My Studio Doll Trudi was sitting near the Studio Doll display during the Saturday morning.

Florence and Reuben talk to Jocelyn's Ella about the pram (before Ella's hair was replaited) |
There were several special displays on Saturday morning but they were not up for long enough!
As far as I could work out, the displays were a dedication to Rosie Shortell's, Dawn Law's wonderful prams, a Course doll display, a Studio doll display and an display featuring the work of some UK based Sasha seamstresses.
I somehow didn't manage to capture photos of all the displays, they were only up for a very short period of time and were not announced. I think some of them could have stayed in place during the afternoon because not all the tables were needed for lunch or the afternoon sales tables.

Rosie's display for the 2012 Sasha Doll festival was the Midsummer Night's Dream costumes. It was rather wonderful to see these again 12 years later.

The very early Doucet pram with two wheel sizes |
Catherine French has provided the following update, via the comments on this post, on that rare pram:
Re the more unusual pram with different sized wheels:
A French Museum, Les Arts Decoratifs, has one in its archives.
The Museum gives an approximate date for this model 1935-40 but this is probably incorrect as we believe that the prams were not put into production until the 1950’s and we have seen a photo of an early 1960's pram with the same hood and apron fabric.
It was probably made as a special item for the Au Nain Bleu toyshop in Paris.

Such lovely photos and memories. Thanks Anna. Will find a way of putting them in a file as great reference.
