Great post, love all the crowd getting into the spirit of the Olympic's and the band playing along.
Lucky your Doll's had four suitable white short sets in order to play against each other.Great action shots.
Fabulous, what a great time had by all both spectators and competitors alike. Well done to both teams!
I love that you included the fans watching the game. Looks like you had a lot of fun
Fantastic post. What clever photography and discovering a ball like that was a good find. Great idea. Thank you so much for sharing. Loved the flags on the drums.
What a wonderful server Jacob is
The ball is actually original Gregor Sport - it came in the box with Nicholas James.
Hi! I love this post!
It's just great! All the pics are great. It was a most interesting match! I think all the lovely players are winners!
Fantastic post. Obviously had some excellent help with the ball throwing to enable you to catch it on your camera. Great action and enjoyment shines through. I recognised the Gregor Sport yellow ball.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Volleyball on the TV, such a hectic and fast moving/scoring game. Had me exhausted just watching it.
I was planning to do a Sasha beach volleyball scene using my beach backdrop but still struggling to improvise a net to fix to my Sasha Doll clothes rail. (Had saved some of the red netting from the Tangerines and Satsumas but now can't find where I put them. Just typical!)
Sasha love and thanks for this superb post. From Kendal.
I just love this post! What amazing action photos! So much detail! (so much hard work setting it all up!!!) The whole storyline is just wonderful. I am full of admiration. Thank you so much. xxx karin

Very inspiring photography. It's a great reminder of a moment in time in London. Where did the Union Jack boots come from? I love them!
The union jack boots came from the Sasha Festival in June 2012. Dawn Law and the other organisers did a wonderful collection of table gifts for the festival including the Olympic outfits.
Thanks so much for your reply; I've just had a look at the 2012 programme and I know my daughter and I would have loved it- we'll be looking out for next year's festival now! Thanks again!
This was the first festival in England for 12 years, the 30th altogether - mostly they are held in the USA because most Sasha collectors live there, but we got lucky this year. I know that UK based collectors do have fun days but not 3 day festivals except when the main one comes to the UK, as it did this year.
