New outfit and Zoo animals.

Another delightful little outfit by sasha*smiles seen here on a 1970 Trendon Nightdress baby and who is holding two of the design award winning Russ anamalZ little wooden animals. (I would have loved to have bought these for my daughter in the olden days when she was young... BUT luckily I now have my Sashas as an excuse for such extravagance!)

Em, (short for Emu) I love your inquisitive 'beaky' little face and your long blue neck warmer.

I think that I'm going to call you, Kanga which is like a shortened version of Kangaroo.

Jac tastes a little of a student's life up at Lancaster University.

Jotting down a few memos. least I forget.

Adding a little more info. to the main notice board.

A quick tidy up on the book shelf.

The new posters look great now that they are up on the walls.

New doll carrying bag arrives!

...and within minutes of being left unattended nine of the babies (ALL wearing Dollydoodles sleepsuits) it seems had crawled in (obviously hoping for another outing) BUT this was NOT what I had in mind so left them there for a while and then tactfully turfed them all out back into their playpen!

Another wonderful gift arrives. This time from the US.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Uncle Ted for this gorgeous little wooden train. A train has been on our wish list for quite some time now but mummy hadn't been able to find one.

So this is where you store your chocolates secretly away from the others.

Is 'Doggy' enjoying his train ride then?

New prototype outfit arrives from Vintage-Sasha,

This very attractive prototype outfit arrived as a gift from Sarah Williams of Vintage Sasha for us to model. We love it and think that it's just perfect for a special Summer outing. A million thanks Auntie Sarah.

This is the 1971 Trendon Gingham doll that my Sasha friends when visiting here vote as one of the loveliest of my Sasha Dolls and I think that the blue of the material so suits her darker blue/grey eyes.

New suede jacket for Gregor.

My 1970 Shelly customised Gregor is really pleased with his new suede jacket (seamstress unknown) shown here with Pinestreetstudio combats and scarf and JJ boots.
