Micro Mini Wins German Live Show

I love it when customers let me know how their models did in the show ring. Andrea Bhend from Switzerland sent me this email. I copied it verbatim. Thanks Andrea!

She's referring to the micro mini Paso Fino ($15) sculpted by Maggie Bennett. She painted it herself. I'm attaching a picture of it for you to enjoy.



"I quickly wanted to write you to tell that yesterday, one of my little Micro MiniPaso I painted by myself won a gold medallion at the big German Breyerfest Show! He won the "mascot's class" and as you can see, his win is almost three times bigger than the horse itself, hahaha. The show, by the way, is the biggest in Europe and this year they had a record number of participants (61).
There were also so many people just visiting the fest like never before. It was fantastic, especially since right now, it's the only show I am able to visit since my studies take me so much time (and money). It was nice seeing people again I did not see for a couple of months..."

New Stuff for August

Well, I'm finally back! What I thought was going to be a few days off to enjoy a visit with my sister and her kids ended up being weeks away from the blog. First, I couldn't log into my blog here nor my others on Blogger - some sort of technical glitch. Then when that was resolved, the website had Issues. And I mean Issues. Yikes. The Help Desk at Yahoo was great, but uploading the site took a long, long time.

So I'm back...opening boxes of gorgeous new items here. First, Karla sent me the Arabian art tiles. Did you see them on the site? I think I told you that I have one in my office. I really love it. Someone else bought the same one and also raved about it. She's got two Arabian tiles, a Friesian and a pinto. See them here.

Next, Tabatha is almost ready with Elnathan version 2! She made changes to this guy and will be issuing only a handful. I'll get his waiting list posted soon. If you missed out on the first version, the second one, although different, will be available soon.

Sheri Rhodes sent me a painted Bravio resin that I'll be posting to auction soon. We're either going to do a private auction where you'll send us your bid or I'll do the typical eBay thing. He's a liver chestnut and the camera made him look too orange-y yesterday, so I'm debating taking new pictures of him. In the meantime though here's the closeup of his face - what do you think? I love how Sheri painted the star. So lifelike!

Let me know if you have any questions or ideas. Until then - have fun with model horses or your real equine pals!
