A FEW PICTURES FROM THE ARCHIVE

The Boys

As with the girls, a lot of the fun in owning Sasha boys is dressing them up, then putting them into situations that 'real' boys might find themselves in - and then taking the inevitable pictures!

Romy in his whites. This gorgeous outfit was made by Alexissofie

Howzat! Raffay bowled. Romy batted the ball straight to Teddy who made a superb catch.

Outfits by Alexissofie. Raffay's and Teddy's Cricket Sweaters knitted by Postiesbabe.

This is Raffay wearing the very first outfit I ever bought from Petrana. It came beautifully boxed and it was a joy receiving it!

For my birthday last year I received a couple of dresses from The Doll Works. I love gingham dresses and the Sasha wardrobe  contains a fair number of those. These are a fine example of the genre!

Three pretty girls in Summer frocks! Yasmin is wearing a dress by Justsew. Iona and Imogen are in the birthday dresses from Andrea at the Dollworks

Shall we have some cake?

Iona is wearing a dress by Jadzia. The beautiful dress Lissi is wearing comes from America, but I can't remember who made it. It would be ideal, if all garments came with sewn-in labels. After all, they are 'designer' clothes for Sashas!

Just a few more...

Iona, Phoebe and Imogen in dresses by Jadzia. Hat by Dee

SASHA, THE MODEL

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of a Sasha simply has to take pictures of her!”

Well, we all love to take pictures of our Sashas. It is not surprising. They are extraordinarily photogenic, fairly posable and extremely patient and forbearing. The end result is almost always very pleasing. There is something very 'human' about these dolls. Sasha Morgenthaler has succeeded in her quest and produced a miniature 'child'. I have put up a picture in our hall of Hanna (Granddaughter) with all the Sashas in the garden doing various things. People invariably ask whose birthday party this is, until the realization strikes, that these are actually dolls.  At first glance what you see is children having fun! I don't think you could produce this effect with other dolls. Their proportions are all wrong. I could be proved wrong on this point, of course!

Here they are, but without Hanna

A detail taken from the above picture: Hanna and Tabatha playing with Lego.

Hanna is wearing a dress by Hagnolly. Bolero by Gillian. Tabatha is wearing a dress by Jadzia.

Some more pictures from my archive. They were taken last Spring.

Having a chat in the garden. Clothes: Iona is wearing a Hagnolly outfit. The others are in Jestsew outfits. Hat by Alexissofie. Bolero by Stomar

My shoe is undone

I think Raffay is showing off!!!

The girls are wearing outfits by Justsew. Raffay's sweater is one of  Gillian's and the pants were made by Petrana

This garden is a jungle!

You are not kidding!

(Yasmin seems to have lived in her Dirndl last Spring!)
