Please meet Ana

Image

A beautiful studio doll, a farm child, has come to Sasha Shangri-La last year. I have named her Ana.

I moved Ana to the front of the cabinet for photos. I hope to take better photos soon and to go outdoors! Meanwhile, I hope you will enjoy seeing Ana with her doll family and the late winter lighting surrounding them.

Ana is holding a Steiff boar in her hand. Being a farm girl, she is used to being with animals and loves them. They love her too as seen by the dear little chick hiding in her apron pocket. Ana is totally at home here at Lost Horizon Farm.

A few photos showing Ana up close.

Always so interesting to see how Sasha painted her dolls.

Aso so interesting to see how Sasha dressed her dolls. A view of Ana’s slip, knitted socks, and leather boots.

Ana’s Sasha tag.

Oh, let’s not forget Ana’s pretty pants.

Ana’s markings by Sasha. A 1964 creation. Ana is 58 years old this year if my math is correct.

Thank you for visiting the blog today. Have a wonderful week.

Chloe and Sara Dress for December

Image

 

Chloe is a 1966 Sasha doll and was my first NP.  She is a brunette with very beautiful blue eyes. She is wearing a fantastic outfit that I found on Shelly’s site.  I believe Kendal owned this lovely outfit before me and I am uncertain who made it. Thank you Sarah Williams for your help. 🥰

I took many photos to share with you.  Her boots were made by Jean Jensen.

I hope you enjoy Chloe’s photos.

 

It is nice to dress Chloe in lovely clothes.

Next, is petite Sara, a 1967 NP painted by Sara Doggart.   Sara is wearing a warm and pretty outfit that I found on Shelly’s site. I think Kendal owned this outfit too.  Her black leather shoes were made by Jean Jensen.

I love this outfit especially since it is plaid and flannel. A wonderful fabric.

I took a lot of photos of Sara too.

Beautiful Sara. 

I hope you enjoyed Sara’s photos.

I thought I should show these sisters together. 

A very special pair! 

Thank you for visiting with us today.  We hope you have a wonderful day and week to come.  We are enjoying our first seasonal snowfall of about 3 inches.

Sending you hugs and happy wishes! 🥰 xxx

A Gracie Hello

Image

Sweet Gracie is happy to say hello to you.  She is hopeful all is well with you and yours. ❤️

Gracie is wearing an outfit we found at Ruthsdolls. This includes her leather shoes and white  socks. She is so happy to have a new outfit. 😊

This adorable outfit is toddler sized and fits her well.

Though Gracie is a studio Bebe, she has always claimed hat she is not a baby.  I do agree with Gracie and think she looks extra sweet modeling her pretty new outfit.

Thank you for visiting our site.  We hope you enjoyed this post.  Gracie and I both hope you have a happy weekend. ❤️

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. ❤️
