A Very Unusual Kitchen

Hi everyone!

It's a new year, and I'd like to spend more time with my Sylvanians, so what better way than participating in some forum challenges?

Here's my entry for 2024's challenge number 1, "Kitchens"!

Welcome to 2024! A new year is the perfect time to refresh, redesign or redecorate. We are starting with a focus on the busiest room in the house - the kitchen!

Make an item or items, photograph a scene, write a story or do whatever inspires you to create a project around the Kitchens theme!

The kitchen I bring you today is a bit unusual, though...

Alchemy is kind of like cooking, right? :D

The Midnight cat family (mother Samantha, father James, daughter Chantelle and baby son Reggie) came to Arcfield to perform their fabulous show and stayed for the kindness of the villagers and the unknown, powerful magic of the nearby forest. 

While her husband James is an expert in tricks and illusions, Samantha has always had more mystical talents and an interest in plants and nature, so she couldn't miss the opportunity to study the place. The family doesn't live in the village itself, but right in the mysterious woods.
 

Samantha hasn't yet shared her knowledge and talents with the inhabitants of Arcfield; she's not sure they're ready yet, but she hopes that someday she will be able to share her tea with someone willing to let her use her magic to help them. For now, she enjoys her time alone, quietly studying from her numerous books.


While little baby Reggie, despite being so young, already seems interested in his father's tricks and likes hiding in his top hat from time to time, the couple's older daughter, Chantelle, seems to have inherited her mother's talents. As such, the two of them spend a lot of time together.

Chantelle loves learning about plants, mushrooms and their different uses, and her mother loves teaching her as well.

And, as you can see, Chantelle already knows that, when preparing potions and dealing with possibly dangerous fumes, safety comes first!

That's it for now! Hope you enjoyed my entry for the challenge. I absolutely love this Re-Ment set; I'd wanted it ever since it came out a few years ago, and last year my boyfriend got it for me for my birthday. I couldn't be happier! I had a lot of fun getting all the miniatures out of the little boxes and setting this scene up. I think it might be one of my favourites I've created, but then again, I've always loved witchy stuff, haha!

Have a wonderful rest of the week, everyone!
