Sasha Festival 2016 - Registration & Meet and Greet


4.30pm on Thursday July 17th the Sasha Festival 2016 officially began!  We all gathered for Registration and the 'Meet & Greet'  There was a light hors d'oeuvres and cash bar and photo op displays available as well.


People begin to gather...



mingle and chat.





The ladies have the souvenir t shirts out for any who want to purchase.



Sheila and Lynne hand out the registration packs.



There were some fabulous photo op displays up for people to use after registration and into the evening.  A lot of fun. How I would love some of these amazing props!









Just loved this piano - especially as I also collect Schoenhut dolls and toys.  Sadly these just aren't available in England.


Henry also enjoyed the opportunity to 'tickle the ivories'






It was Barbie's 70th birthday while at the Festival so Marti had organised a special surprise for her.


This was fun as you can see.


A fabulous cake - of which I ended up not getting a piece due to taking photos!




Lovely smiling ladies.



Groups get together and enjoy catching up on the last year










It was  a really lovely evening and once I had nipped round taking a few photos it was great to stop and chat and enjoy like minded company. 

 Love this wonderful group of people!  The Sasha Festival for me now is as much about the people and friends I have made as it is about the dolls.

Sasha Festival 2016 - Souvenir & Hostess Gifts.

Hard to believe that the festival finished 11 days ago now!  What a lovely time was had by all.

I have taken a few photos of the Souvenir and Hostess Gift items I came home with.


The Festival Journal, filled with patterns, stories and pictures.


My Auction Number - not that I had any success!



Paper dolls


Colouring book


Recipe book


Table hostess gift made by Jenny D


Modelled by Henry who tries it out for size.  Thank you Jenny.


A gorgeous photo album from the lovely Ellen C - filled with wonderful pictures of her fabulous dolls and their props.  Thank you Ellen.


Table hostess gift from Dawn - my lot have refused to try on a jumper/sweater in this heat, but it will most certainly be worn in winter as will the cute socks.  Thank you Dawn.


Souvenir summer shorts - these will be most popular for the boys in the pool or on the beach.


A cute souvenir summer romper suit for baby 


Modelled by Grace


A lovely hostess gift made by Margo.  Thank you Margo


Currently borrowing a camera and just can't get the colours right - it is a pretty pale yellow.  Modelled by Tui Renate.


Souvenir dress - Sunday Best.  Looks fabulous on Cora and is a light blue - again I can't get the colours right with this camera. 


Postcard for next years Sasha Festival with all the details included.  


I may have missed a few items - will add them as I come across them, and may well update the photos once I get my camera back from the repair shop...all going well!
