I have been privileged to see Kendal's Sasha Brood in their natural surroundings, of Kendal's home where she allows them to stand where ever they wish except in the Bathroom or Kitchen.
The display at this event was classic Kendal , beautifully thought out, wonderfully arranged and a joy to see.
I took many photo's as seeing them all together was wonderful and I did not want to miss any, so this post is very photo long as I'm going to share most if not all, I may need to do this in two parts.
So get a drink and take a seat and enjoy the feast we saw.

I'll stop here with this beauty and continue with a second post for her brood, so much to take note of and see.
Kendal had the little stands made to support the dolls in various positions and I'll be getting Paul to make me some but with a slight difference when time allows.
Part two b tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing the photos. The Sasha kids are so beautiful, so well dressed and so cleverly arranged. Good thing there were so many toys for the babies, so they didn't get bored and did mischief!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Kendal , having been a teacher knows not to leave her babies without something to entertain them or who knows what they'd have gotten up to! :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful collection of dolls, they're gorgeous. I loved how Kendal used the books and boxes, so simple and yet so effective. And not detracting from the dolls because of their simplicity. Thanks so much for taking and sharing all these lovely photos Dee :)

I agree and also about how Kendal used the books and stands etc to display them. You are welcome, I enjoyed taking them :)xx
DeleteThese are such wonderful photos of the Brood. I had the privilege of helping to set them up. Kendal was so particular about who they stood with and what they were holding and because of it the display was truly amazing. We were blessed that this lovely lady agreed to bring them for us, such a gift for all.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet, Kendal is a strict taskmaster and knows how to display dolls to show off their best side ;) It was a great idea to have Kendal bring her dolls for everyone to see, truly a once in a life time experience :)
DeleteKendal and Chon made a great job of the display, The Brood are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI agree Theresa :)
DeleteNow I wonder just WHO is daft enough to own ALL these dolls??? Surely she must be 'stark raving mad!' Guessing that it MUST be TIME to DOWNSIZE some now!
ReplyDeleteMmm I wonder too! I think she'll find it hard to down size but I know she'll keep the pick of the brood :) xx Good luck with the down sizing!
DeleteI was lucky to enough to help with the setting up (tying the books together with twine!) - so was able to get a good look at these beautiful dolls in their wonderful outfits. Yearn!
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have a chance to get up close and study them. These are such beautiful dolls ,beautifully dressed that it,s just a joy to see them en masse
DeleteA beautiful post Dee and thank you! I, too, was very fortunate to see each doll up close while helping a bit with the displaying....which was pure joy by the way and not a task at all. :)
ReplyDeleteKendal was so very generous of her time and her talent for dressing and displaying the Sashas. She brought them organized in their boxes and had specific ideas in mind when it came to the arranging of the dolls. The doll stands were wonderful and made of wood which is nice to see as opposed to metal stands. The use of the books and twine was pure inspiration. All so lovely. A once in a lifetime Sasha exhibit for me. Just amazing. :) xxx
How lucky to help set up and therefore get close to the dolls.
DeleteKendal's teacher comes out at these times and her organization and bossy .. I mean commanding manner arrive to assist in making her display the highlight of the event. so glad you were able to come and see it first hand :)xxx
