Sasha Shangri-La

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

Though still fighting this terrible bug, Finn and I could not let this lovely, sunny Easter Day go by without wishing you all a very blessed Easter Day! ❤ xxx

So wonderful to feel the warmer air and the sun’s rays on your face! The earth is waking up after a long winter’s sleep. 🙂

Betsy is enjoying the day outdoors. She is leaning against a shed that managed to survive not only the pounding and weight of ice and snow but also the tremendous weight of a pine tree that landed on its roof!

Betsy is wearing a cheery jacket made by Ginny of a Passion for Sasha and crisp new jeans made by Judith of Dollydoodles. 🙂

Betsy was not alone as her twin sister Ellie and new brother, Johnny joined in the fun!

As you can see, my dear husband has been working hard sawing the fallen trees into logs.

You can see the base of one of the fallen trees on top of the hill.

The toddlers just think it is fun in the sun but Daddy thinks it is work! I put a sheet down to protect their new outfits.  Though it is sunny, the ground is damp and cold from the recent snow fall and melting.

Sweet Ellie is wearing a lovely new sweater and hat knitted by Diane Duke and she has crisp, new jeans like Betsy’s and made by Judith of Dollydoodles. ❤

Hi there Johnny! Johnny is wearing a handsome knitted sweater and hat by Diane Duke and his bright red corduroy pants are Dollydoodles! Johnny is a dear little boy. 🙂

Another Johnny photo. 🙂

Some family play time photos. 🙂

Such fun to climb and roll around. 🙂

Dear Betsy up close. ❤

Toddlers at a distance.

Toddlers up close and sending you all hugs! Thank you for visiting us on the Farm and have a warm amd wonderful weekend! 🙂 xxx
