SF Bear Family

Dear Readers,

I recently made a trade with Jennifer from PLUSHPUSSYCAT!  I received this beautiful Bear Family (probably the Petite Bear from the Japanese line of Sylvanian Families)!  they are so cute and I love their clothes!   They were much needed for my new dollhouse which I will hopefully finish decorating before Christmas!

The trade was only for the bears so I didn't expect anything else but Jennifer generously gifted me with beautifully photographed postcards!  How cute is Strawberry Shortcake and her friend Orange Marmelade!  

Thank you so much Jennifer for this awesome trade!!!

EDIT:   The cake featured in the birthday card above was made by the Mouse Market!  Sorry for the confusion!

Miniature Clay Cakes

Dear Readers,

I recently won a giveaway hosted by Aranera!  She has a really cute blog about Sylvanian Families called EVERGREEN VILLAGE!

She mailed me these adorable clay cakes!  Included in her package was also a hand-made felt bag!  Thank you so much darling Aranera for your precious presents!

I admire very much people who, like Aranera, write beautiful stories about her Sylvanian Families and takes great pictures to show the dollhouses and the critters alike.  

I follow her blog so I don't miss out any post entries she publishes.  It's fascinating to me to read stories written by fans.  I don't own all the dollhouses or critters I want so it's wonderful to see what other people can do with them.  Many of the blogs I follow show incredibly well-staged photos and I enjoy Sylvanian Families vicariously thanks to them.

You can see on the right-hand side of my blog a list of the website I follow.  I divided them in two sections: One section for every blog and the other one for blogs dedicated to Sylvanian Families.  I still have more blogs to add so my list will soon grow longer :)

Have a good weekend everybody!

Presents from PlushPussyCat

Dear Readers,

A few weeks ago, I received a big package.   I was really curious about what it could be because I was not expecting anything.  It wasn't my birthday and it wasn't any special day at all. Turned out it was Jennifer from PLUSHPUSSYCAT who sent me a box full of miniature goodies!  Jennifer is a very sweet friend from whom I learned a lot about miniature.  I actually found out about other miniature blogs thanks to her.

I was in the middle of my cabinets renovation so I couldn't post anything for quite a long time.  Then I was busy creating my Sylvanian Families village so that took a while as well!  Finally now that it is setup, I can properly show you the gifts she has sent me!!!

It was a fantastic selection of miniature items including a super cute Re-ment Hello Kitty convenience store food set!   I was also impressed by the clay miniatures because it's handmade and each piece is unique.  I also received stickers, candies and stencils!

Here are the handmade minis!

I had to show you a close-up of the chocolate cake because it's so tiny but so perfect.  Look at those cherries and the frosting!!!  I can't even make real-size frosting curls that well!

The wedding cake was also gorgeous and it's perfect for a Sylvanian Families wedding reception!

And my favorite is the flower bouquet!!!  

Hello Kitty ribbons ♥

Kitchen pots and pans (Iwako erasers!)

Miniature Rabbits (they look like Mini Sylvanians!)

To give you and idea about the size of those items, I have displayed them in a Barbie dollhouse.  Can you spot where they are?

Yes! On the kitchen stove and counter!

Let's play this game again!  Can you spot something in the room below that's from Jennifer's package?

The Iwako Rabbits on Licca's bed!

If you noticed the Re-ment's dog in the previous picture, then you probably remember it was  a gift sent to me by MoonRabbit_Ly's Miniature World!  It came with the heater which I am also using in the bedroom.

Thank you Jennifer and Chloe for sploiling me so much and sending me those wonderful gifts!  I have setup another Barbie dollhouse to show more of the items I have received but it will take a few more days.  It was very humid this weekend and I feel quite ill because of this hot weather.  Hopefully it will cool down soon.

Have a wonderful week everybody!
