Thank you to all my lovely family and friends who helped celebrate my birthday this year - I had a great time, plus I was very spoilt! I received some wonderful Sylvanian Families related gifts that I would like to show you:
Macadamia Grove is excited to welcome the Woolly Alpaca family, and the Grunt Pig family!! I am very pleased to have received two sets of the alpacas, as I want to make the extra set of parents into custom grandparents, and the extra girl into a brother (what is with the lack of boys in the new Sylvanian Families sets??)
The Grunts were bought second hand (they are a retired family), so I feel very lucky to have got the rare triplets as well! Constance seems to have abandoned her dress for a random pair of green overalls, and I'm not sure they are really her, so Caitlyn is in the middle of making her a dress (this will be part of my Mothers Day present). No doubt the green overalls will be appreciated by someone else in the village!
Monsieur & Madame Chocolat (aka the Chocolate Rabbit grandparents) will be residing in Town - I am very excited to have them, as I have Plans, especially for the grandfather and his marvellous moustaches... stay tuned...
The Japanese furniture sets were a lovely surprise from some family members who visited Japan earlier this year. The lounge room set is awesome, as the fabric on the seats can be easily changed, making this set a very easily personalised one.
And last but not least, a beautiful home-made dress from Caitlyn - here is a picture of the alpaca girl modelling it (although it is actually destined to belong to Sarah Patches).
I will be updating my Meet The Families page to include all the new arrivals soon, but I want to make clothes for some of them first. There are also big changes afoot for our permanent display setup, so stay tuned - it's all very exciting!
Happy Birthday GreyRabbit! Congratulations on all the birthday gifts!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the lack of boys-too many families nowdays are brotherless!
Great job to Caitlyn on the dress, it looks wonderful! I look forward to all the new happenings and installations in the village!
Happy belated birthday GreyRabbit, and congratulations on all these wonderful presents!
ReplyDeleteI'm very jealous about the Grunts (hehe!), the triplets are so adorable! I'm looking forward to seeing Constance's new dress. :)
Caitlyn already did a wonderful job on Sarah Patches' dress, so I'm sure she will be delighted.
Looking forward to seeing all the new happenings in Macadamia Grove!
Happy very belated birthday, GreyRabbit!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your lovely birthday gifts!
I love the Alpacas. You were lucky to get two sets of the same family. The idea of turning the extra set of parents into grandparents and the extra girl into a boy is fantastic. I would do the same! I also love the new sofa and armchairs. My birthday is next month so I´m going to start giving hints to my husband and kids...haha!
Caitlyn did an amazing job on the dress! Sarah will love it! It fits perfectly on the Alpaca girl. She might like to keep it for herself!
Looking forward to new updates and changes in Macadamia!
