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!

Happy Thanksgiving!

“Happy Thanksgiving to you! It’s me, Gracie! Mummy said we will have turkey for dinner if I can find one here on the farm!” 🙂

“I am not certain where I should look for a turkey except in the refrigerator….maybe if I concentrate really hard…”

“Oh my, here he is! Hello there Tom Turkey! You are so cute, don’t worry, you are safe with me, I am Gracie!”

I Gracie, and Tom Turkey, and all of us here at Sasha Shangri-La wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!! We are very thankful for our blessings. We are sending happy wishes and hugs to you! ❤ xxx

Thankful for Life

This lovely photo of a pair of course dolls taken by Shelly caught my eye and my love for cloth dolls rose up within me and I wrote to Shelly and asked to adopt the sweet, redheaded child. 🙂

She arrived quickly and wonderfully wrapped. Her green checked dress was waiting for her here at Sasha Shangri-La. A soft bunny was waiting too. I love this beautiful girl. She whispered to me that her name is Erin.

If you look closely, you will see a dear little paint mark on Erin’s neck. This is her birthmark which is proof that she was born! 😉

A waterlogue image of Erin. Welcome home pretty girl. 🙂

HELP!!!!!

HELP!!!! Mommy, please help me!!!! I am stuck and can’t get out!!!! Help!!!! [more to come….]

Note: A quick post for today. My dear husband was hit in his truck on the interstate last Thursday. He is fine though suffered trauma to his neck. We are very blessed that his truck protected him from the vehicle that ran into the rear end at a high speed. This is the week of Thanksgiving here in the States and I am indeed giving thanks daily for life and for our many blessings. ❤

Thank you for visiting. Have a beautiful day! 🙂 xxx

See a Penny and Pick it Up……

Image

Heidi came outside to enjoy a sunny day. Though it is windy, it is also warmer temperatures than we have seen for a while which is nice!

Heidi is a delightful repaint by Janet Myhill-Dabbs. Heidi is wearing a very pretty dress by Ruthsdolls and leather shoes that were made by Jean Jensen. 🙂

Heidi is holding a fuzzy bear and enjoying the day.

Suddenly, she noticed something shiny laying on the ground. Oh my Heidi, it is a shiny penny! Heidi said “Mommy, we must pick it up! The saying is: See a penny and pick it up and all the day you’ll have good luck. I want us to have good luck!”

Heidi reached for the penny and said with excitement “Penny!”

Then, suddenly Heidi was joined by her newest sister! “Hi there Heidi, it’s me, Penny. Did you call for me?”

Heidi was so glad to see Penny. She said “No, I found a penny and I picked it up and I was so excited that I exclaimed PENNY. Now I will be lucky all day! See, with you joining me, I am already lucky dear Penny.” ❤

“Oh thank you dear Heidi. I feel lucky too!” said Penny.

Then Heidi gave Penny her penny to tuck in her belt for luck. She also gave Penny her fuzzy bear to keep as her own. 🙂

“Thank you dear sister, look, I am already lucky and I love my fuzzy bear very much!” ❤

Penny came to us from Shelly’s site. She is a very early Gotz girl with no mold line and was probably made in 1965. She has yellow eyes with lashes and eye shadow and gorgeous soft and shiny red hair. She is also a button nose girl. Some may call her a no-nose or a monkey face girl I like button nose better and I think it is a much more flattering word to use to descibe this special girl. ❤

A close up photo of Penny with her penny. 🙂

Penny came to us wearing an original Girl Guide outfit that was made to look like a Swiss Guide outfit of the 1960’s. 🙂

As nice as this outfit is, we have safely wrapped it and stored it away for another day. Penny is so excited to try on a new outfit!

Penny is wearing a lovely outfit made by Fanny Boiten of Switzerland. The shoe maker is unknown. I love this outfit! ❤

I think these colors look so nice on Penny. 🙂

Bringing in the turquoise color at the neckline, sleeve cuffs and the waistband of the apron really compliments these Fall colors beautifully. ❤

Happy Fall dear Penny!

A closer view of Penny. 🙂

An even closer view of this sweet girl. 🙂

My personal favorite photo of dear Penny. We both thank you for visiting us today. We hope you enjoyed this post of Heidi in her new outfit and also meeting her new sister, Penny. 🙂
