Well the postman called today with a lovely packet from Ginny's of A Passion for Sasha and inside was a card and outfit from Jenni for my birthday.
It was just what I would have picked myself , so I had to find one of the Sasha's who still needed to change but there are only two or three, but when I found Bobby who I have rechristened Tatiana or Tatty for short I decided that she'd be perfect.
She was not too keen because she prefers trousers but since it's very hot today, she finally agreed as long as I let her keep her trainers on!
So here she is standing in the sunshine.
A lovely lilac gingham and cord pinafore set.
Mabel Lucie is very happy that one of her sisters is now wearing the same as her since everyone else seems to be wearing matching clothes if not colours!
"Are you all right Mabel Lucie? " asks Tatty seeing her sister leaning against the pot instead of standing up
" It's so hot and I feel so tired ! " sighs Mabel Lucie " I feel all wobbly like my inner strings just do want to hold me up!"
" Don't worry !" says Tatty " I'll help you back into the cool and you can rest up "
Tatty looks over towards Mum " Mum can we go in now it's too warm for Mabel Lucie and she needs to rest!"
Mum sees how pale Mabel Lucie's looking, so scoops them both up and takes them inside for a nice cool drink and an ice cream !

Many Thanks to Jenni for a lovely birthday gift which looks great on Tatty and makes Mabel Lucie, whose stringing's given up so badly she cannot stand or hold her head up! So a job to do!., have a sister looking the same as her :)

Happy Ever So Late Birthday, to a great friend!
ReplyDeleteHope your training as s Sasha surgeon allows you to help Mabel Lucie without sending her off to a different clinic.
Many Thanks for being a great friend Jenni :) It is wonderful when you find true honest friends in the Sasha and Dolly world :) xx
DeleteI fear that I may have a full operating list by the time my cord arrives but at least I can now do it myself and not have to send them away and pay the postman a fortune just to take them there and back. xxx
What a lovely pressie but maybe in the heat, the girls need to just run around in their vest and knickers like we did as children, or just their knickers even....they are only little girls after all and the corderoy may be a bit too warm for them. I hope that Mable Lucie is feeling a lot better today and will up and about again soon after a little 'rest' ;)

It is a lovely Present Sharon and where you are it is probably still hot but we are in England where one day's too hot for clothes and the next so cool you need a cardigan!! and today is one of the cardie days, so just as well they are not running about half naked ! :)
DeleteMable Lucie is just waiting on the correct operating equipment to arrive before she's up and holding her head proud once again!! :)xx
Indeed another delightful birthday outfit which certainly suits Tatty with her paler colouring and I rather like the trainers with it!
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few here who are feeling a little like Mabel Lucie (although they are still able to just about hold a pose on their own! Looking like rather an expensive time ahead for me as don't have the necessary strength in my hands to do the job myself!
Thank you Kendal, Tatty would only wear the new pinafore if she could keep her trainers on and since they were the right colour it worked out quite well :)
DeleteI think you need to invite Brenda and her restringing equipment for tea one day, you could discuss Sasha while she does a job lot !! :)
A wonderful birthday present! Tattie and Mabel Lucie look so pretty in their outfits. I really like the tennis shoes on Tattie and the shades of purple are lovely. I think Mabel Lucie is just adorable!!! She is lucky to have a nice sister to help her when she is "tired". We have a few "tired" kids here on the farm too. A great post! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginger. I do like these sets by Ginny of A passion for Sasha, so was very happy to receive this one. :)
DeleteMabel Lucie looks so like a really little girl and she is not alone in being 'tired' here also! :)xxx
