So here is my BMECS 2014 post :)
The day started early, I stayed at mum's the night before. I had 268 entries and 16 large plastic boxes + numerous other boxes. So I needed two cars to get there!
Here is a link to all my pictures: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152674754015155.1073741903.689360154&type=1&l=306e1ca65c
The day started with Workmanship, Custom Glazed China, CTF and OF.
Here is the Workmanship Grey class:
A very nice grey:
The raffle was HUGE! Here is a shot of part of the table:
This is one of the Workmanship bay entries, a very nice Smarty (I am guessing this guy is by Deb Brown):
My first first of the day went to CRS Julie Reinger aka Thunderstorm. My beautiful Weathergirl mare:
This was the Workmanship chestnut class where my little girl got a fifth. I adore this model so glad to see her placing :) Her name is CRS Risky Ruby
Another Workmanship entry. I love this model, such a brilliant idea for the mold, looks really effective.
I'm going to inflict another gorgeous Smarty Jones on you. This one was also in Workmanship (buckskin I believe):
The CTF was split up into Equorum, Julip, Mini Whinnie, Schleich, CollectA and Other. Here is one of the Equorum entries:
