My Sasha Brood seem to take after me and enjoy being out in the fresh air whenever possible.

This is a 1990s modern pale skinned Gotz Doll, Stella whom Kelly Wenarsky customised.

Photobucket

I really adore her teeny, tiny freckles which were painted by Kelly to disguise a facial birthmark.
Checking to see if the flowers are perfumed.

Photobucket

She is wearing a Dollydoodle girly T-shirt over cropped daisy print leggings.

Photobucket

Admiring the white flowered Geraniums that like to grow rather wildly given the chance.


Photobucket

Here is a dark tanned skinned 1970 Trendon baby boy Woolly with rather unruly hair like Fritz. Later on the vinyl was made lighter.

Photobucket

I am rather partial to his cubby, cheeky little face.

Photobucket

He is wearing his original outfit and clutching a knitted stripped ginger cat called 'Gingernuts.'

My daughter is coming up to stay on Saturday for almost the week so I'm going to take a break during that time from my blogging to spend the time with her and to learn how to list my blog photos in this large format like Sarah Williams does for me. (Particular apologies to Lorraine as I know she likes to visit it on a daily basis and always leaves a much appreciated comment. I'll be especially thinking of you Lorraine and please take care of yourself.)

My Trendon Wide Faced girl enjoys a bit of fresh air.

A special 'Goodmorning' to Lorraine. Hope that you're managing to come to terms with the worrying news of your recent health diagnosis and that you're not in as much pain today.

This 1969 doll was one of my few ebay 'risk' purchases in my first years of Sasha collecting and came in just her gingham pants and printed back gold tag.











Here she is wearing my very first pair of Dollydoodle's shorts that I chose to have made up from the material samples that Judith gave me to take to Anne-Marie's Sasha funday....

Photobucket

along with a later hoodie design that Judith ingeniously invented instead of the original co-ordinating blue T-shirt.

Photobucket

I was attracted to her on account of her wide face which I had read about and which gave these dolls a much younger look.

Photobucket

I really like this 'upward looking' photo.

Photobucket

A September Autumnal Day in the Garden.

My 1960s yellow eyed with lashes, Gotz girl joying a little time in the garden.

Photobucket

In spite of the shadows on her face I'm rather fond of her look in this photo.

Photobucket

She is getting a last wear out of this Summer themed Dollydoodle outfit before venturing into the warmer, long sleeved hoodies.

Photobucket

This is a lovely tall, slender doll who looks great in leggings.

Photobucket

I love the line of this girl's pony tail.

Photobucket


Usual much appreciated thanks to Sarah Williams for her superb photo listings.

Adam and Eve (Fritz and Juliette) in the Garden of Eden?

These photos are listed especially for Lorraine in the hope that when viewing them it takes her mind off her Friday's upsetting health news for a few minutes.

I actually took these them last month on one of my rare better health days... as I like to have a few tucked away in hand.

Photobucket

This 1966 Frido NP doll is one of my very favourite dolls as I think that she has a very young and innocent look about her.

Photobucket

I had this delightful Viyella Betsy-May dress especially made up for her as I thought that the colouring suited her pefectly. To complete the outfit she is wearing some JJ Mary-Jane studio style shoes and commercially made socks.

Photobucket

Eve (Juliette) suddenly spots a small ripe apple high up on the Quince Apple Tree....

Photobucket

....Though not quite within her reach.

Photobucket

Adam (Fritz) kindly offers to climb up and pick the apple for her.

Photobucket

BUT the question is....does he give it to her or not?

Photobucket

My thanks again to Sarah for her tireless task of listing these photos for me. (I'm hoping that this time next week I might have mastered this skill myself thanks to my daughter's forthcoming visit and give her a much needed break.)

'Last of the Summer Wine'...ooops sorry, I meant 'photos' instead of the TV programme 'Last of the Summer Wine!'

While we here are still enjoying an Indian Summer' Fritz decided that he would enjoy a last few nights of camping out before the clocks go back and the colder weather sets in.
Photobucket

....So here he is erecting his smart tent (a copy of a real adult tent) and expertly adjusting the guy ropes.

Photobucket

'Good Morning' to you. Did you have a good night? Not cold at all?

Photobucket

Ready for your breakfast now?

Photobucket


As you can see Sarah is still listing these photos in this extra large format for me in spite of having to look after her family and design and sew her beautiful vintage-sasha clothing. Many thanks as always Sarah.

A delightful vintage-sasha outfit arrives ....

....And it is immediately obvious that it is the perfect colouring for Annaliese. Annaliese is a 1969 Frido girl who, due to a bad haircut sometime in her life, has since been re-rooted by Jackie Rydstrome giving her a new lease of life.

Photobucket

Sarah of vintage-sasha had included both these coloured ribbons as she was undecided as to which went best with the outfit. (Not realising this I had used both of the colours together... and so they have both remained.)

Photobucket

I think that her red hair perfectly compliments her eye colouring and skin tones.

Photobucket

Carrying her hat just in case it's needed later. These three-quater socks look very stylish with this length of dress.

Photobucket

A sweet facial close-up.

Photobucket

I think that this straw hat gives a lovely finish if needed on a sunny day.

Photobucket

Close up of the sraw hat that came here as a part of a Pinestreetstudio outfit.
