PROPS...

Now this year I want to spend some time getting props etc so that when I do the posts there will be what I need to make the setting right.

Today I received this lovely pine chest of drawers.


I have always loved miniature furniture and this is such a nice item. Raven very kindly offered to show how it looks beside a Sasha.


The drawers are a good size , so will hold clothes for the Sasha's.

At the beginning of the year I also bought an American girl desk from the US. It was a very good price and when I asked the seller if she also had the chair, she said  yes , it was damaged but she would send it along with the desk for free.


Again Raven show's how well the AG things can be used for Sasha.


The book is a complete edition of Alice in wonderland with a beautiful cover, it comes in the box you see to the side.




The chair had a loose part at the side and was also in two halves, the top broken off the bottom but I left it in the capable hands of my props man and he repaired it and it now swivels!

So lots of nice new props but!!! Now I need somewhere to set them up! I did have a set of three wide shelves built to make rooms but there are not in best place for light and space, so I need to have a rethink, so that I can get these next few stories onto the blog.

  2. Lucky you and your Sashas! Wishing that I had more room here for such super items.
    I always feel that the AG acessories fit the smaller Sasha size much better than they do for the American Girl Doll.
    Greatly looking forward to the stories around them.

  5. Lovely furniture, Dee. My Sashas say they are items of quality furniture, not props! Connie and Emily are discussing the age of that 'antique' chest of drawers and wondering which auction house you found it in.....I think I'm in for a little Sasha family expense, even though we are not adopting anybody else just now.

  6. Lovely furniture Dee, I have always wanted that AG desk and chair but it's very expensive to ship it from the US...and those darn customs charges!!!! One day I have told myself that I will go and visit an AG store and bring back furniture for my dolls! The chest is very cute too, but I have so many 'plans' for the desk!!
