CHATTING AND SNAPPING 2019

Well the weather was in our favour after the threat of possible rain over the weekend earlier in the week, the day dawned bright and sunny. Perfect travelling weather.


Some of the early birds getting onto the Island of the Carrot Bean.


The Kracken was already attacking a ship !


 but the island soon started to fill with pirates ready to Parlay !

 a motley lot to be sure !






 Bertie B and Ollie stayed in their boat avoiding the cutthroats











 Even the parrots were not  safe !


 I loved Jane's glamorous Pirate at the back !


It was a dangerous place to visit Saturday !


 On the sales tables the lovely Marilyn was ready to sell her wears.

 Judith of dolly doodles was up and ready.





next to Judith was Brenda


selling original Sasha factory clothing




 beside Marilyn was Janet M D 's table of goodies




above and below is Diane's table






 then over the way beside Janet was Gayle





 and then Theresa's table

 then Jane D's table


Jane always has some great furniture pieces, I snapped up the three wooden chairs for a friend who's asked me to look for some for her.

 more of Jane's.

It seems that some how I totally missed Pam 's table which was already surrounded by people and she did have a lineup of lovely Sasha's for sale on the window ledge and also Ginny of A passion for Sasha ! Who had a lovely full table with lots of lovely colour!


The raffle table was full to overflowing , we had to use another table once we had the space and it took £926 in raffle ticket sales , the highest amount ever for the Chat n Snap.






 The doll adoption table ( above and below ) did well and I know at least four of the dolls on this table were sold and it could have been more!


over on the other side were the visiting dolls.


A couple of well dressed school girls belonging I believe to Catherine French.

 more visitors




This row of gems belongs to Jane Mc

 Theresa's clan


Jane's girls again


Laura H's brother and sister studio dolls





the dolls in the bright clothes belonged to Teddy.





Julie W girl moving in at the side, looking quite shy .



Diane brought along some Sasha curio's so people could see them, from early production, books and fake Sasha's.








 and some fake Mexican Sasha's.



 I'll finish with the photo of Ollie and Bertie who look more like they are out for a day's fishing than taking part in a pirate parlay!

It total we raised around £1600 plus for the charity and had a lovely day while doing so, many thanks to everyone who took part on the day and from afar.

I've already agreed to next years event especially as I have a great theme planned which I know those who attend will make look fantastic as they do every year with their dolls.

  2. What a wonderful day it seems to have been. Each year seems to bring more things to buy and to look at.
    Hope all the Sashas had a great time chatting while the grownups did plenty of snapping photos and snapping up things the kids couldn't live without!

    Bertie - I have my eye on you long distance. Don't forget to take the ocaisional shower while you stay with Mrs. Mum and BRUSH YOUR HAIR!

    1. It is a great Sasha get together I have to say :)

      Bertie says his hair can only be brushed every Wednesday and he cannot shower due to having to brush his hair only on Wednesday ? !

  5. What a fantastic time you all had Dee, the displays and the sales tables are just lovely. Thanks so much for getting the chairs for me, I'm so glad you were able to get all three :) My kids will finally have somewhere to do their homework and eat their tea now. ;)
    That's great news on the amount raised, well done to all involved.
    And that was a beautiful girl in the brown dress on the sales tables!!!

  6. What a fearsome gathering of Pie-rats! The Royal Navy must have been on high alert that day. What an all around great event - everyone had a fun time and money was raised for a very worthy charity. I thoroughly enjoyed all the pics here and on FB. Well done, Dee!
