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.

My re-root Sasha Babies.

Two falling haired brunette babies who have been delightfully re-rooted by Lisa Hartley and whom I'm now proud to be the owner of.

Both baby girls are wearing OOAK very pretty Ruthsdolls outfits.

Look! We have a space hopper too!

A great big thank you Uncle Norman for sending us the money to buy this. Mummy said that she bought Chon one when she was a child and that it was exactly the same only much bigger

Bouncing is a fun way to get around!

Just taking a quick rest to get my breath back.

Ollie, a new Gotz Toddler arrives to join the Sasha Brood.

Obviously been a change in the grand plan as I have always declared that I would only have one toddler (Bea) in my collection but couldn't resist this ones cute little face.

Ollie wears a OOAK Ruthsdolls dungaree and T-shirt outfit with a Sashawardrobe knitted jacket and manufactured shoes.

My Childhood Family Home.

Found myself the other day (whilst taking photos for the Sasha World Magazine) less than a hundred metres from our old family home and so still with my camera around my neck I took the following....

Our 17th Century family house set in Audley in rural Staffordshire.
When the stage coach passed the house in the olden days the horn was sounded to let the Inn in Nantwich (about 8 kilometres away) know that the passengers would be arriving an hour or so from then.

View showing the position of the garages in relation to the house with the main driveway inbetween.

Double garage with games/party room above that we had built to match the style of the house.

Main driveway.

View of one of the sides of the house by the main drive.

Another back view showing the unusual chimneys.

Back gate to the house from the side lane.

The stables and hay loft (pigstys and barn on each of the sides now demolished) that have since been converted.

Our field next to the stables, hay loft and barn.
