £1000
has been banked over the weekend and all proceeds go to Cancer
Research UK, the world's leading charity dedicated to research on the causes,
treatment and prevention of cancer. As well as treating yourself to a special
Beanie Package - or maybe a friend for Easter - you will be contributing towards
worldwide research that EVERYONE will benefit from.
Fot the breakfast connoisseur there are several Luxury Breakfast Packages now
offered on eBay, with auctions closing on Wednesday. Most of the Beanies on sale
are wearing little breakfast-printed aprons or napkins and have other special
items included in their package. You can view them all at this link: Click

Many thanks for all your support. Have a wonderful Easter!
Best wishes, Sue
... New 'Ask Ty' Q & A
A new 'Ask Ty' question and answer has been posted on Ty's website:
Q: Beanie Babies have brought smiles to people, especially children
all over the world. Did you ever think they would bring smiles to so
many when you created them? (submitted by Chocolvr)
A: I created Beanies as an affordable, high quality plush item that
children could play with and use their imaginations. I feel very
fortunate that part of this phenomenon were all those sweet smiles !

... Teddy Bears and Lots of Love
Boca Raton News
Published Sunday, March 20, 2005 1:00 am
Girl Scouts and American Health Association pack
up over 50,000 teddy bears to send to orphans of war in Iraq
Girl Scouts and the American Health
Association joined hands to collect and pack up over 50,000 teddy bears,
which will be shipped to Iraq and placed in the hands of the children
who have become orphans of war. On Saturday, the group boxed up
and decorated the cuddly toys for the children at Heritage Park in
Delray Beach.... The loads of teddy bears will be sent to a secure
military site in Baghdad and the soldiers stationed there will bring the
toys to orphanages and some of the children’s new homes. ... Dr.
Robert Gordon, founder of the American Health Association and the
American Volunteer Core, spearheaded the Teddy Bear Campaign in what he
said was an attempt to bring some hope and comfort to the orphans over
in Iraq. ... “There’s been so much tragedy among these
kids,” said Gordon, whose organization has already sent over 25,000
teddy bears to the orphans during Christmas time. “Our campaign is to
see that every teddy bear is put in a child’s hands.”
“Teddy bears mean a lot to people who have nothing,” he said.
“They hug them because they have nothing else.” About
10,000 Beanie Babies donated from Ty Inc. will also be sent over to the
orphans.

Sue Owen shares the following:
Just a reminder to pop in
to www.cherishonline.co.uk
tomorrow (Saturday) to join in the fun and games taking place for the
CHERISH Global Breakfast. Although the intention is to raise as much as
possible for Cancer Research UK I do want my guests to enjoy themselves
and you are encouraged to pull up a comfy chair, settle down with a hot
beverage and breakfast, of course! This is one occasion when you need
NOT feel bad about still wearing your pyjamas at the computer!
As you can read on the website, there will be 100 special Breakfast
Beanie Packages on sale from 8am GMT - 50 of each of 2 varieties. Thanks
to Jennifer aka PattiBuddyFerociousPlatypus it is a lovely home-made
breakfast on the menu - she has worked so hard to make all the wonderful
salt dough fried egg ornaments, hand-paint the CHERISH breakfast logo on
each (she even designed the logo!) and add some sparkle and vanilla
scent to them. Not content with that Jennifer went on to crochet 50
wonderful muffins and frosted cup cakes of different 'flavours'! Wait
till you see the special luxury breakfast auctions appearing later on
tomorrow on eBay under seller ID sue_owen - more of Jennifer's handiwork
and some of my own. I don't have to ask you to bid generously - you
always do!
I am looking forward to welcoming you to the CHERISH breakfast tomorrow
and hope that you will spare the time to read the breakfast pages
created especially for the event - facts and fun - and try the puzzles
and challenges that await. I do have some breakfast-themed prizes to
award. Let's have fun trying to beat last year's total of almost £2000!
Best wishes,
Sue

... 'Bonnet' - Ty Store vs Harrods version
Following yesterday's report from Sue, on the Harrods version of
'Bonnet' Beanie Baby, she further adds:
Hi again, I
forgot to mention that the Harrods version of Bonnet has an
interesting style number on the back of the hang tag. There is a
bar code on the back with the number 44046. I don't think I have seen a
code starting with 44 before - do you know anything about
this? Do Ty Store Beanies have a style code if they don't have a bar
code and if so, do they begin with 44?
Best wishes, Sue
Below is a photo comparison of both hang tags ... Sue of CHERISH provided the 'Harrods' version; Sakurako of Bottega Beanies provided the Ty Store version. (Thanks to both for sharing!)

... 'Warner's World ... Beanie Baby Mogul Ty Warner Buys
Miramar Hotel
(Updated News 3/11/05)
 |
In a move that promises to deliver far more in political dividends than financial, Montecito billionaire and Beanie Baby mogul Ty Warner announced he has purchased Montecito's once blue-roofed Miramar Hotel from hotelier Ian Schrager. The Miramar - which for the past several years has languished unhappily as an unfinished construction site - is another in a series of high-profile Santa Barbara landmarks purchased by the acquisitive Warner, including the Four Seasons Biltmore, the Coral Casino, San Ysidro Ranch, and Sandpiper Golf Course. Famous for being secretive in his business dealings, Warner has declined to disclose the purchase price. Warner
has proposed many changes for the Coral Casino, a private
membership club that happens to be located on Warner's Biltmore
Hotel property. Among the members - who include some of Santa
Barbara's oldest families - Warner's proposals have generated
intense and bitter disagreements. Warner's supporters insist his
plans will only make the club better, and have praised Warner as
a visionary philanthropist for all seasons; his detractors claim
Warner's true agenda is to open up the private club, not just to
hotel guests - already allowed under limited circumstances - but
to the public at large. Further, opponents claim Warner and his
supporters have sought to intimidate any dissent by threatening
to increase member dues and to expel or sue those members
expressing contrary views. |
