At the 2016 Sasha Festival, Janet gave a lovely talk about how she came to create her Sasha Doll Project and her inspiration from Sasha doll books.  She created their outfits, fashioned the wigs, rerooted some, and her talented hands repainted all of them. It was wonderful to see them all together for the first time and wonderful for Janet to see this reunion. 😊

Janet received kind support and encouragement from Beth Whiehouse and get mother Elizabeth Mizerek, Anne Votaw, Laura Ward, and from Sheila Foery.  Plus the owners of the dolls who graciously sent or brought their dolls to be displayed.  Many thanks to everyone who helped to make this display happen. 🙂

I am so happy to have seen Janet’s beautiful dolls all together and in person.  Thanks again to everyone supporting this lovely display and special thanks to Janet for bringing many of the dolls over in her suitcase so that they would be a part of the Festival. ❤

RAFFLES

The first raffle was just wonderful and included two babies, beds, furniture, clothing, and cuddly things.  Francine Briggs won this raflle! Congratulations Francine! 🙂

The second raffle was a fantastic Maria Gotz doll in the tube with many accessories to include shoes, socks, purses, folding chair, basket, quilt, outfits and a lovely note from a lovely lady that had also won the doll with all of her items in a raffle long ago.  Very, very touching to see Sasha history in this raffle.<3

Plus, I won this raffle!  I was so surprised and it is the first raffle I have ever won!

A raffle winner in disbelief! 🙂

This wonderful raffle featuring “Peter” was won by Robert McGarity. 🙂

The lovely 4th raffle with a beautiful doll and wardrobe.  I understand that one of the young girls won the 4th raffle but I do not have a name.

Thank you for visiting the blog today and I hope you enjoyed the photos.  Next time, I will share different festival events and gatherings and a lot of wonderful studio doll photos.  Have a great week! 🙂 xxx

I will try to catch up on the lovely Festival events.  There were 82 auction items plus nine more added at the end.  Most of the dolls in the photos were models only. However, items # 16, 23, 33, 43, 51, 61, 69, 76, and 82 included the dolls and everything you see. I apologize for any gaps in the lineup as I took my photos early on. Plus the items added at the end were after I took the photos.  The generosity of our lovely Sasha friends is just wonderful and what a special group of people.  A lot of money was raised for the children’s charity!   I had a wonderful time. 🙂

The next post will be raffle items and Janet’s display of her amazing Sasha Studio doll renditions. ❤️

#76 in memory of Jean Jensen. ❤️

Have a wonderful week everyone and sending hugs to you! 🙂 xxx

A quick post of the helpers. There are 80 more helper items not shown here because they ran out of room. So, after the helpers are called tonight, the remaining helper items will be put out for us to try and win!  I hope you don’t mind these quick posts! 🙂

Hi it’s me Gracie!  I am having such a great time! Here in Mummy’s room, it is nice to see everyone visiting. 😊

There were wonderful displays available for photo opportunities.  I am sitting with my cousins from England.    The sweetie on the left belongs to Auntie Janet and the sweetie girl on the right belongs to Auntie Tricia. ❤️

Mommy only took this scene and was called away to visit with wonderful Sasha friends. 😊
