Adeline’s Christmas Dress

Image

image
Adeline is very happy to model her new Christmas outfit made by Karen Warnaka. I love Karen’s dresses with the beautiful smocking and her amazing wool jackets and coats. This outfit was made for sweet Adeline to wear for Christmas. ❀

image
Adeline is a 1967 English production NP.   I love her beautiful brown eyes and jet black hair. ❀

image
The wool jacket fits her perfectly. The silver heart buttons are so nice to see.

image
Lovely color for Adeline. Β The flowers are a very soft and pretty addition. πŸ™‚

image
Adeline’s red leather shoes are made by Jean Jensen. ❀

Santa Swap Revealed by Finn

Image

image
Finn is so happy today! He opened all the Santa Swap gifts that came all of the way from the UK. Β Finn is sending hugs and thanks to Rosie Laird for her thoughtfulness on behalf of Santa!!! Here you see the fantastic cabled sweater jacket with hood. The buttons are each a different item used outdoors and just perfect for the outdoor-loving Finn! The skate board was a gift for the boys here at Sasha Shangri-La and is certain to be used a lot. πŸ™‚

image
This beautiful ornament was a gift for Mum and is a dazzling Balleek snowflake that will be front and center on our Christmas tree!

image
As you can see, Finn also received a warm knitted hat, scarf, socks, and mittens that are just wonderful! πŸ™‚

image
I think these orange tones are Finn’s best colors especially when combined with the blue colors.

A last photo of Finn who is joined by his pup Fetch and they are admiring the lovely Santa gifts of Christmas 2014.  Fetch is really eyeing the candy canes found tucked away in the stocking. Thank you so very much Rosie and Santa! Ho, Ho, Ho!!! ❀ xxx

The Beauty of Sasha Studio Dolls

Image

image
The beauty of a Sasha Morgenthaler studio doll is what first brought me to the wonderful world of collecting Sasha dolls.

image
This beauty is a Sasha studio doll with a “B” type, cloth body and a “III” type facemask. Her name is “Marie” and I never tire of looking at her beautiful, unique eyes, lovely expression and perfect human hair wig. ❀

image
Marie came with this original Sasha outfit. Β It is a wonderful color for her.

image
A Sasha tag is always nice to see. πŸ™‚

image
Marie is very dear to me. ❀

image
I hope you enjoy seeing Marie up close too.

image
Marie is totally devoted to Gracie and welcomes her baby sister to sit on her lap. πŸ™‚

image
Sisters. ❀

image
Tender moments. ❀

Hi everyone! Mummy is in the kitchen again and it sure smells wonderful here at Sasha Shangri-La. Β With Mummy away, it’s time for another “Gracie” blog post! Β We received a big, wonderful box from Thu Cuc Faes wo lives in Switzerland. Β Mummy was so happy to get this box and look at my new outfit that was found inside! πŸ™‚

image
My brother Bennie has a new outfit too. We look like twins! πŸ™‚

(Bennie is a BII Sasha studio doll and Gracie is a Sasha studio bebe)

 

 

image
I love Bennie! Everyone calls him Ben except me. He is my Bennie! ❀

image
Bennie and me, Gracie! Β We can play outdoors now, yipee!!!

image
When I stand next to Bennie like this, I am taller than he is! πŸ™‚

image
But, when Bennie stands up, he is a bit taller than me…don’t we look nice in our new outfits? Β They fit perfectly!

image
Please hold me Bennie, I feel so wee next to you. Β I need a hug!

image
Well, Bennie found my new red wool, hooded duffle coat to help me feel better. πŸ™‚

image
You know what? Bennie is so smart, I do feel better! πŸ™‚

image
I just love sitting on Bennie’s lap. ❀

image
He is so big and strong.  Bennie told me that God made him strong to help others that are weaker. I know this is true, I can feel it in my heart. ❀

image
But most if all, Bennie is kind and sweet and he loves me. ❀

image
Bennie found this nice wooden sled and it fits me perfectly! πŸ™‚

image
He promised to take me outdoors to ride the sled when we get a good snow. I can’t wait to have fun in the snow. πŸ™‚

A last photo of Bennie and me and we thank you for visiting us here at Sasha Shangri-La. We send you big “Bennie” hugs and sweet “Gracie” kisses too! ❀ xxxooo
