Lucky Adeline received a wonderful surprise when there was a knock on the door on New Year's Eve - our postman had brought a parcel for her that came all the way from Bavaria! Lovely Sascia makes amazing dolls (check out her website here) and she was so moved by our story that she wanted to send Adeline a gift. Isn't this a beautiful doll? The face is so charming and I just love the hair! Sascia even added a lovely touch by embroidering an "A" on the doll's chest. Adeline was so excited taking her doll from the box and immediately she had to get down off the chair and do some dancing with her new friend. Sascia's heart was touched by Adeline, and in turn her kindness and generosity has really touched mine. Blogging has brought many wonderful people into our lives and we're happy to count Sascia among our friends.
Sascia also taught me a new word "Schmuserl" - it comes from the German verb "to cuddle" and means a cuddly toy. I just love it and use it all the time now - both the verb and the noun! My ancestors spoke German, but all but a few terms of endearment have been lost over time, so I'm glad to add such great new words to my vocabulary!
Wow Adeline is a lucky girl and you are as well to have connected with so many wonderful people all over the world thru your blog.
And I'm just lucky for you guys
love you

I don't know which is cuter ~ the little doll with the embroidered A on her dress or the little doll in the denim dress!
Thanks for blogging, your posts always make my day :o)
