Mar. 30, 2009 - Sasha Dolls
Several years ago, I decided to make Bluejane an entire wardrobe for her American Girl doll. I went over to my Grandma's house, for a couple of days at a time, and slowly worked on it. We used a neat book that my Grandma has, called The Doll's Dressmaker. The book was very helpful, and the patterns were easy to adapt.
On certain of the pages, there were pictures of these enchanting little dolls, with sober faces, beautiful hair, and expressive painted eyes. Then and there, I fell in love with them. Little did I know where my admiration for these dolls would take me.
Looking in the back of the book, we discovered that they were Sasha Dolls, but we also found that they were no longer made. Doesn't it figure. I next went online, to discover more about the Sasha dolls, and the first thing that became obvious to me, was that they are quite expensive.
Now, over $100 may not seem like much for doll collectors, but for me, that just seems to be a bit too much. Yes, I truly love the dolls, and desire to have one, but I can't reconcile myself to the cost. There are so many other things that I could do with the money! I do know, that should I buy one, I will not pay above $150 dollars for it. Do they get that high? Oh, yes. Trust me. Certain dolls can get over $500 dollars.
I just want one cute little Sasha doll, even if I have to take a Gregor ( the boy Sasha dolls) and re-do his hair to make it a she. Other than the hair and the eyelashes, the Gregors and Sashas are no different. I would even take one that was battered, and not in terribly good condition.
So, now if I have gotten you excited about Sasha dolls, here a couple of links to find out more.
- Sasha-Dolls.com
- SashaDoll.com
- Allegro Melody Customized Dolls This one is a favorite of mine. The dolls are so pretty!
Of course, there is also Ebay, which I check often, hoping there will be a reasonable deal. I also joined a Yahoo group called Sasha Mart., You can find the information on that group if you scroll down on SashaDoll.com
Now you know my new "hobby", if you will. My family is sick of hearing about Sasha dolls, so I must turn to you!

Thanks for the comment!
No I don't mind if you don't tell me the age of your brother....sorry I shouldn't have asked.
Yeah I had a lot of fun in Chicago.....actually I wasn't afraid of breaking the items because for one thing the letters I read were encased in plastic and we couldn't actually hold the scroll.
The Sasha doll sound interesting! I hope you will be able to get one someday!

Aw, the dolls are pretty! When did they stop being made? They look kind of like from the time when our parents were little or something... you know what I mean? Not modern.
I hope you can find one for a good price.. maybe ebay will have something. 150 is a lot to pay for a doll, I have to agree! :-) I think the American Girl dolls are like 80ish dollars.
Hope you have a great weekend and I'll talk to you soon!

I've never heard of a Sasha doll...
making doll clothes and fixing them up sounds like a nice hobby :) I hope you can find a decently- priced one somewhere!
In answer to your question... I'm graduating alone.
No one I know personally is graduating from
homeschooling this year. ;-)
I am curious... how did you do both??
I hope you have a great weekend.

Haha, that's funny about the bumblebees! I was thinking I wouldn't want to get yellow because it might make my teeth look yellow. Thanks for the advice. :o)
Wow, you have chosen an expensive hobby! But I guess most every hobby could get expensive, if you'd let it. I hope you have success finding a Sasha doll.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with dolls, but I went to your link for your photo blog.
You have some really good pictures!!!
Do you have any more you are going to post?! *hopefully smiling* Seeing other people's photos inspires me, and gives me good ideas for my own photography. :-)
