There were many more amazing and wonderful items donated which I didn't get a chance to photograph, but I hope you have enjoyed those that I managed.
Thank you Lorraine!!! A great coverage of the auction and such fun for a very worthy cause :)
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a worthy cause Ginger, raising funds for Children is very dear to my heart. :-)
DeleteHow I would have liked to have been there to bid on some of those gorgeous CFA offerings but pleased to hear that you were lucky with a couple that you had wanted.
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely that the Sasha collectors are so generous with their donations to the various charities that have been chosen.
Congratulations on your studio dress made from the christening gown doing so well.
What are you planning to showcase on your blog next? Looking forward to seeing the new outfits on your dolls at the end.
There were so many wonderful items to bid on, and I did bid on a few, but I knew that I REALLY wanted the beautiful blue dress so had to wait for that and of course once I had won that I couldn't really bid for anything else.
DeleteI was really overwhelmed when my dress raised that much for the Children's fund and I am thrilled it did so for such a worthy cause.
Next up is the Dress a Sasha competition :-)
Great report and photos of the big event Lorraine, thanks for sharing. I love the Wizard of Oz outfits, what a fantastic idea, some people are so very creative! Although I bet those poor little Sashas and Gregors were hot in those!!
ReplyDeleteGlad your dress went well, I expect you were really pleased.
Love the little redhead boy and also the Kelly Wernarsky repaint with her very cute outfit.
It certainly looks like everyone had a fantastic time!!
Glad you enjoyed it Sharon. The Wizard of Oz outfits were such fun, would have loved to have won those! Fortunately the hotel was well air conditioned so the Sasha and Gregors didn't suffer too much from the heat :-)
DeleteI was absolutely thrilled much dress raised so much for charity - it was beyond my expectations.
A fantastic time by all was had indeed.
Oh Lorranie, there were lots of beautiful outfits, but your beautiful Christening gown was indeed the most beautiful of all there. I'm so happy that it did so well in the auction. :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you Bama :-)
DeleteThank you so much Lorraine for ALL your photos. It makes me feel like I was there with you. And I appreciated seeing my little item in your blog, because I couldn't help wondering if it actually made it there, and if it sold.And it did, so that also made me feel like I was there in a small way- part of all the fun! And I love the outfit you won. I think it is pretty special and I can see why you chose it. I want to try to do some little tucks like that with embroidery, how elegant! And congratulations on your beautiful dress selling at such a great price too, wow! Though I am not surprised, it is worth every penny. And to think you almost didn't make it to the festival...I am so glad you went!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kirsten for taking the time to comment and write such a lovely long one as well. So glad you enjoyed the photos and saw your item as well :-) I am so pleased I made the effort to sell the dolls, get myself out of strife and manage to go to the festival and I am so glad that my health improved enough to enable me to do so as well. I feel very blessed and lucky indeed.
DeleteJust as well I couldn't go.... the house would have been sold and I would have had nowhere to bring back and enjoy all the goodies I'd have bought with the proceeds. Tell Henry I'd have bought him his car too, if I'd gone a little crazy and made DH and Mother homeless in order to buy Sasha stuff, LOL.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me about the beautiful boy behind the lilac quilts made/donated by Millie Dingham? Is his hair rooted or a wig? What a great colour. Love those red haired boys ever since I fell in love with, but missed buying, Shelly's son's doll, when he sold him years ago.
What memories you will have of this festival. I've never been to one, but the photographs seem to indicate that they get better every year.
So glad you had such a great time.
