Her dress is a Designs by Diane and is like a brushed flannel.  She has white bloomers, socks and brown boots to match her dress.

Danika will come signed with a certificate.  She is a one of a kind and can never be exactly duplicated.  :)  

Danika is ON SALE for $295  with shipping dependent on location.  I may be contacted here 

She photographed so well in front of the pear tree! :)

(SALE PENDING) this is usually a site to showcase my custom dolls, I am offering here for sale my beautiful Sasha studio doll. ( I would not be selling her except by necessity because of the fast need for a new car!)

 Her name is "Saphire" and she is featured in Anne Votaw's book on page 110.  Her entire outfit is shown there as well.  We spent the day with Anne and Susanna Lewis and Anne photographed the doll for the book at that time.  Her eyes are shown in closeup on page 131 of the same book -top center.

So top to bottom.  This is a very special an unique doll because she comes with a history of where she was purchased.  She was purchased at Marshall Field in 1967 and is one of a few known dolls featured in the background of a photograph taken for the press with Sasha Morgenthaler and group section manager Robert B Carlson.  (The newspaper photograph is shown on page 109 of Anne's book)   So that's actually her in the background.  She is absolutely one of a kind.
She was originally purchased with the black girl in Sasha's hands.

So now that you have her very special background, here is her top to bottom.
She is a 1967 CI Vinyl doll in a dark complexion.  As such, when she is exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time, the vinyl takes on a greenish cast from the UV lights.  Someone displayed her at one point in sunlight and her legs have taken on that greenish color in large places.  I have had her for many years and it has not worsened but I have always kept her in a dark cabinet, seated with a cotton blanket or towel over her legs.  Fortunately her outfit covers her arms and rest of her body.

She is in excellent condition with red/auburn human hair wig that is soft and shiny.  I conditioned it when I got her several years ago and it has kept the hair strong and from getting dry and brittle.
As a vinyl Sasha, she does have the same issue they all have with the white plasticizer rising to the surface, so every year or so, she needs to be carefully gone over with a petroleum jelly (Vaseline, no additives).  As vinyl is a petroleum product, this keeps her "skin" perfect and gets rid of the white that surfaces on these early vinyl dolls

 She has no smoke, mold or other odors and her outfit is just gorgeous!  This special Sasha outfit has so much attention to detail - the pleats in the dress, the velour white sweater underneath, matching blue sandals and her blue hat with a chin strap.
This is the outfit that the production doll "Elke"'s clothing  was modeled after (in pink).
Her outfit is tagged multiple times - in the slip, on the sweater and on the jacket itself.  Her slip has some marks on it - probably where she was put in a doll stand at one point (something I never did) and the front of her white sweater has a very slight yellowing.  I have not tried to wash it.  The elbow of one sleeve on the jacket has a small brownish spot - she also has a brown spot on her upper thigh that I imagine happened at the factory with the coloring since it seems to be in the vinyl and part of it.

She has her original Sasha wrist tag. .  She is signed on her foot.
Her stringing is loose - I have never restrung her, as it is original but I can do so if the buyer is interested.
One additional note - the book states that she has bobby pins in her hair - I removed these before I stored this doll and I have been unable to locate them.  I did not want the metal reacting with her hair.  I have looked through my personal Sasha items and have been unable to find them :(

Saphire is $8000 and payment must be in form of a cashier's check or bank check.  Shipping will be by overnight express, double boxed and will vary by location - I will split shipping costs if necessary, to get her to you safely.    Because of my circumstances for having to part with her, I'm afraid I can't do a layaway right now.... ..Please keep scrolling to see all her pictures.   I may be reached here 

 I will send this newspaper reprint with her - it is 8 by 10".

(SOLD) Meet Seana!  She began as a 1980's girl.  Her rooted hair has been hand dyed in a one of a  kind red color and her features repainted.

She resembles early production Sasha dolls.  

Head to toe:  She has a little neck dent in the front - I have disassembled her and heated the neck to reshape it, which worked (it almost came to a point in front).  It is much better now but it still likes to "snap" into place sometimes.  She is still able to be posed well and she has been restrung.  

Her hair was dyed in a painstaking process with four colors of Rit dye, several times over,  leaving it a blending of different shades of red.  Her eyes are brown.  

She is a "dress me" and comes only in the underwear shown, allowing me to keep her price lower.

 

Seana is $320 and I can be contacted here 

(SALE PENDING) Meet Corette!  Corette means "little maid" and I think it's a fitting name for this young-looking Sasha girl.

 She began as an earlier Gregor doll with partially missing features and bad hair.  Now she has been remade into a one of a kind studio style Sasha girl!

She's a bit patriotic looking for this Memorial Day weekend (unintentional; it just happened to be the outfit I selected for her!)
But she is ready for summer in her striped dress that was seamstress made, white socks and cobalt colored shoes.

She has a Monique Gold wig in dark reddish brown and green eyes with freckles.  Her larger round eyes, full lips, short hair and smaller doll mold give her a younger child look. 

Her little dolly friend is not included, but her pink hair clip is.

Corette is $390 and I may be contacted here.  Paypal is preferred.  (I can take a credit card through Paypal also .) 

(SALE PENDING) Meet Kamryn!  Kamryn began as a 1980's Gregor.  She has a wide face, making a lot of fun to paint in a unique way!

 She comes with her toy bunny rabbit as well.  

She wears a summery outfit of a simple white shirt, blue gingham checked skirt in Sasha tradition and white shoes and socks.  She has blushed cheeks, a feature Sasha liked to use on her earlier dolls, and freckles.
We had a lot of fun taking these pictures -- hope you like them!

"A windy day!" 

"We had fun in the grass" 

"And playing in the yard" 

"Until it began to rain - but I found this umbrella and pair of red galoshes in the closet!"  

 "Whoo - more wind!"  

Kamryn is $385 and comes with her bunny.  (If you'd like her extras -a pair of red overshoes and umbrella, they are $10 extra)  I can be contacted here 

(SALE PENDING) A brand new Sasha creation - she is unnamed.  I have sifted through so many names in the past decade for each doll that I will leave this one up to her new owner!

She began as a 1970's doll with trimmed bangs.  She was inspired by Sasha's girls in white, but also by the black haired studio dolls with short dark hair and dark eyes.  She has her original stringing which is in good condition.  She is overall in nice shape. 

 Her wig is a Monique Gold wig that I have washed and slightly heat treated so that it has lost that "ultra shine" and uniform, flat shape and is now a bit more casual and natural looking.
Her features have been repainted  Her lips are stained rather than actually painted, for a more natural look.

 It was a windy day for picture taking!

" White spring flowers in the grass!"

 .."And in my hair!" 

 Her dress was made by Diane's Delights.  It is very white and smocked.  I added a pair of white socks and black shoes for contrast.  She needs a pair of bloomers, but in their absence, she's wearing a pair of white ribbed Sasha underpants. (I didn't want to hold up her sale by ordering a pair of doll bloomers from Ebay!)

She comes signed and with a certificate, on which I will put her owner chosen name if you like. :)  This lovely "black and white" girl is $395 and overseas shipping is available.   I may be contacted here
