Happy New Year

Advent Day Twenty Four - Christmas Eve

There is much chatter around the Advent Calendar and Scene this morning.

It's Christmas Eve!  Can be heard from many excited voices.

They are all discussing what might be behind the calendar door today.

Monica is of course convinced it is Santa, so the girls suggest she gets to open the door

Monica feels very lucky to be doing this.

She reaches in....

That's it....you can do it, the girls encourage her.

What has she found? They all lean in and look eagerly.

She starts to pull out the package.

That certainly looks like what she predicted...

Yes it is Santa! She cheers, as do the other girls.

Before they can blink Monica has Santa out of the package and put together.

She holds him up for them to see...

Look he has his quill pen and gift list.  She tells them.

Now where shall I put him?  She asks.

Ah, down here will be good, right next to the sleigh.

The girls resume their chatter.

They are so pleased that it really was Santa behind the door today.

Of course that still means the mystery of the orange objects remains unsolved!

Charlotte thinks they look a bit like the things Dad uses to clear the ice of the windscreen...or maybe to strip wallpaper....but she really isn't at all sure, so doesn't want to voice her thoughts.

Happy Christmas Eve!

Gorgeous Sasha Dolls for Sale

It has been with a heavy heart that I have had to choose some of my beloved Sasha dolls to sell in order to pay for the vet fees for our little Sheltie who has been poorly and had to have rather expensive vet treatment.

31st July 2012.  Sorry I had updated who has sold on my For Sale page, but not here.  I now just have three available.

First up is one of my lovely red head girls.  I am keeping the twins Judie & Julia, so unfortunately Jane needs to find a new home.

She is a lovely girl in good used, played with condition.

She has a couple of missing hair plugs either side of her face...I think they never have been rooted in the first place, but difficult to tell, and they generally can't be seen and I've never noticed them missing.

She has slight greening to her right eye as seen in the above photo.

Sold

Next is this lovely repaint by Shelly that I bought from a dear friend.  I am sorry to have to see her go, but sometimes you have to make choices...

She was repainted in April 2010 and the bottom of her foot is signed and dated.  She has lovely non-falling hair which still maintains its factory curls.  She is in lovely condition and poses well.

£200.00 + £10 p&p

Another gorgeous repaint by Shelly, repainted in January of this year.  Her foot is signed and dated.  'Ellery' has gorgeous lavender blue eyes and is in good condition and poses well.  She maintains her silver wrist tag which she is wearing.  She has a couple of marks on her torso from a doll stand (I'm not guilty ;-) ) and a couple of very tiny marks to her knuckle.  She has beautiful blonde hair which still has some of its factory curl remaining.

She really is gorgeous and can be seen on my blog as well.  I will find the link and add it on the for sale page later.

£250.00 + £10 p&p

Petite 16" Brunette Sasha from the early 70s with hook and bar mechanism to the neck, light/pale brown in legs, white in neck and arms.

She has gorgeous eyes, although it does look like someone tried to add 'eyeliner' at some stage in her life.  I am never tried to remove this, but I am sure it could be done if someone wanted to remove it.  She is a really sweet little girl with non-falling hair.  I am not sure if her fringe came like it is, or if it has been trimmed, but I have taken loads of photos to show what it is like.

She holds a pose well.  I will be sad to see this lovely little girl go.

£180.00 + £10 p&p

More to come, I seem to have run out of photo 'storage room!'

My beautiful Sasha Harlequin 'Clementine'.

Sold

I think she has such a beautiful face and lovely hair, another doll that I will be sad to see go.

If you would like to see photos of her, please email me so I can send them to you.

I think I am going to have to part with one of my boys as well.

Michel my Gotz Boy Scout - he is very handsome indeed.  Photo of him on my 'Boy's Profile Page'.  He doesn't have his scout uniform but is in fabulous condition.  I will have to sort out some clothes and photos of him once I have decided what to do with my google account, whether to update, or get another type of blog.
