Abby and Gertie in new dresses

Image

This is Abby, an early Sasha studio doll with a cloth face and yarn braids. She has a type A body and a facemask I, and so she is an AI studio doll. Abby’s limbs were replaced by Trudi Loffler and I have her original worn limbs stored away. I love this beautiful girl. ❤

Abby’s sweet face was painted by Sasha herself and most of us that love Sasha studio dolls can see her hand there—I love Abby’s face. ❤

Abby is wearing a new dress made by the Kathe Kruse factory. Her nice leather, navy sandals were made by Thu Cuc Faes. I think she looks lovely in blue. 🙂

The outfit came in this useful garment bag with labeled wooden hanger and a cute shoulder bag that I forgot to take out. It is nice to know that this size of a Kathe Kruse dress (45-48 cm) will fit a Sasha studio doll or a course doll. 🙂

A full length view of Abby.

Next is dear little Gertie wearing a new summer frock. 🙂

Gertie is wearing a dainty white eyelet blouse with a round collar and puffy sleeves. The blouse came with another outfit and I like it teamed with this pale blue and pink summer dress with pink flowers vining down both sides. Both pieces are untagged and are from Shelly’s site. 🙂

Gertie loves her ragbaby gifted to her by her twin sister Edith and Edith’s Mommy, Janet. Her white leather sandals were made by Jean Jensen. ❤

Gertie up close. ❤

Not the best of light but I tried to show Gertie with one of the few remaining lilies. The resident deer population continues to pluck up the lillies during the night and eat them so we are usually left with just the stems. I imagine that they taste sweet and are maybe a dessert for them. 🙂

Some watercolors (computer made) to enjoy. 🙂

Gertie. ❤

Abby ❤

Abby and I want to thank you for visiting with us here at Sasha Shangri-La. We wish you a beautiful week to come! 🙂 xxx

Mi…Mi…Mi…Mi………Mimi

Image

First, I thought it would be appropriate to show this very sweet photo of a darling little Gotz ponytail girl taken by Sarah Williams. When Sarah posted this photo, she was adopting her out and I was either not quick enough or did not have the financial where-with-all but the result was, she was adopted by another…

Moving forward in time, I saw that Dee in the Village had adopted this dear little girl and I learned her name was Mimi. Moving forward in time again, Dee is looking to adopt Mimi out and, this time, I was the lucky Mommy! 🙂

Mimi has a unique, slightly pouty, slightly sad expression that is so endearing that it enlists your heart and you must pick her up often!!! ❤

If you look to her left side of the mouth, you will see a few small lines or impressions. A similar line or impression was also found near my Marcie’s mouth and I understand that they were made when the head was removed from the mold. So, I am referring to them as “birth marks” and I have one too on my arm. ❤

A photo of Marcie taken by Ellen Church. A beautiful Gotz no navel. ❤

Dee sent Mimi in this sensational, casual outfit including the white patent tennis shoes/trainers. I like this look very much!

Mimi is a go-getter and she motivates others around her, including me! 😉

She captured my heart right out of the box. ❤

Hi Mimi so nice to see you! 🙂

Do you remember when I posted this photo of Whitney wearing one of Sarah’s beautiful creations? At that time I also won a second dress from Sarah with thoughts of Mimi in my mind. I shared this with Sarah because it seemed so fitting that Sarah’s one time Sasha doll should now be wearing a dress made by her. 🙂

Mimi loves her new, very pretty dress!

Mimi up close. 🙂

Mimi selected pink ribbons for her hair. And oh, those pouty pink lips! 🙂

Mimi also selected this rag doll to love. ❤

I reallly like the ponytail Gotz girls and Mimi is the first Gotz ponytail to reside here at Sasha Shangri-La. 🙂

I hope you have enjoyed Mimi’s story in this post. 🙂

I am very happy Mimi is here and wearing her new dress! Thank you Dee and thank you Sarah! ❤

As a parting gift, a watercolor (computer created) of Mimi for you to enjoy. Have a wonderful week to come and, for the sake of pure joy, hug a Sasha that is close to you. 🙂 xxx

Mandy

Whitney has a new sister named Mandy. She is so happy to introduce her to you! 🙂

Whitney is giving a sweet teddy to her sister Mandy. 🙂

Mandy is thrilled to have a new teddy to love. ❤

Mandy is wearing a nice shorts outfit made by Norvell Jones. 🙂

Mandy up close. She is an early Cora with a large silver tag and she came in her white knitted outfit and red leather sandals that I have put away for another day. I love her soft curls and pretty face. ❤

Mandy is wearing red patent sandals that came with an outfit on Shelly’s site. I think red is such a good color for Mandy. ❤

Well, look who is here! Polly has stopped by to meet Mandy and to say hello! Polly is a Nikki repaint and some of you may remember that I have been trying different wigs on her. This wig is very soft and Polly likes it a lot!

Polly is wearing a pretty smocked dress that is not tagged. Whitney wears her lovely turquoise and black dress made by Vintage Sasha. Mandy wanted to wear shorts to play in and she will wear a nice dress on a different occassion.

How nice, Ebo has joined the girls. 🙂

Ebo and Polly.

Ebo was repainted by Shelly Baxter.

Polly and Ebo have been close siblings since Ebo arrived at Sasha Shangri-La. ❤

Ebo is a very kind hearted boy.

I really like this wig on Polly. 🙂

Mandy is happily joining the family. We all wish you a happy weekend ahead. 🙂
Thank you for visiting us and we would like to share a couple of watercolors created on the computer. 🙂 xxx

Gertie Greets Gus

Image

Gertie and I went outdoors to take photos of her in her Dolliepatch outfit since the earlier photos were all taken indoors due to the heavy and long-lasting rains. Gertie especially wanted to go outdoors to introduce her new brother Angus or “Gus”. 🙂

First, a few photos of Gertie to enjoy. Notice her pale aqua under slip. 🙂

Gertie holds her precious rag baby gifted to her by Edith her twin sister and Janet Myhill-Dabbs, Edith’s Mom. Do you see the tiny metal tag on Gertie’s dress? ❤

This is the maker’s tag for Dolliepatch. Lovely. 🙂

Gertie. ❤

A closer view of Gertie’s eyes. ❤

Gertie is so happy to introduce her new brother Gus. Gus was lovingly repainted and wonderfully outfitted by Janet Myhill-Dabbs. ❤

Gertie and Gus getting to know one another. 🙂

Now for some photos of just Gus. I love his outfit and especially his wonderful wool duffle coat! 🙂

A closer view of this dear boy, Gus. He is very polite and has a kind heart. ❤

A nice close up of Gus. Gus was a previous redheaded, blue-eyed Trendon boy that came in the teal colored corduroy outfit. Now, Gus has fantastic brown eyes. ❤

A full length photo for you to see. I love his wool felt boots and handsome trousers. ❤

Gus removed his duffle coat to show you his sweater and trousers and boots. He removed his hat too because he said it was getting too hot! 😉

Wonderful boots!

A perfect fit for Gus. 🙂

I took a few photos of Gus without his hat to show-off his nice red hair!

Gus. 🙂

This one of my favorite photos of our new boy, Gus. 🙂

Gus, deep in thought. 😉

Gus is looking for Gertie to rejoin him.

Gertie puts her rag baby in Gus’s hood. 🙂

Brother and sister enjoying the pretty day. 🙂

A few close up photos taken in the glow of mid-afternoon. 🙂

I hope you enjoyed meeting Gus today. 🙂

Plus I hope you enjoyed seeing Gertie with Gus. 🙂

Gertie and Gus are waving goodbye and sending you hugs and happy wishes for the rest of the week to come. 🙂

We thank you for visiting us here at Sasha Shangri-la and will end this post with a couple of computer-generated water colors. 🙂 xxx

Pretty Pearl Poses

Image

A brief post of the lovely Pearl, a 1966 Trendon girl with brown eyes and red hair. 🙂

Pearl is wearing a sweet sundress with matching pants made by Ruthsdolls. Her white leather sandals were made by Jean Jensen. She is holding her soft teddy. 🙂

The under blouse was made by JoAnn Staricha. Pearl is happy to be outdoors in the warm sunshine. The rain finally let up and allowed us to go outdoors. 🙂

A final photo of pretty Pearl. Thank you for visiting and have beautiful day! 🙂 xxx
