Chloe and Finn

Today, a quick post before going to work of Chloe and Finn wearing lovely outfits made by Janet Myhill Dabbs. I received them just after Christmas and Finn insisted on being first to wear the lederhosen. I think I would have chosen Drew with his dark features to wear them but I cannot resist dear Finn 🙂 Both outfits have such nice detail down to the tiny, silver heart advising “Hand made with Love”. When you hold these outfits in your hands, you can see the great care that was given in their creation. I hope you enjoy the photos. Have a wonderful day!!!

Fringe Row

Today is very snowy outside and cold, brrrrrr, so I stayed home and thought I’d post to the blog. I have three 1968 fringe girls that have made their way to Sasha Shangri-La in the last few years.

Faith, 1968 Fringe

The first fringe girl is the lovely Faith. She is wearing a pretty dress with pinny along with her socks and shoes all from Ruthsdolls.  I love Faith’s vivid blue eyes and her fringe has blended with her hair over time.  I have not tried to tease it out because I like it this way for now.  Faith was my first fringe girl and was made in early 1968. I love her expression which is unforgettable to me.

Fara, 1968 Fringe

The second fringe girl is Fara and she is different than Faith. Her eyes are smaller and her hair styling is wonderful with nice fringe. Also, her hair is full and bouncy and is cut in different layers. Fara is wearing a pretty smocked dress made by Ruthsdolls and pink suede shoes by Jean Jensen (JJ). I love Fara’s sweet expression.

Faye, 1968 Fringe

Last, but not least, is Faye who came to Sasha Shangri-La in September 2013 and so she is a newcomer. Faye’s eyes are delicate and beautiful. She has multi-stroke brows and I can imagine the artist used a very fine brush when painting her eyes. Faye has nice fringe and her hair is not as full as Fara’s but it is full enough. Faye is wearing a pretty smocked apple dress by Molly. It has wonderful crocheted trimming on the cuffs and even on the hem of her pants (she is too shy to show them ;). Her bone colored, leather shoes are from Cassie at Sashapotamus and they fit perfectly. Faye has a beautiful, sophisticated expression.

Baby Ginger and Fringe girls

The fringe girls with their teddy bears and Baby Ginger with her sock monkey. Baby wears a darling smocked dress made by Diane and it has a charming, playful scene. This dress was a nice surprise in a back-to-school swap held by Lorraine last Fall. Baby Ginger’s sock monkey was a Christmas gift from her Mommy and she wrapped her monkey in the wrapping ribbon and reindeer pin as a loving keepsake.

It has been on my mind for some time now to create a Sasha blog. I so admire the artistic talent and the creative hands of Sasha Morgenthaler. Being a member of a couple of Sasha groups, I was taking up a lot of space in those venues from time to time that would be better served on a blog.  So, finally, I am launching a blog!  I have received much joy from other’s Sasha blogs over the years and am very grateful for their time and efforts .  I hope that this blog will bring a measure of delight to those that may read it.
