Mini Lalaloopsy Flower Fairies

Dear Readers,

Do you remember when I posted in Spring about the Mini Lalaloopsy Flower Fairies?  I have been waiting for them to show up in stores and I finally got a chance to see them a few weeks ago.  I had been looking for a pretty house for them when I found something even better!!!  A treehouse!  It was an old Fisher-Price Little People Fairy and Unicorn Treehouse that was part of a bigger toy lot at a garage sale.  It was super cheap and was just the right size for my dolls.

It was very clean and well-cared for so I didn't need to scrub anything or remove the stickers.  I just wiped it with a wet cloth and it was good as new!  My little fairies felt right at home :)


Happy Daisy Crown and Mari Golden Petals are having some tea with cake!

The pets are resting on top of the tree.

I love this series of Mini Lalaloopsy but I think MGA Entertainment could have done so much better with the accessories.  They could have totally given each of the doll a flower-theme teacup with a sweet pastry.  Buying all four dolls would then complete the set and the fairies could have gotten themselves a wonderful tea party!

Instead, we only have one doll with a teapot and teacup so I ended up buying two Bluebell doll to get a second matching cup.  The other accessories were either a handbag (ugh, like fairies would need that), some flower pots, flower necklace (which was the same model as the one for Mango Tiki Wiki doll but in a different color).  I really like the umbrella but the other accessories were rather boring.

The dolls themselves are very pretty and have such gorgeous dresses!  The only problem was with Rosebud Longstem who had a very floppy neck but otherwise the dolls were all good quality and had no stains on their face or body.

I have so much more to post about but this weekend is terribly busy!  It's the Mid-Autumn Festival on Monday and my son had been rehearsing for his first ever Lion Dance performance.  It's the last preparations until Monday night so I think I am quite nervous about it.  Even more nervous than my son I think...  Hahaha!  Do you feel the same when your children have to perform?

In any case, I tried to relax with some calming tea from Harney & Sons Fine Teas, specifically the Yellow and Blue Tea which contains chamomile and lavender.  The box is lovely and is worthy of display!  


I was so pleasantly surprised to see how big and beautiful the tea bags looked inside the tin.  And it smelled so good!  My husband said the scent was too much like perfume but I did not agree.

But the real test remained the taste.  My husband predicted that I would hate it because it would taste horrible.  But he was wrong.   It was absolutely amazing!!!!  Not too strong and not weak either.  So smooth and not the slightest bitter aftertaste (and I drank without milk or sugar).  

Now I'll try to catch some sleep and rest before another day begins.  I wish you all a lovely Sunday!

  2. So cute! I love their treehouse. I miss Harney & Sons. I would splurge once in a while at my old job and buy a tin or two. It always smelled so good.

    1. It's my first time buying from them! I had chamomile tea before but nowhere as good as this. I relied on the Amazon's ratings and just bought it to try. I think I'll eventually try the Paris blend once this one is done! :)

    1. I wasn't at all looking for a treehouse but when I saw it, I had an immediate liking to it. Usually, Fisher-Price Little People houses are too bulky but this one is somewhat right for the mini lalas.

  7. The tree-house is very cute! My daughter saw it too and her eyes started to glow and she said: Mum I want that beautiful house! =)
    She sat down with me to look at all the pictures in this post and she loved it =) And I can only agree =)

    That tea looks interesting, almost to fancy to drink =) Hope you got a good night sleep, I know I could need one too..

    1. Aaaaw! It;s an old Fisher Price Little People treehouse that is no longer in production! I only got it used but I think you may be able to find very nice treehouse for your daughter with another brand like Woodzeez. Sylvanian Families also sell treehouses but they are so pricey.

  8. What a lovely tree house! It's lucky of you to get it from garage sale. The mini Lalaloopsy seems enjoy the new home. I like the little figures and their beautiful dresses. The mini dolls are really well-designed. And I have to say it again, using a green tower as grass is a great idea! It looks so nice.

    The tea looks great! So does the tin. Thanks for the recommendation. I will go to the link and buy one because I have sleeping problems recently. I hope we both sleep tight. :)
