Another Discontinuation?

Well, it has been a bit disappointing this holiday season on the Bearista front. As far as I can tell, there aren’t any bears being sold anywhere in the United States stores. I am eagerly awaiting my bears that I bought on eBay, but those bears seem to have been only released in Asia. They are the gingerbread bears. The last Bearistas that I know of which were available in the US were the destination Bearistas with the blue caps and grey messenger bags.

Instead of Bearistas this holiday, Starbucks has released some cute reindeer and a little bird. Okay, they are cute and everything, but we want the bears! I know that Continue reading “Another Discontinuation?” →

Way Behind!

kristinbell

OMG! Obviously I am WAYYYY behind in taking care of my bear blogs and websites. I really apologize. I sort of got distracted and have been working on other things. Thank you for stopping by if you do! It may be awhile before I get back to bearista blogging. I sort of need to clean my room in a major way first!!! Still loving the bears! Just got the pumpkin bear for Halloween! Hugs to all of my bear friends! 🙂

Quick Hello

kristinbell

Hi to anyone (the few, the proud) who stops by. I wanted to let you know that I’ve been slacking off lately and on vacation, but I’m hoping to get some more work done on the blog and collection sites in the next few weeks! Also, I got a wonderful Bearista calendar from one of my online friends. I’m going to take some photos for you then post a link where you can get one yourself! The calendar is very cute, has great photos and will go along great with your own bear collection. PLUS!!! You’ll be supporting a fellow Bearista fan in her own Bearista addiction! haha. I hope you all will consider buying a calendar from my sweet friend! Okay, all for now. I’ll be back soon with more information and pics! Bearista Hugs to you all!!!

How Many Bears?

kristinbell

The question will come to all of us collectors eventually: how many bears is too many bears? How long are we going to go on collecting? You know, your shelves fill up and then you box some of your bears up, because there is just no room. It started with the bearista bears, but then you start collecting random Starbucks things. A cup here and there maybe other plushies, bearista magnets, oh and then you see some cute sticker books. Where will it end? For me, well, I’m not quite sure. Part of me trimming down my collection meant that I wasn’t going to buy all of the baseball bears and all of the city bears with the same outfits. Then I wasn’t going to buy any Asia bears, but that went down the drain when I saw how adorable the Bearista Butterfly bears were! OMG, they are so adorable! Honestly, when I go into a Starbucks and I see new bears I get really happy and I am compelled to take them home! What is one more bear afterall? One bear has led to so many bears! I have to admit that I love having the collection. The bears are so cute and I love to look at all of them. I just need another HOUSE for all of them! haha. So, when will I stop collecting Bearista Bears? I have no idea. I guess one day I will just stop. It will be a sad day for sure. How do YOU know when to stop collecting??? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

BearistaCollection.com Update

kristinbell

Hi! I just wanted to let you all know that I’m still working on BearistaCollection.com. I’m getting things done SLOWLY. I actually have about 16 Starbucks Cards loaded up with small and large photos if you are interested in looking at those. I have a lot of cards left to scan and load. Also, I have uploaded about six different bearista bears. I know it isn’t a lot right now, but you can see the bears in large and small sizes depending on which photo you click! So, the site is still under construction. I hope you can stop by sometime. 🙂

Keeping the Bearistas Coming!

kristinbell

Okay, well I just talked to someone at Starbucks Customer Relations and this person told me that they are “definitely NOT” discontinuing the Bearista Bears in the United States, so all of you collectors out there don’t need to fret. It seems Starbucks will still be churning out the bears for some time to come! Yay! Bring on the bears!

I just wanted to give a shout-out to the folks at BearistaTales.com for helping to inspire this blog/website thing that I have undertaken! When I saw how cute all the bears could look online I was really inspired to bring my own collection to the web too! I figure there can never be too many bear sites! Thank you BearistaTales!
