A day with the Sylvanians!

Hello everyone!

In the Sylvanian Families Collectors Community forum we had a poll to decide the theme for the next fortnight's challenge and I'm happy to say that the option I suggested, "Sylvanians in the Real World", won!

Challenge #14: Community Choice Vote - Sylvanians in the Real World

The second challenge of July has been decided by the community! Congrats to Ayrell, who made the winning suggestion! Her idea is "Sylvanians in the Real World - Taking photos of Sylvanians in our Surroundings".

Thank you very much to everyone who voted and especially to those that submitted ideas. Any of the suggestions would make a great theme, so maybe we will see some of the others pop up in future challenges.

Make an item or items, photograph a scene, write a story, or do whatever inspires you to do something creative with the Sylvanians in the Real World theme!
 

Even though it was my suggestion, I must admit I had a bit of trouble with it. These past few weeks have been a bit crazy and I haven't really been in much of a Sylvanian mood. Besides, I'm always too shy to take out my figures out in public to take pictures of them! I often carry them with me in my purse when I go out and then can't muster up the courage to photograph them with people around, haha. 

This is a bit different than usual, but hopefully you'll enjoy it all the same!

The other morning, Freya was insisting that I take her to my desk to keep me company while I work. I explained that I would just be working and it would be boring for her, but she insisted!
Barely 15 minutes had passed when...

"Hey, I'm bored"
"I told you you'd be!"

"Come on, take a break, let's chat a bit!"
"Can you please get off my keyboard...?"
I went to get a drink, and when I got back, she'd somehow found a way to browse to my blog on the computer!

"Hey, what is this you're writing about me? This is slander I tell you, SLANDER!"
She then left in a huff, quite offended! Now I'm a bit worried that she'll set up pranks for me around the house... :S
I then had to go out for a bit, and when I came back, I found Fliss Robinson waiting for me.

"How are you doing, dear? My, but you look tired. Here, let me cut up an orange for you. I'll make it into nice slices and even put some cinnamon on them".
"Oh Fliss, there's no need, don't wo...".
She didn't listen to me, of course. I was thinking that it wasn't worth it for her to go through all the trouble, since a Sylvanian-sized orange wouldn't be much of a snack for me.
But then, this is what I found in the kitchen!

"Fliss?!"
"Oh darling, you see, I did manage to find your cutting board, but this orange might be a bit of a problem..."
(Thank you to Tenchibaka on the forum for this idea! :D)

We went to see The Lion King that evening, and Lionel came with us! I think he enjoyed the movie, though he just nodded without a word when I asked.
We bought a pizza for dinner, and when I went to set it on the table, I found the Spinellis on top of the box!

"What do you suppose this is, Carmela?" Anthony asked his wife, who was staring intently into the picture on the box.
"It sure looks like the box of one of your pizzas, daddy!" exclaimed Livia.
"Oh! Maybe we should change the design on our boxes so that they have my face on them! :D"
"Please don't" his younger brother Christopher muttered to himself.

"Ooh, look at this!" exclaimed Carmela.
"If we made a pizza this size, we could host a great event and give it to the whole village to taste! I think it would be great publicity!"
Anthony seemed very excited at this idea, but once again, Christopher only rolled his eyes!  
 

And lastly, here's a picture of the Robinsons next to what could be a huge blackcurrant pie!
(It's blackberry, but bear with me here.. :D )

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
