I wanted to share the rest of the story about Gracie’s studio dress. My recent post about Gracie’s dress was really the end of an interesting and happy story.

In August, I received emails from an online auction house that routinely contacts me when the word “Sasha” is in the title or description of an auction item. This particular email was about an auction involving several interesting Sasha studio dolls that really perked my interest.  So I clicked on the link to have a look.

There were some very nice dolls in this auction located in Switzerland. One doll was a redheaded early Gotz girl with ochre eyes. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to her because I was focusing on the beautiful studio dolls.

This is the photo as shown by the auction house!

The written auction description said that the dress was labeled. I then thought it must be a studio dress but not for the usual size Sasha studio ( ranging from 19-22 inches) but a smaller studio doll like a Sasha studio bebe. Also, noting the length of the dress and sleeve length on this 16 inch tall vinyl doll, I was pretty certain this would fit a Sasha bebe.

I was so excited because Gracie, a studio bebe, came to me in a lovely but unoriginal dress.  I had hoped to one day find her a studio dress of her own. I registered for the auction and placed my high bid. I won!

My kind friend from Switzerland, who retrieved the doll after I had won the auction, sent these photos to me with the happy confirmation that it was a studio dress for a bebe!

Fast forward to today… Gracie is so very happy with her new studio dress and I don’t think she will take it off anytime soon.  I have a couple of additional photos of the happy baby girl. (I am getting better at posting photos 😊)

Before I forget, there was also an addition to the Sasha doll family….the sweet girl that modeled Gracie’s dress. She, too, is very nice. I dressed her quickly in a Ruth’s doll outfit having Fall colors.

Isn’t she sweet? I haven’t named her yet.  She has a nice early Gotz wrist tag with the blue thread. She is standing next to a wonderful no-navel Gotz girl I recently adopted from Dee.  Her name is Hazel.  So lovely to see them together.

Thank you for visiting us today here at Sasha Shangri-la.  I hope you enjoyed the “Rest of the Story.”  Gracie and I are sending you happy wishes for a great day and week ahead. 🥰
