Gracie and I want to send a loving tribute to Jen, maker of the Alexissofie clothing. Jen has recently lost a battle with cancer and she will be greatly missed by our extended Sasha family around the world.
Gracie loves her pretty dress made by Jen. We want to send our love and our prayers to Jen and her family and friends. Thank you for bringing beauty into our lives. 💐
The boys insisted on going outdoors early today before the rains came and poured and poured. We dressed in summer clothes and sandals, rounded up our puppies, and grabbed our camera. We heard the thunder rumbling in the distance and even felt its vibrations under our feet as the dark clouds rolled over our blue skies. We managed to dodge the raindrops and snap a few photos before dashing indoors.
Most of you know Finn, a 1967 Frido NP boy. The year 1967 was the only year for NP boy production and the boys do not have eyelashes. The 1967 girls do have lashes.
This brunette boy is Bronson. He is a 1967 NP and luckily, he has non-falling hair.
This handsome lad is Ferris. He is a 1967 NP boy with very different eyes than those belonging to Finn. Both blonde boys have all platinum hair. During that year, the blonde boys were either all platinum blonde or all a darker, golden blonde.
Here are the 1967 NP boys living at Sasha Shangri-La.
I am very fond of these lads.
Close up photos of these dear lads. I like to see the eye painting up close.
Bronson’s eyes and brows are very bold and nice.
My beloved Finn…so sweet.
More close up photos.
Bronson is wearing a navy gilet by Dollydoodles, colorful shorts by Lorraine Tyler, and navy leather sandals by Jean Jensen. His pup is Woody, a carved wooden dog.
Finn is holding his favorite pup named Fetch. Finn is wearing a Sashapotamus t-shirt, a Levi denim vest, wonderful flag shorts by Lorraine Tyler, and light blue leather Birkenstocks by Marti Murphy.
Now, we have Ferris wearing a t-shirt by Sashapotamus (yes, Ferris is extremely intelligent and loves chemistry), fabulous black cargo shorts by Sharon Humphreys, and gold leather sandals by Jean Jensen. His blonde puppy is very clingy and we called him Fido.
Finn, Bronson, Ferris, and I thank you for visiting with us and we hope you enjoyed this post. We are sending you hugs and happy wishes for today and the week to come.
Bye bye from all of us here on Cow Creek!

This beautiful summer farm girl has come to live here at Sasha Shangri-La. She is beautifully painted and outfitted by Janet Myhill-Dabbs.
This pretty one told me her name is Sunny.
Hello there Sunny. This is a quick post to introduce you.
Sunny loves flowers and she helped to arrange this mason jar of sunflower and daisies.
A few more photos of our farm girl here on the farm.
A beautiful day today on Cow Creek.
Sunny wants to thank you for visiting with us.
We both hope you all have a wonderful week.
A sweet wave goodbye from Sunny.
Note: A peek at Sunny’s foot with her pedigree.

I am happy to say that these four lovely and all blonde ladies are now part of the Sasha family here at Sasha Shangri-La. As Sasha enthusiasts can see, each one is different from the other and they each arrived over the past year. No excuses for my delays. I just failed to properly introduce them upon their arrival. Though, I have to say, I have really enjoyed each one very much. So, let us begin with introductions.
This slate eyed beauty has beautiful and luscious hair. Her name is Holly.
Next is a very special button nose or no nose girl with beautiful ochre eyes. Her name is Ellie.
This amazing slate eyed girl has a fantastic pout about her. Her name is Hayley.
Lastly, is a pale faced slate eyed girl that is very feminine even with her contrasting bold brows. Her name is Emma.
They arrived wearing their original outfits. I wanted to introduce them as they came before safely storing their clothing and beginning to redress them. What fun that will be!
Holly is wearing brown cord farm pants and white blouse, white sandals and a green duffle coat. Ellie and Hayley are both wearing a brown cord dress and brown leather shoes. Hayley has her original blue threaded wrist tag which dates her as an early production girl. Emma is wearing a navy and white checked dress with navy leather shoes. It is always nice to have original outfits for our Sasha dolls.

Thank you for visiting with us today as I catch up with the residents of Cow Creek. My photos were taken indoors due to reoccurring rain storms in recent days with alternating high temperatures. It is better to stay inside for now. I hope you enjoyed this post and that you have a wonderful day and week to come.
Pretty Waterlogue images to enjoy.

During her visits, my beautiful daughter-in-law Mollie really loved spending time with dolls and especially the Sasha dolls here at Sasha Shangri-La. Her favorites were the babies which was a nice surprise. So this past Christmas, Santa gifted her a brunette Sasha baby and she named her Trixie. She took these photos of baby Trixie.
A warmer coat for Trixie to wear this past winter plus a sweet bear friend to keep her company. This special panda bear was made by the very talented Janet Myhill-Dabbs and was given to Mollie by our family as a Christmas present along with Trixie.
Baby Trixie this Spring sitting with loving hands of support.
We recently celebrated Mollie’s birthday with a cookie cake and sweet panda bears on top since she loves pandas.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner out. Plus the opening of presents and one of these presents was……..
A very sweet black Sasha baby plus a hand made panda outfit that fits perfectly. The outfit was made by a lady living in the Ukraine and found on eBay. The original Cara outfit has been stored in the box. What a dear baby! No name yet but soon I expect.
Later, Mollie took photos of the babies together. I am so happy that she loves dolls and also loves Sasha dolls. I am hoping she will be able to attend a Festival sometime soon. Isn’t it nice to see another generation loving our treasured Sasha dolls?
Thank you for visiting with us today. I hope you enjoyed this short post and that you have a great week ahead.
