Whether it was from looking at the newspaper article on Joy Beverley of The Beverley Sisters , who died this week at the grand age of 91 and remembering seeing them when I saw a child singing on various shows of the time but as soon as I looked at this new arrival in the Village the name Babette sprang to mind !
You all thought I was going to say Joy, but the article had naturally mentioned Joy's twin sisters Babs ( Babette) and Teddie ( Hazel ), who made up the other two thirds of their singing trio.
And it was Babette's name that sprang up and would not go away! So this is Babette,( Bab's for short) whose just arrived this morning to join us here in the Sasha Village.
So here is Babette my new to me girl.
Bab's is a 68 Sasha my favourite year, which is why, when I saw her I was smitten!
I asked about her and two other Sasha's that were sitting on Shelly's but I decided to buy my brunette button nose girl first because you don't see many of them and I had fallen for her the minute I saw her. So Bab's here was left to sit and wait !
But being a great believer in fate I went off on my merry way acquiring three other button noses children and possibly a couple of others however Babette was sitting waiting patiently for my return !
So a couple of month's back I asked about layaway, which was accepted and then poor Babette had to wait while I again went off round the houses before finally paying for her and having her sent home.You can see she was not impressed at having to wait!
So Bab's has had a wash and also a hair wash as although her hair looked clean on the top , it looked dirty on the ends, so she is now wrapped in a towel and waiting for some new clothes to wear.
So Bab's will be back soon to show you her new clothes. Pardon? What did you say Bab's ? Oh The other Bab's was a twin ! Yes that's true but I'm not buying any more Sasha's this year... pardon... well of course if I was to see your twin Teddie I would of course try and snap her up... but I am up to my total now and am not really allowed any more....Pardon......What do you mean that's never stopped me before! who have you been talking to? ..... Hattie, Toby, Bella, Robin, Erik,Edward.... all right no need to go on .....

Babette is lovely, I can see why you are smitten.
ReplyDeleteThank you , they are so hard to resist !
DeleteOo-er, Dee, gorgeous though she is, I think you might have your hands full - or even more full - with her around! Babs seems to have caught on to just who in The Village are the dishers of dirt on Mrs. Mum and is ready to tell you what's what, into the bargain!
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty and I'm sure Teddy and Joy will follow her home more quickly than you are letting on...... I'm off to look at Shelly's to see if any likely candidates have suddenly been marked 'sale pending.' Don't trust you, at all!
Jenni There are so many ones here who like nothing better than to take the micky out of their mum! Only a few of them are on the shy side I seem to attract the ones with opinions!
DeleteMm Teddie and Joy... now that would be nice but I am supposed to be on a dolly buying break! Until January.....unless of course they are a bargain too good to miss.... ;) xx
Babs is just gorgeous Dee and I have so enjoyed seeing her pretty face on Shelly's site while she was a lady in waiting. :). Congratulations on adopting Babs and she is a beautiful addition to your Sasha family and especially to your wonderful 1968 children---fantastic! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginger. Lucky for me she waited about until I finally managed to go back for her! Sometimes these things are meant to be! My 1968 children are growing into a lovely little group :) xx
DeleteShe's a real beauty, she's well worth saving up for and waiting for!
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree Viv , sometime you just have to give in ;)
DeleteQuote from the above post.........'but I'm not buying any more Sasha's this year as I am up to my total now and am not really allowed any more'.......Are you sure about this as I was thinking that you must now be over your 2015 quota and with still four months to go! (Bet you won't be making such a limiting New Year's Resolution next year!)
ReplyDeletePerhaps we might be allowed to view a post of ALL your NEW dolls this year..... or maybe you are prepared to take a public lie detector test?
Like some of the other Sasha collectors. I too have been wondering who had finally bought this beautiful girl after seeing her 'sale pending' on Sashadolluk for such a very long time. (Should have guessed it was you!)
Anyway, congratulations on increasing your super 1968 doll selection! I wish you both every happiness and enjoy plenty of fun together.
No not sure at all Kendal :) I will have to go and do a check to see if she's number Ten or number Eleven in which case a donation to the Chat n Snap charity will be needed!!
DeleteI'm liking this idea of a post on this years newcomers ! Mind you will it make me feel guilty..... no! I think this years group are exceptional and could not have been walked away from...especially the 1968's my most favourite year... I do believe if someone was to offer me the choice of an Np or six 1968 Sasha's and Gregors I would take the 1968's.
Now I am off to see who arrived this year... If I can remember... I may have to refer to the blog!! :)
I think she's an absolutely beauty Dee, love her gorgeous wider face and lovely blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteI might have to do a post of the comings and goings here too....I've been quite good this year I think!! ;)
LOL

Thanks Sharon, I did not realise she had a wide face until she arrived and then someone on fb mentioned which made me go check her against Belle who is wide faced, was so pleased I do love the wider faced Sasha's.
DeleteGood I would love to see ALL the comings and going over there in Spain :)xx
