Sasha Studio doll | Sasha Shangri-La

Hello from Sasha Shangri-La

Image

We haven’t posted in quite some time. Without knowing, I had too many photos stored from previous posts which took me over my limit. My previous attempts to post were unsuccessful. So, I have deleted a lot of photos. I hope this action will allow me to post.

This sweet BIV studio doll is named Evie. She came to Sasha Shangri-La this year. I love her and especially her blue eyes.

Evie is wearing a beautiful smocked dress made by Thu Cuc Faes in Switzerland. I love the fabric. Her red leather shoes were made by Ruthsdolls. That is Chloe next to her. She is a 1966 brunette NP.

I hope you enjoyed this short post and I hope it posts! Have a great week! ❤️

It feels good to be back and I thought it should be short and sweet. ❤️

Please Allow Me to Introduce “Lea”

This beautiful young lady just arrived a few days ago. Her name is Lea and she is a BIII studio doll.

Lea’s previous owner lives in Switzerland. I am thrilled to be her new Mommy. ❤️

Lea came in this beautiful dress that fits her perfectly. Her red leather shoes are probably her original shoes. Her dress is not a studio dress but it is just perfect for her.

I added a red ribbon. She has an off center/side parting and I love her wig color.

Her bloomers are so sweet with the top stitching. She came without socks and so I added this pair of vintage stripy socks. I like this look, do you?

A close up view of her dress’s trimming.

Sweet Lea up close.

A lovely Swiss girl.

An even closer view. ❤️

Lea and I thank you for visiting with us today. We hope you enjoyed this post. We are sending you hugs and happy wishes for the week to come. 😊 xxx

A few Waterlogue images for you to see.

Please Welcome Bea 🐝

I would like to introduce the first arrival and newest addition to the Sasha Shangri-La family for 2019. Her name is Beatrice and we call her Bea. Bea is a BII Sasha studio doll. B means her body is made of cloth and II is her face mold number. Bea had been redressed when she arrived and so I dressed her in this beautiful Ruth’s dolls outfit and added a childhood, scarab bar pin.

She loves this dear little troll doll which is my sole remaining childhood doll and this sweet Steiff lamb just happily follows her around. 🐑

Bea has very unique and special eye painting.

Please take a closer look at Bea’s eyes. Sasha has used sgraffito but differently than just the tip of her brush. It looks like she used a stiff piece of fabric that created a textured pattern in her eyes. You can also see that she used the tip of her brush too. Amazing!

A closer view.

This is another photo showing better her painting in both eyes. Please look at Bea’s eyes up close to see the textured background. I think it gives her eyes depth and interest.

Bea has really won my heart. I love everything about her.

Look, Suzanne has come over to welcome her new sister Bea.

“Hello Bea! I am so happy to see you. My name is Suzanne. I think we look a lot each other. Just like sisters.”

“Hi Suzanne. It is wonderful to see you. I was hoping my new family would be nice like you. I am a little nervous.”

“Don’t you worry Bea. I will take care of you and introduce you to your new family and show you around the farm when the weather improves.”

“Oh thank you Suzanne. I feel so much better with you by my side.”

It looks like the two girls have quickly forged a sisterly bond. I love seeing them together.

Suzanne and Bea. ❤️

Loving sisters together.

Bea is a very happy little girl. 😊

I hope you have enjoyed meeting Bea and thank you for visiting with us today.

Bea, Suzanne, and I are sending you hugs and happy wishes for the weekend ahead.

I am hoping we have some sunny days soon. The photos are so nice when taken outdoors.

❤️❤️❤️ Cow Creek hugs coming your way ❤️❤️❤️

Please meet Suzanne

This lovely B-II Sasha studio doll is named Suzanne. Suzanne recently arrived and I am thrilled to have her here at Sasha Shangri-La. ❤

Suzanne’s gingham outfit is original to her. 😊

Hidden behind her pinafore is beautiful smocking.

Smocking also on the back of her dress.

Her Sasha label along the back hemline. I turned the hem up to take the photo which is why you see the smocking.

Turning back the clock to last October, I first met Suzanne at Dorisanne ‘s lovely home when Janet and I paid a visit. You might remember that I adopted Bertie Karli from Dorisanne at that time. Bertie is a molded head boy that captured my heart. I brought Bertie home then but Dorisanne kindly accepted a layaway for Suzanne. This photo shows us together admiring the dolls. It was such a happy visit. ❤

Suzanne has a nice mohair bear friend to keep her company.

Suzanne is in excellent condition. She was made in the early 1950’s. We are both 1950’s girls. 😉

What s pretty girl. Her smocking is shown on page 82 of the Sasha Clothing and Patterns book. See below.

A wonderful book authored by Ann Chandler, Susanna Lewis, and Anne Votaw. 😊

Suzanne ❤

I took a couple of close-up photos to show her eye painting.

Suzanne and I thank you for visiting with us today. We hope you enjoyed this post. We wish you a blessed week to come. 😊 xxx

Note: A few Waterlogue images to enjoy.

Male and Marvelous ….. Markus

There have been a few new additions to the Sasha Shangri-La family that have not been shown on the blog.

Today, I am very happy to introduce to you a new boy. Please meet Markus, a CIII Sasha Studio boy, hand painted by Sasha Morgenthaler, made of gypsum and adopted from a lovely person living in Switzerland that showed his photo on Facebook in order to find him a new home. ❤

Markus is a scout boy and wears his original outfit and flag. 🙂

I have taken photos of Markus with and without his hat and I absolutely love his wig which is thick and wavy and has a bit of curl too. ❤️

I checked Markus’s feet and sadly, there are no remaining marks that Sasha would have penciled on the bottom of his feet. I think he is possibly a 1950’s boy. He has been loved and he is not a “minty” boy which is perfect for me since I can enjoy redressing him and I will have no worries about causing his first “ding”. 🙂

The soulful expression of Markus. ❤

A side profile with curls. ❤

Beautiful hair. 🙂

Markus and I think you for visiting with us today. We hope you have enjoyed this post and we hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful week to come. 🙂 xxx
