January 2021's (Very Special) Calendar Picture!

Hello everyone,

I know I said that I wouldn't be doing the monthly calendar picture post this year since I haven't been able to acquire the official calendar, but then, something amazing happened!

My dear, absolutely wonderful friend Cutata sent me this AMAZING calendar she made herself, with her own beautiful pictures! Have you ever seen anything more incredible and special? I was in awe when I received it, and frankly, I still am every time I look at it! For me, it's even better than the official one, since it was a heartfelt gesture from a dear friend. So THANK YOU SO MUCH, Cutata, for your lovely gift! I'll always treasure it! :D

So, how could I NOT keep writing the monthly calendar post? :) I'm sure you all understand, hehe!

Before carefully looking at the lovely picture for January, let me show you a few pictures of the calendar itself:

The Sylvanian rabbits are celebrating the winter holidays! Love all the decorations and their tiny glasses with drinks! Even Munchie is there!
It says "Happy 2021". :)

This lovely picture is on the back of the calendar. Sylvanians playing with their own tiny dollhouses, making dioramas and scenes! :D Could it be more perfect?

I believe Cutata originally posted this lovely picture on her Instagram

Here you can see how the whole calendar looks when displayed on the wall. Cutata left plenty of space for making notes as needed on each month! A thoughtful detail!

I love both the colours (warm tones and pastels, my favourites! :D) and the font type she chose. :)


 
And finally, here we are! This is the first picture of the calendar, the one for the month of January!
 
This picture originally appeared on Cutata's blog, on her entry for the Winter Breakfast forum challenge back in 2019.
 
We can see Agatha Buckley here, with her son Freddie and her husband Rupert. Both father and son are getting ready to take a quick trip to the supermarket, so Agatha is making sure Freddie is suitably warm! 
 
This is a lovely family scene, perfect for this cold month of January (at least here in Spain!). The Buckleys' kitchen in their home of the idyllic Sweet Berry Valley is so cozy and welcoming. Look at the lovely wallpaper and the beautiful hand-made curtains! Cutata has an amazing eye for detail, and that's why her pictures are always such a treat. Everything is always just where and how it should be. I believe Agatha's apron might also be hand-made! 
I love how both father and son are wearing shoes. Perfect, and absolutely needed for walking in the snow! :D
I also love the little poster: "The kitchen is the heart of the home"!
 
If you want to see more pictures of the Buckleys' home, check these posts in Cutata's blog: Here and here!

I'm looking forward to next month's calendar picture already, haha! :)

Thank you VERY MUCH once again, dear Cutata, for your lovely gesture and gift! It made me truly happy. I hope it shows in these monthly posts! :)

Have a wonderful month of January, everyone. Stay safe and healthy!
