I Love Gracie

Image

I have wanted to add a studio bebe to my Sasha family but have not seen any that were available to adopt. Then recently, Shelly listed a beautiful studio bebe and I at first thought that I should wait longer to add a studio bebe.  Of course, I kept returning to the page over and over again and staring at the sweet little girl.  I finally decided to not wait and thank goodness she was still for sale 🙂

So, yesterday evening when I returned home after work, I had a wonderful Shelly box waiting for me to open. Look, who is it?

image

Oh my, what sweet little feet you have!

image

Wee, wee, it’s me, it’s me, sweet little Gracie 🙂

image

What a beautiful little girl!! She was a bit tired from her journey though she made the trip across the Pond in 7 days–fast 🙂

image

This is the first time that I have held a studio bebe in my hands and I had a lot of questions about her size. So, I carefully removed Gracie’s beautiful dress and undergarments and found a measuring tape. Gracie loved being in the “buff” especially after experiencing the recent confines of her box. She is playing with the tape, so sweet 🙂

Mommy, how big am I?

image

Gracie, you are 13 inches tall! I also measured Gracie’s head and it is 9.75 inches around. Her head and arms move well and her legs are sewn to her torso and they are slightly curved. Her gypsum head is wonderfully formed and she has molded eye lids. Her eye and brow painting gives her a delightful, inquisitive expression. Her human hair wig is soft and baby-like.

Gracie made friends quickly with her sweet nature and inquiring personality. This photo of Gracie with baby Meg gives you an idea of her size. Aren’t they cute?

Gracie found a teddy to hold.

This last photo was taken by Shelly and Gracie looks so sweet that I wanted to share it. I am so very happy that Gracie is here with me and her family at Sasha Shangri-La.  I love her and I think she loves me too ;).  Gracie and I wish you a wonderful weekend and send you big hugs too 🙂 xxxx

The Lovely Sylvia

Sylvia is the newest member to the Sasha family. I was fortunate to be able to purchase her from a collector here in the States and she is shown in the new Sasha Dolls Serie Identification book under eye painting (photo #37). I must say that her eyes did indeed capture my heart.  I love her sweet expression and her red hair which has had some trimming. She does have a full center part.  Please excuse the stray hair over her left eye.

Sylvia traveled to me in her original brown cord outfit which is safely put away. She is wearing a cheery Nellie Rose dungarees outfit purchased from Shelly’s site and previously owned by Kendal.  I love to be on the receiving end of Kendal’s Sasha wardrobe and was lucky to snatch up this well made outfit.  Sylvia’s shoes were also on Shelly’s site and are from Ruthsdolls.
