About mountainmullins

Sasha doll collector primarily plus other interesting dolls. I inheirited my love of dolls from my dear Mother and also her collection. My first Sasha doll was Gwennie, a redheaded studio doll. Since Gwennie, I have collected other Sasha dolls and love their individual personalities created by their eye painting, hair color and styling, and dressing them. It is such fun to share with other collectors!

A Beautiful March Day

It was a little chilly this morning and Morgen wanted to try on this pretty plaid coat made by Fanny Boiten. She particularly liked the handbag and the sweet dolly that belonged to my Mom. ❤

Morgen looks very nice in her new coat.

I love her sweet face. ❤

Morgen is already packing for her trip back to England. She is a real go-getter and I have yet to start packing. I think I need a little encouragement. 😉

She said, “Mommy, what are you waiting for? I will help you pack for our trip!”

Having received such a generous offer of assistance, I agreed to start organizing this weekend. How exciting! Thank you Morgen for helping to motivate me. 😉

Look Morgen, here is Gertie! ❤

“Hi Gertie! I am glad you came out to play!” 😊

“Hi Morgen! Look, it has warmed up today! It is 68 degrees and the sun is really shining too!” 😊

“I am wearing bib overalls made by Lorraine Tyler. My leather shoes were made by Marti Murphy.” ❤

“I think you can take your coat off Morgen now that it is so warm.” 🌞

Gertie on a beautiful March day. ❤

“Oh Morgen, I love your outfit!” ❤

Morgen picked this outfit made by A Passion for Sasha that was found on Shelly’s site with this adorable shoulder bag, red leather boots and blue knitted socks.😊

Red is a very good color for Morgen. 😊

“What a lovely day it is. I love being here at Sasha Shangri-La” ❤

❤

Morgen loves to carry a handbag. ❤

“Gertie, come and see me.” 😊

Happy sisters. 😊

❤ ❤

Today was an unexpected sunny day and the daffodils bloomed here on Cow Creek in February. Most unusual but welcomed. 😊

A very beautiful March day. Gertie, Morgen, and I want to thank you for visiting with us and we hope you enjoyed this post. Have a wonderful day and weekend too. 😊 xxx

A New Girl Arrives at Sasha Shangri-La ❤

Image

Some of you may have seen this rare girl on Shelly’s site and you may have wondered where she went after leaving Sasha Doll UK. She is a Gotz girl but with her eye painting by Sasha Morgenthaler herself. I immediately fell in love with her. ❤

The first three photos of this post were taken by Shelly. 😊

I love Sasha’s studio doll paintings and this girl was no exception. She is a very special, miniature studio-like doll. ❤

After she arrived, I immediately took photos of her on this coral colored blanket. ❤

My hands were shaking while taking the first photos. Such anticipation! 😊

I think I was in shock with excitement for quite a while after she arrived. Thank goodness that I did hear her whisper that her name is Morgen. ❤

Next I took a few photos of Morgen in her original brown cord dress with brown leather shoes. ❤

❤ Hello Morgen ❤

Welcome to Sasha Shangri-La dear one. ❤

❤ Morgen ❤

Next, I gave her back her ponytail to see how it would look. Morgen loved playing in the doll room. 😊

She has the little curl at the base of her neck. Plus the nice side wings.

I really like her ponytail. 😊

Then, I dressed Morgen in a studio style dress by Dolliepatch. I think she looks very pretty in this outfit.

I hope you enjoyed meeting Morgen today. Thank you for visiting with us. ❤

I styled Morgen’s hair back into her ponytail and then she joined her sisters Gracie, Joanie, and Gwennie. They love to share stories of when they came alive as they were painted by Sasha Morgenthaler in Switzerland long ago. Wouldn’t it have been wonderful to have been there to see the dolls come to life in her extraordinarily, talented hands? ❤

A waterlogue image to enjoy. Morgen and I wish you a very happy and healthy week to come. 😊 xxx

Rain, Rain Never Go Away 🌹

Image

A beautiful new addition to the Sasha Shangri-La family is a lovely and unique girl repainted by artist Mary Madeco-Smith. Her name is Rain. Mary posted her on Facebook as ready for adoption and I was lucky to write to her first. 😊

Mary sent Rain to me dressed in an amazing outfit and wearing a wig made of many colors of the rainbow. She also sent a fantastic black wig and I have taken photos of Rain wearing both wigs. Mary sent a beautiful African dress with Rain and I will show that in another post. Both of these creative and unique outfits were made of fantastic, organic fabrics and made in collaboration with Tim Purk. ❤

❤

❤ I love this outfit!

❤

❤

Rain came without shoes at my request. I love her stripy socks and wanted them to show so I paired them up with a pair of leather sandals. The sandals were made by Paula of 4 Angels in the U.K. ❤

❤ Next is Rain wearing her fabulous black wig. I think both wigs are just wonderful on her!

❤ The ties on her bibs and the rolled collar really are special touches to this outfit.

❤ Rain feels confident and so ready to embrace life.

❤

❤

❤ We hope you have enjoyed meeting Rain.

❤ Rain and I want to thank you for visiting with us today. We are sending you hugs and happy wishes for the weekend days and the week to come. 😊 xxx

Have a lovely day everyone! Love, Finn, me, and all in Sasha Shangri-La 💝

A Beautiful February Day

Image

Today was the most beautiful day. Not only were the temperatures in the 60’s but the sun was shining nearly all day long. It is also my son Luke’s birthday and we had a great time celebrating his special day with family and friends. 😊

I could not resist taking photos outdoors today. First up is Carney, my first NP and she is an early girl made in 1966. ❤

Carney is wearing a very beautiful dress made by Petrana. Her purple boots are from Sashapotamus and they have 8 individual buckles to give her a fun, spirited look.

Carney is a very sweet girl and I have missed dressing her up. I love her large blue eyes. ❤

A closer view.

😊

Next for us to see is Pearl, a 1966 graphic eyed NP. She is wearing a lovely dress made by Petrana. Her green leather shoes were made by Marti Murphy. 😊

I love the detailing on Petrana’s dress. ❤

Pearl is a very thoughtful girl and she loves to read. ❤

I would love to have an outfit like this to wear!

🌹

Our next little lady is Chloe, an early 1966 NP with deep blue eyes. She is wearing a beautiful outfit made by Petrana. Her boots were made by Ruthsdolls. Chloe positioned her scarf as a sash for her dress since the weather was too warm to wear a coat and scarf. I like the look! 😊

The lovely Chloe in a lovely dress. 🌹

A closer look at her deep blue eyes. ❤

🌹

What a joy it was to be able to be outdoors and photograph the girls. Chloe enjoyed the sunshine too. 😊

🌹

Chloe would like to introduce the last lovely lady, her sister Ellen. Drum roll please……..

Here is Ellen, a later 66 NP with lovely graphic eyes and just a hint of eyelashes. She is wearing a beautiful studio outfit by Ginny of a Passion for Sasha. Her wonderful leather shoes were made by Marti Murphy. ❤

🌹 Ellen 🌹

I love this outfit with the ruffles at the neckline and cuffs. It fits perfectly and the colors are lovely. ❤

This week on Facebook, the early Sasha dolls were featured to include photos of eye paintings up close. I really enjoyed the photos. So, next are a few photos of eye paintings of these four girls. 😊
