Shelia was the auctioneer and she generously shared her PowerPoint presentation from the festival with me so I didn't have to spend a lot of time sorting through and uploading pictures. I have converted it to a movie so it can be easily viewed here.

I'm not sure if she wants to be named here so I'll leave her anonymous unless I hear otherwise. I wish I had taken more closeup pictures of the individual dolls as each was just exquisite. It was a gorgeous display of gorgeous shoes on gorgeous dolls wearing gorgeous outfits.

Show how your ‘kids’ engage with their favorite helpers in the neighborhood!”</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The entries were divided into three categories:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">JUNIOR MADE/ASSEMBLED</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">(1) “Trip to the Sasha Rainbow Library.

I did not sell as much as I’d hoped, but I guess that’s to be expected with my random selection of items and fewer attendees. I will probably be listing items for sale later on the blog or Facebook, including a few dolls and a RED pram (pale blue/gray hood and cover). Here is my table before the sale began, a few dolls, two prams, toys, books, and some clothes:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTbeQNCdcYqhmo4OlBPxm5iEYPznSasilRVCNftxwJU2HH_O4xF_jKnCzkw3FcfKQgAn_S_wwnVPdKzJXXG0MM1wQ6sKDaFRzNHq9Ovc2vdAidA8NSr-HvvxbhDaEkCWQkbbR442Ttor5/s2048/B34946C1-929C-4C27-B84C-9BBA1A2DC9E4.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1229" data-original-width="2048" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTbeQNCdcYqhmo4OlBPxm5iEYPznSasilRVCNftxwJU2HH_O4xF_jKnCzkw3FcfKQgAn_S_wwnVPdKzJXXG0MM1wQ6sKDaFRzNHq9Ovc2vdAidA8NSr-HvvxbhDaEkCWQkbbR442Ttor5/w640-h384/B34946C1-929C-4C27-B84C-9BBA1A2DC9E4.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p>I bought clothing from four different sellers: rainbow leggings, a rainbow heart t-shirt, a cat baby outfit, and a Rose & Hubble dress.

I did my original swap with Janell and received a cute outfit of jeans and a turquoise shirt - I saw this outfit with a dark green shirt later, so apparently the shirts were in different colors. My second swap was with Sheila who made a rainbow striped dress, panties, bow, and psychedelic fringed sandals. The stripes have the same turquoise color as the other swap’s shirt so I wound up with coordinating his-and-hers outfits.

I did collect donations for the raffle baby, get my registration information, eat enough nibbles to call it dinner, and catch up with some old friends and meet a couple of new people. All in all a successful start to the festival.</p><p>Around 9:00 I started assembling the raffle baby doll display. I had a general vision, but laying out the clothes and pinning then to the foam board took multiple tries. Arranging the shelf and toys was the fun part! I hope people like this as much as I do and buy lots of raffle tickets to earn funds for future festivals.</p><p>Here’s the description by the ticket box. A big thank you to everyone who donated items to provide lots of toys and clothes for this little guy.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUij04FrsF1IW0FCAI4Hdfk9n1_6e0XAjGEgwxgvOqcuOZ53jz7vpW0ExTc9Qdz5a0HouVBYTVTL5XEqCx3oerQuebl3FUsZUa0HpD0BctcmGUEoY8PqF0WULTCl2oAhV9VjaLqpYhU-b/s1104/82A8F81D-BAF6-4109-8411-D9F59BC20401.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1104" data-original-width="1104" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEUij04FrsF1IW0FCAI4Hdfk9n1_6e0XAjGEgwxgvOqcuOZ53jz7vpW0ExTc9Qdz5a0HouVBYTVTL5XEqCx3oerQuebl3FUsZUa0HpD0BctcmGUEoY8PqF0WULTCl2oAhV9VjaLqpYhU-b/w400-h400/82A8F81D-BAF6-4109-8411-D9F59BC20401.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The full display: lots of cute colorful clothing for both cold and warm weather, five pairs of shoes, diapers, a cozy place for a nap, a floor quilt in front of the toy shelf, and lots of toys and books.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3RgquKlVxHFIesHqcU7XRL4Y8hKrcIwphZT2z5XEHkf690ePqbtu7mhJB-wP219DD644SULMsh-hq6SRhiusPp672ZYdbQKtkYb1rl-n45b_srovhbQ3OEQLj3Xe69DeiPT5D0nX7bXYO/s2048/F3E3C543-40CA-45B9-800E-B5067AD2F9D2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3RgquKlVxHFIesHqcU7XRL4Y8hKrcIwphZT2z5XEHkf690ePqbtu7mhJB-wP219DD644SULMsh-hq6SRhiusPp672ZYdbQKtkYb1rl-n45b_srovhbQ3OEQLj3Xe69DeiPT5D0nX7bXYO/w640-h640/F3E3C543-40CA-45B9-800E-B5067AD2F9D2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Nap space with a nest, flannel blanket, stuffed bunny, bottle, and dummy.

And so I bought and donated clothes by other makers, and asked the Sasha community for donations. I will post pictures once it is set up so you can see his full bounty. It. Is. Fabulous.</p><p>But I still wanted to make him something so I scrambled over the past few evenings and was able to sew two items for him, a pair of cheddar orange overalls and a blue romper with trees. They’re done and I think they’ll hold together, but there are some wonky seams and few are finished/overstitched/zigzagged. Definitely not the caliber of other Sasha seamstresses, but I made them in very little time with my own two hands and I’m pretty proud of that. They will be part of the raffle baby’s wardrobe. </p><p>The overalls were made from a Ruth’s Dolls pattern in an issue of Friends of Sasha newsletter. They are shown with a rainbow striped shirt from Etsy store “<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/APassionforSasha" target="_blank">A Passion for Sasha</a>”. Which is also part of the raffle.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKOEtvLqljXkJhEhcp2nZ9crF88tSLrJ71N4mrikQK5p24DmlsyYC9-SCwTeEba1kCltjvSNT2Q9yLIQhyha50BXQ2C5ilWT6JsXQXsbbbF-q6qbyvpJ1-Z0p5EMOsrBNFlU7sbSAVOz3v/s2048/EEBBD826-CB1A-4BF8-826D-7391346C5AC0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKOEtvLqljXkJhEhcp2nZ9crF88tSLrJ71N4mrikQK5p24DmlsyYC9-SCwTeEba1kCltjvSNT2Q9yLIQhyha50BXQ2C5ilWT6JsXQXsbbbF-q6qbyvpJ1-Z0p5EMOsrBNFlU7sbSAVOz3v/w400-h400/EEBBD826-CB1A-4BF8-826D-7391346C5AC0.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The romper was made from a pattern in the book Sasha Dolls: clothing and Patterns.

As I said last year, the best part of the Sasha Festival is the people. In many cases it is a family event: sisters, spouses, parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren. In talking with people the first couple of days I was struck by the bond between generations: the mothers and grandmothers sharing their love of Sasha with their children and grandchildren, and in some cases the children providing travel support for their mothers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I announced on Saturday afternoon that I wanted to take pictures of these generational groups and wound up with 18 represented. Apologies if I missed anyone, and a heartfelt thank you to those who allowed me to photograph them (and to Charla for taking a picture of me and Boo). I was asked by a couple of people not to include their name, and have decided to leave off all names. If you know them already then no name is required, and if you don't then perhaps you will meet them at a future festival.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seeing the love in these pictures puts a smile on my face, and hopefully yours as well. </div>

I had plans for my usual series of posts about the 2015 Sasha Festival but never managed to execute. Between work, family, and volunteer commitments (with a wonky thyroid thrown into the mix) I just haven't had the time and energy for blogging. I wish I could say with certainty that I will find the energy and make the time this year. The best that I can say is that I will try ... starting with at least one 2016 Sasha Festival post.TheTrueFrancinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09088541444518478659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108527201004879057.post-41275104190634123192015-07-20T23:10:00.000-04:002015-07-20T23:10:29.735-04:00Sasha Festival 2015 - post 1When I started bringing Boo along to the festivals I had lots of spare time every evening to write a daily summary post while she was asleep. Now Boo stays up late (much too late this year - boy is she tired now) so my festival evenings are spent having fun with friends. Last year I uploaded a quick photo at the start of each event so that people could still get a little instant gratification festival fix. It worked, but it was also work. This year I've returned to my original format of thematic posts and a slideshow/album, all after the fact. Maybe waaay after the fact, but hopefully worth the wait.<br />
<br />
The best part of festivals isn't the Childrens' Fund Auction, the Dress-A-Sasha contest, the sales room, the workshops and presentations, or even the dolls ... all of that will come in future posts. The best part of festivals is the people. See how happy I am to be spending time with these ladies!<br />

Two self-presents this year seemed a bit extravagant, but I couldn't resist either one. Nixie joins my growing group of <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/search/label/no-navel">no-navels</a>. Ultimately I'm hoping to have at least one each of the 12 possible hair/eye/year combinations - still four to go. :-)<br />
<br />
Nixie is from 1969, with the thicker style of eye paint. She replaces <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2009/09/meet-natasha-before.html">Nola</a>, who moved on to a new home when I was in need of dollie funds. Her hair is gorgeous, as is her eye paint.<br />

All of Boo's dolls were dressed in red and green on Christmas Eve, awaiting the arrival of Santa. Little did they (or she) know what was in store on Christmas morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Boo asked if she could decorate a little tree for the dolls, and I agreed (this saved me having to do it myself once she was asleep, because I had a surprise planned). Here is how the tree looked when she went to bed, with a stocking for each of her dolls. The gifts under the tree are empty boxes just for show, but she put a few old items in the stockings: coins, a hat, a toy car... I intentionally rushed her so that she didn't have much time to set out gifts because that was part of my surprise.<br />

Here is how the tree looked when I went to bed, with the addition of two Gregors, two more stockings, and lots of doll-sized wrapped packages.<br />

<br />
Boo glanced at the little tree when she woke up, but didn't seem very excited. In fact, she was a bit miffed that I'd removed what she put in the stockings. She thought that the Gregors were mine and that I had created a scene for my blog with empty packages. Boy was she surprised to discover that the boys were hers and the wrapped packages all contained gifts for her dolls! I had labeled the packages with their names, so before she unwrapped her own gifts from under the big tree, Boo helped the dolls unwrap their gifts from under the little tree.<br />

When she told me she wanted a Gregor "some day", Boo came up with a list of prospective names: Daniel, Ethan, and Trevor. Of course she decided that none of those worked once she had dolls in hand, so names have not yet been determined. The current front runners are James for the brunette and Caleb for the blonde.</div>

She has been playing dolls with a friend from the neighborhood the past few days, and having fun with the added dimension that males add. They can be brothers, boyfriends, husbands, fathers, kings, and even male house servants (apparently the girl dolls love having the boy dolls wait on them).</div>

Boo got <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2014/11/meet-madden.html">Madden</a> at the 2012 Sasha Festival and was hoping to get another baby at the 2013 festival. I had a baby that I'd bought for myself but not even named ... and so I gifted her to Boo before the festival (that way no worries about finding the perfect baby there). Thus Kelly was born, another sexed little girl to be a twin for Kitty. Its easy to tell them apart since Kitty has "poofy" hair. I think Kelly may have replaced Kitty as favorite baby. Here is how I found her today when I went to take pictures, apparently recovering from some sort of serious accident. Still a little princess though.</div>

... and yet Boo longed for another baby, a second brunette girl to be a "twin" for Kitty.</div>

Here is another of Boo's babies who has been shown on the blog but not formally introduced, a sexed boy from the 70's. Madden was won in the <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2012/06/sasha-festival-2012-post-4.html">Childrens' Fund Auction at the 2012 Sasha festival</a>. Boo was a bit miffed to discover that while he was all in pink, he was actually male. I offered to sell him and buy a genderless blonde baby, but she was too attached to part with him. His subtle genitals aren't visible when dressed, so she decided to view him as a girl. S/he was dubbed "Puppy" to go with Kitty. I suggested Madden, which is an Irish name meaning "little dog" - technically a male name, but sometimes used for females as well. Perfect! </div>

You met Kitty when she was purchased at Boo's first festival in <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2011/07/sasha-festival-2011-post-3.html">2011</a>, but she hasn't had a proper introduction post. Here is Boo's beloved baby Kitty, a sexed girl from the 70's. She is wearing her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Sashapotamus">Sashapotamus</a> onesie, a special request to <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaN4WTTj6PEECpMdyRerQI9bK11MsjJwvsQbQ0QqJAojSaZc9LeZPBTcGaLfZDHT9uzYVyi2EiKZyXXsbBcYP6V5DPGlU0iN91mdJvXcJJMKdiiC0G-2vcLc9YX5QMR4xuLyBW2pIzj2Bn/s400/L1180177.jpg">match Boo's (and Calla's)</a>.</div>

Aren't they the cutest! I bought several holiday/winter sweaters from Carol Marsh, who sells on ebay as user bjbcuddles (her storefront is called <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/carolannssewingroom/" target="_blank">carolanns sewing room</a>). Maybe I'll find time to post pictures of more of them before Christmas, but don't hold your breath. Fortunately dolls don't change size and thus I will be able to use (and photograph) these sweaters for years to come.<br />
<br />
This is the first picture posted of Emma and Esme together. Can you see why I think they're a great pair?!TheTrueFrancinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09088541444518478659noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108527201004879057.post-89466588649507606722014-11-22T15:04:00.001-05:002014-11-22T15:08:16.628-05:00Meet Emma KatherineEveryone who has read my blog since the early days knows that the first Sasha dolls I ever saw (and loved) belonged to my childhood friends - sisters who owned a blonde and a brunette. I found a 1971 brunette that matched my memories and named her <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2010/07/meet-esme.html">Esme</a>. I already had a 1970 blonde named Enid, and while they were <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2010/07/early-70s-friends.html">great friends</a>, not quite the pair I remembered from childhood. Petite <a href="http://sasha3times.blogspot.com/2008/12/meet-enid.html">Enid</a> with her full center part was just a bit off the mark. She has since traveled off to a new home, and I now have a 1971 blonde I call Emma Katherine.<br />

Emma is a much better match to my memories. Her bangs are a bit wonky, but I think they can be sorted out and made at least a bit more even. The end pieces on the far right here come from behind the first row of hair, and searching through the pieces on the other side I see some short strands mixed in. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to coax them back where they belong.</div>

I love her dark blue eyes, and even the pale color of her lips that this era often fades too. I think that she and Esme Elizabeth are going to be fantastic sisters.</div>
