Drew Welcomes New Brunette Boys to Sasha Shangri-La

Image

Drew is a handsome 1968 Trendon boy with NP style eyes. We have been trying to find his puppy but he must be hiding. So Drew said this would be a good time to give the newly arrived boys a puppy to love and play with on the farm. 🙂

Drew’s wonderful sweater was knitted by Diane Duke who sells on Etsy. 🙂

Drew is a very thoughtful boy! 🙂

His distressed leather boots were made by Lisa in the UK. 🙂

Well, here is Brodie dressed in a Kaffe Fassett designed sweater with matching hat and hand knitted by Diane Duke. I love Diane’s knitted treasures! Drew is so happy to greet Brodie. He told me earlier that he thought for a long time that I was only adopting girls. 🙂

Drew brings a sweet puppy for Brodie to love. Brodie’s leather boots were made by Jean Jensen. 🙂

“Thank you Drew, I will take good care of him.” said Brodie. 🙂

Brodie and Drew, both 1968 brunette boys and now brothers. ❤

Happy brothers. 🙂

Brodie up close. I found Brodie last weekend while on a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio. 🙂

More photos of Brodie. ❤

Brodie with his new puppy. Brodie has radiating lines in his irises that make his eyes very special. 🙂

We are so happy that Brodie joined the family. 🙂

Brodie and puppy. 🙂

Bronson is so happy to meet his new brother! Drew! 🙂

Drew handed a dear, happy puppy to Bronson and said “Welcome Bronson! We are so glad you are here!” 🙂

Bronson’s sweater and matching hat were knitted by Diane Duke and they are also a Kaffe Fassett design. His red leather boots were made by Jean Jensen. Bronson is very excited to meet Drew and to have his own puppy! 🙂

Happy brothers. 🙂

Bronson looks very handsome in his new outfit. 🙂

Bronson is a waif boy recently found on ebay and he just arrived at Sasha Shangri-La. ❤

Welcome to the family Bronson. Your puppy is so cute! 🙂

Bronson is fitting in very well with his brothers. 🙂

Drew pauses to say hello to Nico. Nico has been here on the farm for a while but has yet to be introduced. Nico is a 1967 brunette Trendon NP. Nico came to Sasha Shangri-La carrying this sweet lion and he loves to play with him. 🙂

Drew said to Nico, “Let me officially welcome you to Sasha Shangri-La and give you back your lion to love.” ❤

“Thanks Drew! I do wish we could go outdoors but it is rainy today.” 😦

Nico’s sweater and matching hat are another Kaffe Fassett design and hand knitted by Diane. His leather boots were made by Jean Jensen. 🙂

Very handsome Nico and Drew. ❤

Nico and Bronson, 1967 boys and now brothers. ❤

Some photos of Nico up close. 🙂

Nico is a shy boy. 🙂

Nico is also very sweet. He came to us wearing the blue demin outfit with white sandals. 🙂

Nico is a very cute boy too! 🙂

Welcome dear Nico! ❤

The boys lined up for a group photo of the brothers. Each boy looks different from the other. It is nice that they have their own look and own personalities. (I hope we find Drew’s puppy soon). 🙂

The boys are waving goodbye and sending you hugs. Thank you for visiting with us and we hope you enjoyed this welcoming post. We are sending you happy wishes for the week to come! Lastly, a few Waterlogue images for you to enjoy. 🙂 xxx

Golden Girls……Ga Ga for Gotz

Image

These are the earlier, golden eyed Gotz girls that live here at Sasha Shangri-La. ❤

This sweet girl has been introduced before and her name is Diana. She is dressed in a Ruthsdolls outfit with an added bolero. 🙂

Next is the confident Amber and she has also been introduced before. She is wearing a dress made by Frances Tricket. 🙂

You may remember this lovely girl named Mae. Her dress was made by Jadzia. 🙂

The lone brunette is the beautiful Briana and she is wearing a new dress by Molly and leather sandals by Paula of 4-Angels. Oh how I love those brows! ❤

This very beautiful and early redheaded girl has a no mold line torso which makes her my earliest Gotz girl. Her name is Rae and she is newly adopted. Her dress was made by Hagnolly and her t-shirt was bought from Sashapotamus. Her checked fabric shoes were made by Ruthsdolls. ❤

This lovely and very early girl also has a no mold line torso. Her dress has a tiny tag that informs “Made in France”. Her rose colored soft leather shoes were from Sashapotamus. Her name is Annie and she is also newly adopted. ❤

The redheaded girls look very different from one another and that is easy to see when you put them beside each other. Amber is a 1966 girl with a small head and Rae is a 1965 girl with a large head. I really love the hand painting of the eyes and brows on the 60’s Gotz dolls. Each girl is very unique in appearance and personality too. 😉

The blonde golden girls Diana, Mae and Annie. They are also very different from one another in appearance. Annie is the earliest girl and was made in 1965. 🙂

A happy trio! 🙂

Another trio photo. 🙂

A few photos of Briana. I love her new butterfly dress made by Molly. I added a butterfly hairclip too. ❤

Briana’s leather sandals were made by Paula of 4-Angels. A fun flower accent. 🙂

Another photo of sweet Briana. 🙂

Hello Rae! I thought to take photos angled from the side. Rae’s hair is very long and silky. 🙂

A lovely full view of Rae. She is a very kind girl and she loves to read. 😉

I really love the soft and silky hair on all of these golden girls. This shade of red is so very nice too! ❤

Annie is a pretty girl. 🙂

I wonder what she may be thinking about? 😉

A full length view of Annie for you to see. 🙂

In closing, a watercolor of Rae generated by the computer. Rae and I both thank you for visiting us here at Sasha Shangri-La and we hope you enjoyed this Golden Girl post. 🙂

Annie and I are sending you Sasha hugs and happy wishes for a wonderful weekend! 🙂 xxx

Briana

Image

Every day has been rainy lately but I took a few photos in between drops yesterday. Briana is a new addition to the Sasha Shangri-La family. 🙂

Briana is a yellow eyed Gotz girl with dainty lashes and was made in 1965. She is wearing an original Gotz outfit. ❤

The rain came and back indoors we went! 😦

Briana’s hair is very soft and silky. 🙂

A close up photo of pretty Briana. ❤

Thank you for visiting Sasha Shangri-La. Briana and I are sending you hugs and wishing you all a beautiful week to come. 🙂 xxx

Ra Ra for Gracie and No Ra Ra for Ellie

Image

Hi everyone, my name is Gracie! I have missed writing on the blog lately and Mummy changed her password. So, I am writing today with Mummy’s blessing to share with you some of the new outfits we received here at Sasha Shangri-La that were made by the very talented Sharon Humphreys. I am wearing my first ever ra-ra outfit and I love it! 🙂

Do you like my dotted socks? They are so soft and fit me perfectly.

Mummy asked Auntie Sharon to make two toddler outfits for girls and one for a boy. When the outfits arrived, I just knew that one of them was for me, Gracie! 🙂

Here is a full view of my new pretty outfit!

Yummy cupcakes!!! I wish I had a real cupcake. These are super nice especially since they cannot be eaten and so, will always be there. 😉

Oh no, it is my sweet sister, Ellie. She is crying because she does not have a ra-ra outfit to wear. She said that Betsy and Johnny put their new outfits on and there was no outfit left for her to wear. 😦

I feel so bad and I tell Ellie that she can have my ra-ra outfit. Dear, sweet Ellie told me that she loves me so very much that she could not wear my ra-ra outfit because she knows how much I love it. So, I remember another new outfit that did not fit me and I ask dear Ellie if she would like to try it on. 🙂

Ellie is very shy but she said she would like to see it. 🙂

See Ellie, here are the pretty white tights and look at this pretty dress that is just your size. 🙂

Look Ellie, I think these new shoes are perfect for your new dress and tights. 🙂

Ellie, look at the dress tag, it says it was made with love by the Doll Works. I think it is very special to have a dress that was made with love. ❤

Ellie is so excited. She said “Look, the tights and shoes fit me perfectly.” 🙂

“I sure hope the dress fits me too!” Ellie shared.

I told Ellie that the dress fits perfectly and she looks pretty! 🙂

Ellie shares that she loves her new outfit even though it is not a ra-ra outfit. ❤

Ellie and I are happy sisters and we are now going to join our sister Betsy and brother Johnny oudoors. 🙂

Well, here we are outdoors and sitting on Dad’s new fishing boat. It was his birthday present and he is so happy! 🙂

It is so nice to be together and be outdoors on a beautiful day.

Don’t I look pretty in my new outfit?

Johnny is waving hello. He loves his outfit that Sharon has made just for him. What a darling little doggie and the pants fit him perfectly. Mummy said she loved the little elastic in the waistline which helped to fit him better. 🙂

Johnny wanted to show you all his new socks too. They match his shirt and he loves them very much. ❤

Look at sweet Betsy sitting up high and wearing her new ra-ra outfit. What a pretty green skirt and top with a bee hive, flower, a butterfly and a bow too! Betsy says she loves her socks too. I think we all love Auntie Sharon’s socks and outfits very much indeed! Thank you Auntie Sharon! 🙂

A photo of just us girls. Johnny did not mind at all, he would rather be fishing with Dad! 😉

We are waving to you all. Oh what a happy day for us toddlers at Sasha Shangri-La! 🙂

We are sending big hugs to you and we thank you for visiting us. We hope you have a wonderful week to come! 🙂 xxx

p.s. It’s me Gracie and I wanted to send extra big hugs to you all and I want to say that I am just so very happy to live here with my brothers and sisters and we all love each other very much. We all especially love Mummy and Daddy. Oh happy days!

Please Welcome Gertie and Heidi to Sasha Shangri-La

Image

This is my darling Gertie that was repainted by Janet Myhill-Dabbs recently. She is a twin to Janet’s “Edith” and they were both on display at the recent Sasha Celebration weekend in the UK. Gertie has really touched my heart in a very special way. ❤

Gertie came to me in this lovely outfit and it is perfect with her coloring. ❤

A nice closer view of Gertie. She was previously a Pinntucks girls before her repainting. Janet dyed her wig and styled it into plaits which I love ❤

Gertie was barefooted so I added the hand knitted socks and nice leather JJ shoes.

A side view of Gertie. Gertie was inspired by a vinyl girl that sold on ebay recently and she was handpainted by Sasha Morgenthaler. 🙂

A closer view of Gertie. It was windy that day so please ignore the wayward hairs strands.

Another full length view of sweet Gertie. ❤

She looks nice with her plaits behind her shoulders too. I am totally smitten and so I took many photos. ❤

A real close-up photo for you to see. I am so amazed at Janet’s artistic talents and her other talents too. 🙂

This sweet girl is Heidi and she was previously a 70’s Trendon girl and Janet has wonderfully repainted her face. ❤

Some of you may have seen Heidi on facebook where Janet showed her in this farm pants outfit with duffle coat. Also, some of you may have seen Heidi on display at the recent Sasha Celebration weekend. Heidi’s eye painting was inspired by a very early Gotz girl that sold on ebay recently and that girl was wearing this outfit. 🙂

Heidi’s dress was made by Frances Trickett. If you look closely, you will see tiny little beads that line the neck and arm openings on this wonderful dress. Such nice detailing. Heidi’s white leather sandals were made by Jean Jensen. 🙂

A closer view of Heidi’s pretty face. 🙂

I took a few photos of Heidi with Gertie. They both traveled to Sasha Shangri-La in the same box and have become great friends! 🙂

A full length view of Heidi and Gertie. 🙂

Hi there girls, are you taking-in your new surroundings? 😉

A final photo and both girls and I want to kindly thank you for visiting us here at Sasha Shangri-La. We are sending you big hugs and happy wishes for a wonderful weekend to come! 🙂 xxx
