Beautiful Knits on a Warm Winter’s Day

Image

Our weather has been unseasonably warm and also very rainy. Each day since I have retired has been cloudy and overcast with only very short lived and occasional breaks in the clouds to allow a ray or two of sunshine to cheer us here at Sasha Shangri-La.

Today I jumped up to take outdoor photos when I saw the sunshine, but alas, it had disappeared by the time I grabbed the dolls, the camera and went outside. So I took photos on the front porch and made the best of this non-rainy, limited sunshine, breezy day. 😊

 

First up is the lovely Sylvia and she is very happy to model her lovely knitted cardigan made by Linda Simpson. I was lucky to snap it up at the Sasha Celebration Weekend last May. Her corduroy slacks are by Sashapotamus and her leather boots are by Ruthsdolls. Sylvia’s ponytail hair style allows you to see her beautiful cardigan. ❀

image

Sylvia is a very early Sasha NP made in 1966 and she has detailed, hand-painted brown eyes with the palest of blue highlights on her lids. ❀

Sylvia up close. 😊

A very pretty girl. 🌹

Next is Hannah and she is a graphic eyed NP girl with lovely red hair. She is wearing a wonderful knitted sweater made by Christine Durand. I bought it at the Sasha Festival in Rochester last summer. Her black corduroy trousers are made by an unknown seamstress and her black leather slip on shoes were made by Ruthsdolls.

image

Hannah particularly likes the sweet sheep crossing her tummy. πŸ˜‰

image

I arranged her hair to each side so you can see more of the knitted design. 😊

image

Thank you Hannah. ❀

image

Last is Jessie and she is a 1967 NP with a nice, longer bobbed hair style. I arranged her hair off of her shoulders to best show her lovely knitted cardigan with adorable ducks and it was made by Rosie Laird. Β It has a very nice matching hat and gloves too! The maker of her trousers is unknown.

Her leather boots were made by Ruthsdolls. 😊

Pearl is wearing a lovely smocked dress by Karen Warnaka. The weather is unseasonably warm today, in the 60’s, so short sleeves are comfortable and no jackets! πŸ™‚
