Sasha Shangri-La

A quiet trip to the post office to retrieve a box sent from the UK.  It was posted on Monday and arrived on Thursday of the same week.  Wonderful postal services!

Out of the box quickly and my heart was beating fast.  A lovely Sasha studio girl and she told me immediately that her name is Edith. ❤

I added a white pinafore, socks and leather shoes and some unmentionables too.  Last, I placed a vintage, pink silk ribbon in her hair.  Edith is a delight. ❤

My dear husband took these photos of me with Edith. I think he could tell how very happy I was to be holding Edith.  His grandmother was also named Edith. 🙂

A quiet moment together. ❤

A final photo of Edith and me.  Of course, I could not forget to acknowledge our dear girl, Shelby who is always by my side.  Welcome home dear Edith.  We hope you will be happy at Sasha Shangri-La! ❤

Thank you for visiting with us today. Have a wonderful rest of the week and enjoy your weekend! 🙂 xxx

Finally, we are having nice weather which is not in the 90’s and the humidity is low and so this encourages going outdoors for photos. I am glad to take outdoor photos of Markus.

Markus is wearing a wonderful outfit made by Thu Cuc Faes.  I have shown the outfit before on the blog and Ben was wearing it at that time.  Ben is also a studio doll but he has a cloth body.  This outfit also fits Markus very well as do his shoes.

Markus was happy to try on some new “threads”. 🙂

The white shirt has long sleeves and his vest or waist coat looks so nice.

I really am very taken with Markus. ❤

Some close up photos of Markus.

You may remember that Marcus arrived wearing his original scout outfit. I really like him in shorts because it shows his nice legs. 🙂

So, with a little bit of mix and matching of clothing, here is Markus wearing his scout shorts and shoes, the white shirt from the previous outfit and a cardigan knitted by Janet Myhill-Dabbs. 🙂

I think blue is a nice color for Markus. 🙂

A close up photo.

I love the waves and the hair texture in his wig. ❤

Markus from a different side.  He has his share of scrapes and scratches as most boys do. 😉

I cannot decide which side is Markus’s best side.  Thoughts anyone?

Janet knitted a matching hat too. 🙂

Hello Markus.  It is so nice to see you. 🙂

More of Markus for you to see.

Back when I was in high school, a boy this handsome would have been called “dreamy” or “a hunk”…..today I would say a handsome lad. 🙂

I hope you have enjoyed this “More of Markus” post.  We thank you for visiting with us today. 🙂

Markus and I both wish you a very happy day and a happy week to come. 🙂 xxx

A couple of waterlogue images to enjoy. ❤

Some of you may remember Whitney a beautiful Cora doll that was rerooted by the talented Sarah Williams . Sarah then braided her hair and created over 150 individual braids.  Recently on eBay, I noticed a cloth doll with an amazing outfit made of material that is hand woven and the doll was about 16 inches tall so I bought the cute cloth doll and thought her outfit just might fit a Sasha doll. 🙂

Whitney was the first to volunteer to try on the outfit.  It really fits nicely though it is not quite large enough in the waist but the top covers the waistline.  The material is so nice and it came with the belt and the woven shoulder bag.  The cloth doll also had handmade sandals but they were too wide for Whitney so she selected a pair of JJ brown leather sandals to compliment her outfit.

You look very pretty Whitney! 🙂

The back of her outfit and her many braids. ❤

A closer look at the hand woven fabric. 🙂

Whitney’s shoulder bag up close. 🙂

A clever idea to ensure your doll manages to hang-on to their shoulder bag.  Just a snap and the bag is secure. 🙂

Whitney has become friends with the new cloth doll that loaned her outfit to her and she wants to introduce her friend to you. 🙂

Hello there generous one.  Whitney is so happy to be your friend and she wants to introduce you on the blog. What is your name? 🙂

I can see that you and Whitney are about the same size.  You have lovely stitched fingers and a ring too!

And your lovely woven fabric sandals also show your pretty stitched toes.  What is your name? 🙂

“Hi, my name is Wren.  I really like Whitney too and she went to the closet and found this pretty dress made by Molly for me to wear.  I think Whitney looks so nice in my yellow pants outfit and it is great for me to try on new clothes too!”  Well, welcome Wren and I hope you enjoy your time here at Sasha Shangri-La. 🙂

Whitney went back outdoors to welcome another new friend named Otis.  I adopted Otis from Janet Myhill-Dabbs and Janet made his outfit too. ❤

Otis is an earlier Caleb with really nice eyes. Whitney shared her zebra with Otis so he would have a play toy. 🙂

Otis is a wonderful boy and he really likes the outdoors. 🙂

A photo of Otis.  His shoes are gray leather slip ons. I love this outfit. 🙂

Hi Otis. 🙂

A very handsome boy. 🙂

Otis up close. ❤

We thank you for visiting with us today.  Our weather has greatly improved in the past few days with the high temperatures being in the 80’s instead of the 90’s and higher.  We like going outdoors to play and taking photos.  Please have a great day and also a great week to come. 🙂 xxx
