Sylvanian costumes and birthday gifts

Hello everyone!

This fortnight's challenge prompt in the Sylvanian Families Collectors Community was:

Challenge #20: Costumes and Fancy Dress

Halloween is eagerly anticipated by children and adults alike in Sylvania! Apple bobbing, scary stories, and candy are all well-loved Halloween traditions, but more than anything, Sylvanians look forward to showing off their costumes.

Vintage wear, historical figures, popular characters, elaborate fashions, traditional legends and more all make for excellent costume opportunities. Costumes can be beautiful, scary, silly, simple, elaborate, surprising, mysterious - whatever you like!

Make an item or items, photograph a scene, write a story, or do whatever inspires you to do something creative around the Costumes theme!

I was feeling a bit drained after my last (and quite long) story, so just a simple picture from me this time:

  
Babies and children like to wear costumes for the Autumn festival in Arcfield. We have here a princess, a mummy and a little ghost! One of the Waters beavers babies is hiding under that blanket, and I hear that Molly Waters is not too pleased; her oldest twin sons might or might have not made a costume for their baby sister out of a perfectly useful bed blanket...

I made the mummy and ghost costumes by following Mimi's tutorial: http://ashmimi.com/language/en/2015/10/ ... t-baskets/

As you know, last October 19th was my birthday. I received quite a lot of Sylvanian-related presents, I'm delighted!

As you know, back in August I got the gift set for Brick Oven Bakery. As my birthday got closer and on the actual day I also received:

- The Tuxedo cat family (which I had been wanting for a long time, love them! I already had two Tuxedo babies from the blind bags, so that works out great!).
- The Chihuahua family (I adore them, so cute in person!).
- The Splashy Otters with their adorable babies (they're just the cutest!).
- The Fruit Cart.
- The Juice Bar with Betty Blackberry (which complements the fruit cart nicely!).

As you can imagine, I'm quite pleased! Looking forward of thinking of biographies and stories involving my new figures and sets.

I am also happy to report that I received a birthday card from the official SF fanclub! Last year I never got it, so I'm glad to have received it this time.
It's gorgeous and looks a bit like a pop-up book. Here are some pictures. Isn't it adorable? 
It's made to look like the new version of Beechwood Hall, or Red Roof Country Home.

 

 

That's it from me today. Hope you have a great week!
