Introducing Ingrid, my final doll for 2015
Last year a very special girl came home with me from the Sasha Festival. Never did I think I would be lucky enough to own a doll like this, but sometimes lady luck shines on you...the minute I saw her I knew she would have to come home with me. She is by no means perfect and has quite a mysterious history to her, but despite her faults she has an air of reflection and tranquillity about her.
She came home with several items of clothing of which some we (after consulting with Ann Chandler and Susanna Lewis and later Anne Votaw) believe are original. Certainly her dress and underwear probably are and possibly her cape as well.
She 'told' me her name almost immediately.
She enjoys a tea party with her teddy which was a 'welcome home' gift.
I made her a new dress which brings out the blue in her eyes.
For the past year Ingrid has been keeping a diary of her life and daily happenings that may take her eye or give her pause for thought, events she has enjoyed and the odd trip that she may have undertaken. She is hoping the coming year will see more clothes added to her wardrobe!

Ingrid is spectacular - how lucky to be able to bring her home with you - wow.
ReplyDeleteIngrid is very lovely. How did you manage to keep quiet about her for a year?!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I am not rightly sure...actually there were quite a few shall we say distractions going on at home throughout the summer and the rest of the year that left me a bit shell shocked.
DeleteGlad you can share her now :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sensing a trend in your doll purchasing. :) I'm curious about the cloth dolls that look like Sashas. Did you talk about those somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe Course dolls were introduced on here as well. I'll add links for each doll on the bottom of this post.
DeleteMy! You kept the purchase of the lovely Ingrid quiet over these last twelve months then!?!?
ReplyDeletePleased to see that she's now 'out of the closet' so to speak and looks to be enjoying herself and trying on those outfits that came with her.
Yes I did indeed! :-) I think I couldn't quite believe it at first...and then things 'got in the way'. She is pleased to be 'out of the closet' and I hope to be making her some new clothes later next month.
DeleteOh Lorraine, your Ingrid is so lovely. Thank you for sharing her with us. She is a very beautiful and special Sasha. Well done and I look forward to seeing her again soon! :) xxx
