Finn is always the first one to volunteer to help with chores here at Sasha Shangri-La.  Finn is no stranger to work and, in fact, Finn loves being active every chance he gets.  His ever-faithful pup, Fetch joined him. 🙂

This time Finn is helping my son wash his truck.

My son has a Ford F150 Truck which is a pretty big truck to me! 🙂

Luckily Finn likes a challenge! 🙂

Afterwards, Finn rests by the state license plate. He likes the deer plate and we do enjoy watching the many deer here on the farm. 🙂

Tires look very nice to me.  But my son has already replaced these wheels with new ones that he says are much better!

Finn and I liked these wheels very much and we really don’t understand buying new ones. But, my son doesn’t understand the buying and selling of Sasha dolls. So, each to his own! 😉

After washing the truck, Finn helped to carry in the groceries. 🙂

I was so thankful to have his help and Fetch’s help too! I took several photos of Finn around the VW Jetta while unloading the groceries.

Finn’s vest was knitted by Linda Simpson. I love it!   I hope you will forgive the use of these slip-on tennis shoes.  I didn’t feel up to wrestling with the laces on the tennis shoes that Finn normally wears and Finn said it was okay though he thinks they are “girly” shoes!  For those of you that do not know Finn, he is a 1967 English production NP with all platinum hair. ❤

A last photo of my beloved Finn waving goodbye. We thank you for visiting us and we wish you a beautiful weekend to come! 🙂 xxx

Speaking of beautiful days, I took this photo last weekend while waiting in my car at the local Home Depot store. It was a glorious day and I couldn’t resist taking a photo of its beauty. ❤

Lucy is a most remarkable Sasha doll. I bought her from a UK seller on facebook who had rerooted a previous Gregor doll to create Lucy.   Later last summer, I took Lucy to the Sasha Festival in Phoenix and Lucy was then repainted by the very talented hands of Cassie Rogers. 🙂

The amazing cumulative result of the rerooting and repainting work you see here in the lovely Lucy. 🙂

Lucy is wearing a sunny checked dress that is unlabeled. Her sunny dotted socks were made by the talented Sharon Humphreys and her fun, orange leather shoes were made by Jean Jensen. 🙂

A closer view of Lucy. 🙂

Lucy has a furry friend here at Sasha Shangri-La that she is very fond of and loves to hug! 🙂 xxx

Lucy loves Fozzie Bear!

Fozzie Bear is a very lovable bear with a wonderful big smile! 🙂

A happy pair of friends! 🙂

Just spending time together. 🙂

Lucy has won many hearts here on the farm. ❤

And Fozzie Bear is one of those hearts. ❤

A last photo of Lucy today. We both thank you for stopping by the blog and we are sending you happy wishes for the rest of your week to come. 🙂

Note: Lucy has been by my bedside during my recent recovery time and I have really enjoyed her sweet face looking my way.  Her sunny outfit and beautiful face really helped to cheer me up.  I love Lucy! ❤  xxx

I thought it would be a very nice way to kick off the introductions of two new additions to the Sasha Shangri-La family by posting their cheery little faces on my 100th blog post, a notable milestone!  So, I am popping the cork of celebration by first introducing the petite Marcie. Marcie was adopted from the loving home of Ellen Church. She is a 1970 Gotz no navel with beautiful blue eyes and remarkable red hair. ❤

Marcie came in her original blue cord farm pant outfit with white blouse and white leather sandals. Ellen kindly added this wonderful blue sweater knitted by Christine Durand. It really brings out the blue of Marcie’s eyes. 🙂

Ellen also included the information and photos posted on Shelly’s site in 2008 when Ellen adopted her. It is so nice to have information about a doll’s history. 🙂

A closer view of sweet Marcie. 🙂

Blue is a very good color for Marcie. I will be redressing her soon and showing her on the blog with some of her Gotz sisters. 🙂

I just love her hair styling and the sheer volume of her hair, along with this shade of red, is a delight!!! ❤

Marcie relaxing with a new teddy to hold. ❤

Marcie up close. 🙂

The next four photos were taken by Ellen and I wanted to share them so you could see Marcie so beautifully redressed.

I hope you have enjoyed meeting Marcie.  I just love her! ❤

The second addition is a very different kind of Sasha doll repainted by Kelly Wenarsky. Kelly named her “Sepia” and she is marked and dated on her foot. Kelly wrote that she is a 1980’s Sasha doll, (English production), and said that she was a “unique being” and a study of color. The next three photos were taken by Kelly and you can see the care-free creation that Kelly has put forward. She dressed her in a slip and bloomers that she dyed to support her having more of an ethereal or elfish persona. I was so taken in with this beautiful child doll, that a nick name immediately came to me and so I affectionately call her “Tink”, a derivative of the well known “Tinker Bell” and very befitting. 😉

I recently purchased a beautiful dress made by Pine Street Studio and the coloring of the outfit I thought would be just right for Tink.

This dress is so nicely made of linen and with the perfect addition of a velvet waist sash along with a pair of coordinated bloomers. 🙂

I added a headband to “tame” Tink’s hair a bit. 😉

But the back of her hair remains wild and wispy! 😉

Tink up close. 🙂

Tink easily found a puppy friend. All of the animal friends here on the farm were immediately drawn to Tink. They feel very safe and connected to Tink and very loved by her.  A very unique kinship. ❤

A touching moment. 🙂

Tink’s well made brown leather shoes are by Betsy May and her striped knitted socks were found on Shelly’s site. 🙂

Tink up close for you to see. 🙂

A last photo of Tink and I hope you have enjoyed viewing this 100th blog post for Sasha Shangri-La plus the two new Sasha dolls that are well loved here on the farm. We thank you for visiting and we are all sending you loving hugs and happy wishes for a wonderful week to come! 🙂 xxx
