A Little Joy on a Snowy Day

Image

image
I thought I would post a few photos of Joy, a 1966 NP, on this cold and snowy day.

image
A photo taken from the window this morning after the snow began to fall. The weatherman predicts 12-20 inches of snow to fall today.  It is nice to be home. ❀

image
Joy has blue eyes. πŸ™‚

image
I love this pretty smocked dress made by Millie Dingham.

image
I put a dark green corduroy dress made by Ruth’s Dolls on Joy. Β A nice member of the facebook Sasha group asked for photos of our redhead dolls wearing green. So Joy came to mind. πŸ™‚

image
Joy’s leather boots are marked Ruth’s Dolls and her green socks were made by Lorraine Tyler.

A closer view of Joy.

A happy day with Joy. πŸ™‚

Sisters at Sasha Shangri-La

Image

image
This is a very sweet young lady named Tilly. She is an English production, 1967 NP girl and she has just learned that a new sister has arrived at Sasha Shangri-La. πŸ™‚

image
Tilly’s dark green cord dress, socks and shoes were made by Ruth’s dolls. Her colorful and interesting pinafore was made by Molly.

image
Tilly is happily thinking about her new sister and wonders when they will meet because Mummy said it would be soon. πŸ™‚

image
“I do hope my new sister will arrive soon! Β I love her already. ❀

image
This is Zoey, a 1967 English production NP.  Zoey was a Christmas present from my husband.  I love her. ❀

image
Zoey is wearing a lovely studio outfit made by Heidi Wheeler. Β Her white leather shoes were made by Jean Jensen. πŸ™‚

image
A very pretty outfit for little Zoey. Β She is a pleasure to dress. πŸ™‚

image
Zoey is so excited because she has just learned she has a new sister! Β Zoey wondered what her new sister would be like and thought “Oh joy! Β I can’t wait to meet her!” πŸ™‚

image
Quite alone and very, very, very shy is a most sweet, little girl who is wondering where she is and she just feels like crying. 😦

image
“My new Mummy cleaned me up, brushed my hair and tied with with a ribbon, and dressed me in this new outfit by Ruth’s Dolls. I think it is a lovely dress and it fits me perfectly as do my new leather shoes. Mummy was very loving but I am alone now and I wonder what will happen next!” 😦

image
“Mummy did say my new sisters will be here soon to greet me but I am a bit afraid. Will they like me?”

image
Next, dear Tilly happily greeted her new sister and shared that she was thrilled to meet her. Β She said “my name is Tilly. Β What is your name sweet sister?” πŸ™‚

image
At first, Tilly’s sister said nothing and she felt she had lost her voice and could not speak. 😦

image
Tilly looked kindly and said, “Please do not be shy. You are much loved here at Sasha Shangri-La.” Tilly comforted her sister.

image
Having heard Tilly’s voice, Zoey joined them and reached out to assure her new sister that she was part of a loving family. ❀

image
Then Zoey said “Welcome dear sister! My name is Zoey and please tell us your name.”

image
So the newest sister, a shy one, finally mustered up a very, very soft response “Jessie”.

image
A closer look at three 1967 NP girls, Tilly, Jessie, and Zoey.

image
Jessie is just the sweetest little girl. She is a bit of a waif with her cut hair and her more than fair share of rubs and dings caused by being a doll of play. I was lucky to adopt her from Shelly’s site and I absolutely adore her!!!

image
Then, without any hesitation, Tilly removed her pinafore and lovingly gave it to Jessie. She explained to Jessie that she wanted to give her something to help her feel like she belonged in her new family. πŸ™‚

image
Tilly said “Jessie, please put it on and when you wear it, please think of me, your sister that loves you! ❀

image
So Jessie put on the gifted pinafore with help from her sisters. Tilly and Zoey both told her how pretty she looked. Jessie felt very pretty. πŸ™‚

image
They asked Jessie if she liked her pinafore and after a moment, Jessie said Β “Yes, thank you!”

image
Shy little Jessie is now starting to feel at ease and at home. She really likes her new sisters Tilly and Zoey. She likes her new Mummy too. She thinks she is a lucky little girl. πŸ™‚

image
Jessie realized that she was overwhelmed in her heart with beautiful feelings of love for her family and she thought “I am loved” ❀

image
Next, Zoey came to Jessie’s side and gave her a wonderful teddy. πŸ™‚

image
Zoey shared ” I have loved this teddy for a long time and I want you to have him Jessie. When you give him hugs, think of me and know that you are loved.” ❀

image
Jessie softly said “Thank you Zoey”

image
Jessie feels very happy now. She has a new outfit, a new pinafore, a new teddy and all are gifts from her loving family. ❀

image
“Wow wee, I feel loved!” Jessie exclaimed. ❀

image
Thank you for visiting Sasha Shangri-La today and I hope you enjoyed this post. Jessie sends you a big hug and happy wishes for the week to come! πŸ™‚ xxx
