****Starting a collectors club was Deb's greatest desire, since she first opened Deb Canham Artist Designs in the USA. Her favorite benefit of having the club is the special connection that exists between herself and the members, and being able to design, for just those collectors, pieces that are not available on the open market. The feeling is contagious! It is exciting, when we are able to help someone find a piece they have been looking for. It is especially rewarding when Deb is able to present certain pieces as prizes that the member would not have otherwise been able to acquire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Deb was thrilled that two of the 2000 club bears were selected as nominations for the 2000 TOBY(tm) AWARDS presented by TEDDY BEAR AND FRIENDS magazine. Binker, the first Club Exclusive, and Holiday Santa, the third Club Exclusive, were both nominated. Binker in the Dressed Bear Under 12"-Manufactured Category, and Holiday Santa in the Undressed Bear Under 12"-Manufactured Category.

Binker was the first club piece~EVER~so he holds a special place in our hearts. Each club bear is 3" tall, mohair and fully jointed. Binker was available to charter members from June 1999 til June 2000. Santa on Holiday was available to club members from Novenber 1999 til June 2000. Harvey was available from March 2000 til June 2000. These club pieces were first year pieces and are no longer available.

Binker was the focus of the first club event~Canp Canham! Deb had alot of fun with the Binkers, who were lucky enough to attend camp. Each Binker came home with his very own "Merbear" named Mrytle. She is a wonderful mermaid and one can only guess how Binker found her! Only 200 Binkers went to Camp Canham, so she is quite a limited edition. We hope there is a camp again for 2001.

Here are a few pictures of the Binkers at Camp Canham!

The Field Trip



On The Beach



Sand Castles



Deb's Keeping Control Hat



As you can see, the bears had a lovely holiday! They swam, went horseback riding, had a helicopter ride, and Deb made sure they wrote home. She only had to put on her flamingo hat to have total control. When the Binkers saw that hat....they knew Deb meant business! Thus, 200 little bears took pen in hand and wrote the most wonderfully funny letters of their adventures. Camp was definately good for them!!

I have tried to talk Deb into letting our husbands come along with the bears this year. Think how nice it would be to have them learn "British Charm"! But, Deb says "her" Richard is too busy to teach all of them! Maybe next year!!

I hope you have enjoyed our Deb Canham web pages. Should you wish to join the club, through Beary Best Friends, we will be happy to process your club application and order your club pieces. Ordering is easy and shipping is within the same week.

If we can be of assistance in any other way or if you want anything more included on these pages, please let us know.
