Hello everyone!
I've been lurking for a few days as I'm trying to work out how (or even if I can) order a custom made original which was previously a specially sculpted item - and I thought I'd join proper, as have been in love with Julips
since I was 11 years old and first saw a write up in the Pony Magazine Annual in 1972. (My poor parents were pestered non stop until I could finally get to that heavenly shop in Beauchamp Place, where I bought my first Julip, a chestnut quarter horse I named 'Cherokee' with my chrimbo money... and from then on I was smitten!
I still have my five originals from the 70's (some looking a tad tatty now, sadly) plus wooden stable, tackroom, stalls etc as well as a few of the HOTY's from the 90's (one of which refuses to stand up properly, even now, the cursed thing!) I'm SO pleased I found this forum, because Julips were always such a lovely memory and I'd love to go on collecting again. Do I just phone Laura, or what is the procedure please - havent wanted to trouble anyone as I know myself what this time of year is like, as am a pet portrait artist by trade. Any advice would be so very welcome
I'll try and load a recent photo of some of my herd later if I can get to grips with URLS etc - in the meantime, my apologies in advance to admin if I've posted this in the wrong place etc - I'm not too used to forums!

The first photo features my very old Julips from the early 70's and the second is my HOTY herd from the mid 90's
