No Frills Live 3/14/15 - Chinas and Customs

Hello! It has been a long time, but I hope that I will be getting back to regular blogging. Today I'm sharing some gorgeous models that I spotted at the wonderful "No Frills Live" show yesterday. Thank you very much to the Great Lakes Congress for hosting the show, and to Lisa Esping for judging the China, CM, and AR Divisions!  Please comment if you would like to provide any names of the artists and owners that I could not credit.
