Abby is very happy to show you her beautiful new dress made by the very talented Thu Cuc Faes. The dress was made for Abby as a Christmas present! ❤

Abby loves her new dress and the beautiful red leather shoes with white knitted socks!  Her pink teddy bear is just happy to be at Abby’s side. 🙂

Abby is an early studio doll and her lovely facial features were hand painted by Sasha Morgenthaler herself.  Her yarn wig is original to her and found on some of the early studio dolls.  Her body type is “A” and the same body type that was used years later during the production of the Course dolls from 1970-1993. ❤

I think this shade of red looks very pretty on Abby. ❤

A nice close-up photo of the lovely fabric and smocking. 🙂

I I thought you might like to see the dress and matching pant. This photo and the next photo are by Thu Cuc. 🙂

I want you to see the back of Abby’s dress and the generous sash that ties into a bow. 🙂

A last photo of Abby and she thanks you for visiting Sasha Shangri-La and sends you a big hug along with happy wishes for the week to come! 🙂 xxx

Knock, Knock…….

Who’s there?

Wow wee!!!   So much beautiful hair!

The lovely Sarah Williams has diligently worked her “magic” on this beautiful girl ❤

And out of the random chaos of hugh masses of hair, comes beauty and order and perfection!

Please meet Whitney.   She has about 155 plaits. 🙂

Whitney is wearing a beautiful outfit also fashioned by Sarah. I love her turquoise leather shoes. ❤

Whitney brought with her a gorgeous coat and beret.

I absolutely love this color on Whitney!  I love this coat and beret too! ❤

A close view of Whitney. ❤

A final photo of Whitney. I want to thank Sarah for allowing me to adopt Whitney.  Sarah also took these photos of Whitney and graciously allowed me to post them here today.

Whitney sends her hugs to you and well wishes for a beautiful week!

Thank you for stopping by Sasha Shangri-La. 🙂 xxx

A very quick post today because it is my birthday and I am posting before we go to dinner!   A most wonderful present from my husband and sons was this ochre eyed, German made, Gotz girl with beautiful red hair. She arrived earlier this week and I put this knitted hat on her for a day to tame her pretty fringe 🙂

She came wearing her original dress and pant and white leather shoes. She belonged to a lovely lady and she had been her childhood doll and wonderfully cared for since the 1960’s!  So I am her second owner and, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that I have adopted a childhood doll directly from the first owner.  Since I did not have a Sasha doll as a child, it is very special to be owner number two. 🙂

I was thrilled to adopt this yellow-eyed beauty and expectedly named her Amber. 🙂

Today, I redressed Amber and stored her original outfit safely away. A pretty floral dress, warm cardi, knitted socks and JJ leather shoes and Amber is starting to feel at home here at Sasha Shangri-La. 🙂  A huggable bunny is always nice to have in a new place.

Even better is to have a warm and loving welcome from your new sisters.  Also made in 1966 and also with pretty red hair, Sylvia on the left and Joy on the right surround Amber with happy sisterly greetings. ❤

The lovely Sylvia with brown eyes and made during the English production in 1966.

The lovely Joy with blue eyes and made during the English production in 1966.

Three lovely “reds” with different eye colors and I have to say that 1966 was a very good year! ❤

Amber taking-in her new surroundings in stride. 😉

A last photo of Amber and she sends you big hugs and very happy wishes for a great week to come! 🙂 xxx
