Dolls and gifts

It is quite difficult to take good pictures when the lighting is wrong. The Christmas tree is in a place where it is hard to catch the light during the day. And it's even worse in the evening. It is also tricky to position the dolls to have them looking their best. Sasha dolls have very sweet faces, but it is not easy to capture that with a camera. I've tried. :)



Elvine was wondering if she would get a monkey toy like Anthony's. 


She went to sleep with her other toys, dreaming of a monkey.


She got, it of course, as she is a very nice and sweet baby girl.




Here she is with her very own monkey toy from a Boyd's Bears' vintage collection!



All the babies in our Sasha town with their gifts this year.


The big Sasha dolls love their new Christmas tree. It has molded needles, and it looks like a real one. We had a lot of fun decorating it.




Anthony was so happy with his new boat.


Kvitana wished for a copy of A Christmas Carol. She likes reading a lot. 



Yasmina wanted a Raggedy Ann doll. The doll is also from a vintage Boyd's Bears' collection.



Tomas received a new car with a puppy.


A lovely, new teddy bear for Vera!


A copy of Nutcracker to read for Ivana


and a felted elephant for Cora



Sophia added another bear to her collection - she adores vintage bears. This one is a rusty brown, and his tag says that his name is T. Farley Wuzzie!





The mini-books that I bought are amazing. They have their abridged but wonderfully composed stories printed inside with lovely illustrations. 


I found all of the Boyd's Bears' toys in this Etsy store. I'm very impressed with all of them; they're in wonderful new condition, and with their tags intact. 


I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. Happy New Year to all! I wish you all the best!
