So sorry for neglecting my Sasha duties this week , being away from my PC I have not had a chance to reply to emails etc but will be up bright and early tomorrow morning and ready to get some work done . An update will be coming very soon packages have arrived already ;o)
Candy and Riley are doing really well , Riley is a good baby so far lol , I will be adding some more pics of him soon but managed to take this one with my phone not that great but his eyes were open ;o)
Now this one I think is fab , it is the proof of one taken at the hospital .
I wanted to show you my brothers Coca cola can collection , he sent me these pics this week, he has been collecting for years and has 998 cans and counting . Every time a special edition can comes out he tries his best to obtain one and when people go on holiday he always asks for one to be brought home lol . I think his collection looks great just thought you might like to see , Would be much better if they were all dolls however lol .
Riley is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteand what a collection of coke can's!
See and they talk about us doll collector's!
Glad hear it's all going well
Dee x
Whoa! I didn't realise there were so many variations!!
ReplyDeleteDon't suppose I you would swap Riley for a couple of coke cans :) Thought not! But it was worth a try!!
LOVE Riley!! Please give him a hug from me!!
I did ask for you Ronny but she is smitten with him lol maybe when he gets noisier might for two bottles of vodka lol x x
DeleteI like Riley better than the coke cans...Will your brother be celebrating when he gets to 1000? I'm going to Texas in March, if that's any help.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you and your family
Jocelyn
I should think he will lol he said yes please one from Texas would be great of you have the space the can can be empty too so no weight lol
DeleteWill send you some monies x x
DeleteDon't need any money, Shelly - it won't cost much and somebody over there will drink it for me (I don't like Coke!).
DeleteThank you so much Jocelyn let me know if I can return the favour in any way ;o) xxxx
DeleteAwww handsome little fellow and he has a very quizical look in the first photo, love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd my goodness that is a whole lot of Coke cans!
I wonder do we have any unusual ones here? Though he probably has them already!
Big hugs Sharon in Spain xx
If you see anything unusual that would be great Sharon would love to get. Him to 1000 can send costs no probs x x
ReplyDeleteSuper photos of new baby Riley. Love the pose of the official portrait one. Hadn't realised that these were done. A vast difference from my days of giving birth.
ReplyDeleteI just love to see other's collections. I always encouraged the pupils when they came up into junior school my class to collect items... if they hadn't already got a collection. They ranged from the usual pencils, rubbers, rulers, stone medicinal bottles, to soaps, coins, scent bottles, hankies, fans and soft toy elephants.... that I can still remember. They often bought then into school and gave a talk on why, how they started, how they continued collecting and how they were displayed.
I have a huge collection of hundres of leather book marks and used to display them on pinboards all around the walls in my old houses but here there isn't the available room so they are now in boxes.
This display of Coca Cola tins is truly magnificent. Is each one completely different or are there some doubles for future trading?
Glad that I haven't got to dust them!
Unfortunately I don't go anywhere special these days so can't offer to bring an ususal one back.
How are they catalogued? Date, country of origin, size, rarity or cost? Are most empty then on account of the weight nestling on those shelves?
Sasha love from Kendal...who likes to see or learn something new every day if she can.
i am informed that there is only one of each can on display of course extras are sometimes kept elsewhere to trade . I believe that they are catalogued by countries . I know when he buys them himself he makes a tiny hole in the bottom and drains the can so the opener is intact which makes them more collectable but I think just owning a waif can lol is enough ;o)
DeleteThere must be a large collectors base as last year there were five limited edition Coca cola bottle sold only at the Olympic village, people were going crazy for them and they sold on Ebay for over £500 crazy !!! you could get a really nice Sasha for that lol
I always wanted to collect glass paperweights but never did I have one on my desk thats enough lol.
love Shelly xxx
Thanks for that infomation (especially about draining the liquid through a hole in the bottom and not using the actual opener. Will pass on this detail) as I'm trying if possible to get a can bought over from Argentinia and one from Belguim later this year.
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame to only just hear of your dream of wanting to collect glass paperweights as it must have been only about two years ago that I sold on my sixteen glass paperweight collection (which I had personally gone over to choose from the actual Isle of Wight Company when on holiday in Dorset or buy from their stand at the Birmingham NEC Fair) as there wasn't enough room to display them since the arrival of the 'far too many'' Sasha Dolls.
Sasha love from Kendal.
