Sasha Celebration - part 7

Sunday morning of the Sasha Celebration was our final chance to get together before going home.  Theresa made sure the dolls ended the weekend with a party, so just before dinner on Saturday night she set up her doll barbecue and a picnic on the big table which had previously held all the raffle prizes.  On Sunday morning after breakfast we all brought our dolls to join the summer party.  It was fascinating seeing the different outfits, hairstyles, faces and personalities of each doll, each one is unique.  I don't think any of us counted how many were on the table - all 8 of ours were there, however if each person present put 3 dolls on the table this would make nearly 100.

A Gregor boy offers to pull the new trailer for the babies, our Nicholas James in his new beach shorts (made by Lorraine) pulls the wooden cart

Our babies Leo and Mabel in their new trailer, with Miranda watching, while Florence and Laura stood behind on the cart

An Iona toddler came to join the fun, as did Theresa's Twizel

The little Iona talks to the Gregor while Nicholas James looks on

Reuben (in his Chwe-Chwe shirt) went to help with the barbecue - his South African connections mean that he knows about the 'braai'

Some girls watch the picnic fun

A pretty little Esther toddler

Twins sit in the foreground while others have some interesting conversations, Trendon Elliott is standing behind the girl with the green hat (alongside Henry)

Somehow my photos of this party don't include a proper view of Trendon Elliott who was wearing the elephant shirt I made in 2013.

We also had a big group photo of all the doll collectors with the doll barbecue as the background (mine didn't come out unfortunately, but Lorraine has some good ones on her blog post), then all too soon it was time to say thank you and goodbye.

It was a wonderful weekend - thank you especially to Janet, Lorraine, Theresa and Tricia for making sure everything went smoothly and to every one who attended and made it so special.  I hope to take photos of all the items we won or bought during the Celebration soon.
