THEN THERE WERE SEVEN....

Well i now had five girls but only one boy. On Shelly's site was a very handsome Gregor with red hair wearing a green corderoy suit, in fact there were two almost identical but as i have said there is that sasha moment/look the one that says "Hi Mum, where have you been? I have been waiting here for you, can I come home now?" I resisted for all of about a week , i even mentioned him to my husband, who said " Duncan" "Duncan?" " yes , you should call him Duncan" well you am i too argue! I contact Shelly and  she held him for me. However Duncan was not to be number seven he became number eight.

Number Seven turned out to be living in America. I had wanted a Kiltie, real red hair tartan dress. I have seen and bid on a few on ebay but was always out bid.
I was scanning the sasha's on ebay.com when i found a kiltie with a starting price but also a bin price but did not say they would send to uk.So i send seller a message asking would she send to uk?
when i when back on computer several hours later, she had replied that yes she would send to uk...hurrah!! but when i went to buy her someone had already bid!!!!! I knew she would now go for more than i would pay ,what with costs of import and postage, so i sent the seller a message to that effect and resigned myself to looking out for another.

Then i received a few days later a message from the seller saying than she had another kiltie that she was going to be selling for a friend the next month but if i was interested she would sell her to me now, her friend had been a toyshop owner and this doll had been on display in shop. Well the price was great so i agreed and that is now Grace arrived from america to join the family while poor Duncan was still waiting.

Duncan arrived home from Shellys a few weeks later and when i gave him his wash and new clothing, i found a perfect round hole in his foot, which Shelly said meant he'd been a display doll ! So two exdisplay dolls came home to the village, to join the growing family.....NOW THERE WERE EIGHT....

ONLY FIVE?

The problem? with being a lover of Sasha is that one sasha looks totally different from another even though they may have been made at the same time, their faces appeal to each person in a dfferent way. I may love the look of a sasha that some else would not give a second glance!
They also seem to connect with you, you may look at a row of sasha's but you return to a particular one, that's the one that calls to you!
Now having seen my brunette, i also was drawn to a 70's blonde ( yes another blonde) in a sweet yellow outfit and what with one thing and another (layaway) she too joined the family. Shelly told me that she'd been called Miriam by her previous owner, so that is her name Miriam but i call her Mirry for short. So now there were six....
