October Calendar Picture

Hello everyone!

Believe it or not, October's here already! Only three months left of the year!
Here I am, as usual, with the Sylvanian Families official Calendar picture for this month:

We have a fun Halloween picture this time! A trick-or-treating scene! Lots of yellows and oranges here, and the Sylvanian wearing the pumpkin costume really stands out, right in the center! I believe it's Aidan Osborne, from what we can see of his costume. He also seems to be a regular in these pictures, isn't he? No wonder though as these bears are so adorable! I also love the outfits the Sylvanians behind him are wearing. So cute! One of them is even carrying a little Halloween-y bag to carry the sweets! Inside the house we can see see lovely tiny Halloween decorations, love those little ghosts and bats! And the tiny lollipops look delicious! 
This time we have Freya, Crème AND little brother Kabe! Seems like it's the Chocolate family's home that the trick-or-treaters are visiting. Love the costumes the three of them are wearing, and the cute black star on Freya's cheek!

This picture is probably one of my favourites this year. Really adorable and colourful!

Halloween isn't really much of a tradition here in Spain, but it's been getting more and more popular in the last 5-10 years or so. When I was a child, it wasn't celebrated at all! Now children dress up for school and at the actual Halloween night, and young adults go to themed Halloween parties on that day. 

October is a very special month for me and my collection, as it's my birthday month! My birthday is on October 19th, and on that day, two years ago, my boyfriend gifted me my very first Sylvanian house, Beechwood Hall/City House with Lights! That was the true start of my collection. I already owned a Freya (of course, haha!), the McFarlanes and, I believe, the Girls' Dressing Table set, but wasn't doing much with them. I can't believe it's been two years already! I was afraid I'd lose interest quickly, but since then this hobby has inspired me to write stories, create this blog, and even do some crafting! And I can't see myself stopping collecting anytime soon, haha! My village and collection have really grown since then (I thought back then I'd only ever own one house, haha!) and I'm currently facing a serious lack of space, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. I have plenty of plans and projects for the things I do own, so no worries there!

October also marks the first anniversary of this blog! Last year, on October 2nd, I published my very first post! I had already written two or three stories, that I had posted on the SF Collectors forum, and wanted a place to keep them and so that my village and my collection would have a "home", so to speak. I can't believe I've been regularly posting here for a year already!

I hope you are all enjoying my posts and stories as much as I'm enjoying creating them. This is such a wonderful, wholesome, creative hobby!

Have a great (and slightly spooky! :D) October!
