Firstly a warm welcome to my followers, thank you for following my new blog, I hope you enjoy.
Nine years ago on 23rd June 2011, I was lucky enough to go and meet Shelly at Sashadolluk and come home with not one, not two, but THREE Sasha dolls, all quite different. I still have them today and they are very special to me. They are named Charlotte, who is my 'mini me' and is dressed in a dress I made similar to one my Mum made me and my sister when we were young children. Amber who was named by my youngest son who was fourteen at the time, and the third is Emily who will be featured today.
Emily is a very strong character who has featured in many of my blog posts over the years. She doesn't put up with any nonsense that is for sure. She tends to be in charge of cooking whenever there is a party to be had, and enjoys planning and organising these things. She has been travelling with Henry to various places, the highlight was when she came with us to Germany and she had a very fun time over there. She likes to dress up on occasion and has a 'posh frock' to wear for such an event. But is also happy wearing dungarees when playing or in the garden.
When Emily has some alone time she likes to sit in the Arbour with a cuppa, a good book and watching the view of the sea. She is quite grown up for her age.
The colours in the garden are still lovely, although perhaps not quite as vibrant as they were a few weeks ago....no rain has had an impact!
The California Poppies are still looking lovely. Emily loves the way they open and close their heads in the morning and evening.
It has been a scorcher of a day today, so Sasha Haven has been pretty quiet the focus on being finding somewhere cool to sit or play!
Emily is from the sixties Gotz production and is a 'Pony Tail' girl, her hair having been designed to wear in a pony tail, although she also likes wearing it down as well as seen in today's photographs.
