The rest of the box

Diestro may have been the best thing in Thursday's best box...

but the other things were pretty wonderful, too!

This twisty little guy is a Hank resin by Tibbi Searcher. 

He's a neat piece, but like Diestro, he didn't arrive unscathed. I don't blame Laura. Both models were well packed, and the box looked fine. That must have been a really rough trip.

The box also included a child rider doll, or what will eventually be a child rider doll once he's been customized.

Laura used a similar doll in some of her show entries earlier this year. I absolutely fell in love with this little dude, and Laura was kind enough to send me his twin.

Last but not least, is a 1:9 scale Airflex cinch. For someone who is best known for her customizing, Laura is a darn fine tack maker. I am happy to add a small piece of her work to my tack collection.

Thanks for everything, Laura. That was really an awesome box!
