Showroom Scene at Fresno




Showroom at Fresno.  California State Convention.  Somewhat chaotic. 



Judging Scene. 


Betty meeting new friends, Lionhead breeders Diane and Robin from Ventura.



Beautiful American Fuzzy Lops.  



What are these?    Would you believe these are electric outlets?   These are installed on the ground almost in the middle of the showroom.    It’s a dilemma for wool exhibitors to plug in without tripping or annoying others.

Found on the Net: Pretty Rabbit Dolls





As we have seen in our posts in the past, Carolyn is an expert in making Kimekoni dolls.   Making dolls is a Japanese art form.  


The photos of the rabbit dolls we see today are from the internet.  Though these are not made by Carolyn, these are very similar to the Kimekoni dolls.




The King and Queen of the rabbit world?
